Watch looks ok. What does "para schock" mean? How much water resist capability....30m, 50m? I assume the glass is mineral? Can you show a diver model?

Thanks for letting is WIS learn something about brands in your country.ThumbsUp02.gif


In this sens, "Para" would go as "Protect against": As the same in "Parachute". "Chute" meaning "Fall" in French. The term "Para" is originating from the Greek and can mean "Aside" also, as in "Paranormal" for ex.
Thanks, amigoThumbsUp02.gif

Hi Hammerfjord,
                          This watch is new and as it came from showroom condition.

In fact dials are hand painted/ lumed, not printed, these watches are made in  same way they were made in 50s, it may look bit shoddy, in this close up shot, but look very nice on wrist.

All the Best
