I first saw these a few years back when Pax was chasing one on the bay .... he ultimately did not get it , but since then I had always had it in the back of my mind ......well I found out that they are a dedicated model marketed in Europe only , which made it difficult to obtain ....Its an inexpensive retro looking ETA 2824 powered Mido , saphire front and back with a decorated display back ....It has no screw down but the 70 year old cork system that Mido patented many years ago ..... that made it a 50 meter watch ....It wears bigger than I thought it would and its 42mm wide + crown and 37 mm in hight ....Here are a few pics
