I don't know about your picture, but it does have a screwdown crown. my ad had a 50% off sale last month on accutron and I bought that watch with the blue dial. also has a exhibition back and does run a 25j eta 2824. I also got the chrono version in black. At 50% off they were a steal. it has a valjoux 7750 in it. these are put back as they are keepers.

A Accutron Gemini with a 7750 inside should be on the way some time this week so hopefully by weeks end or next Monday I'll have pics. :cool:

Found a steal of a deal but for it have been waiting over a week already. With that I may have 3 watches inbound this week actually. :D

First, it is a gorgeous watch, but not quite a deadringer for the Tissot Seastar.  I think the bezel gives that impression, but on inspection there is a workd of difference in, not only the cosmestics of the dial and bezel insert, and the hands but in the case shape itself, crown and crown guards....that said, I think I want one!!!hand6.gif
