It is a Mercedes-Benz branded pilot style watch with a high grade Asian Unitas 6497 and sterile dial. I really love the watch, and I've had no complaints. The movement actually runs very well and keeps excellent time. It is also nicely decorated.
Well, the itch started when I picked up a pristine high grade original Unitas recently, for very little money. I knew exactly what to do with it!
Out came the Asian and in went the Unitas.
Although not as nicely decorated, I think the finish on the Unitas looks fantastic.
Lastly, the removed Asian movement. (I must say, this is one of the best I have seen)
The exchange was effortless, bar the dial feet which I had to remove to fit the new movement.
Hope you found this interesting!
