Up for sale: Armand Nicolet, automatic movement, 42 mm case, matte black dial with date at 4:30, black ceramic unidirectional rotatable bezel
-steel case and strap
I'm asking $850 + shipping obo.
I could be interested in a trade for a Ball watch.
Description:
The case is rounded, not angular and is mostly mirror polished, similar to a Datejust.
I had problems taking photos of the sides of the case since I didn't use a light box, hence reflections from the whole room. These surfaces are in very good condition.
Given the box-domed sapphire the case is overall quite thin, 12.35 mm thick
The lug to lug is only 47.8 mm and the lugs turn down and wrap around the wrist making the watch very comfortable
-black dial and black bezel
The dial face has a matte texture, plays with the light nicely, sometimes looking like a dark grey. I tried to capture this effect in the various photos.
The 120 click bezel action is very good and aligned properly
-nice box-domed sapphire crystal, with excellent AR on the inside.
I should mention that even though it may look like a dive watch, it really isn't. The crown does not screw down and the rating is only 100 m.
Condition:
The stainless steel case is in excellent condition with very little wear. It's not quite mint, the next level though. The steel strap is in very good condition, just a couple of light scratches as can be seen in the photos.
The rubber strap is pretty much like new.
The ceramic bezel looks to be in like-new condition.
The domed sapphire is in perfect condition.
The dial appears to be untouched.
The movement is keeping excellent time: while wearing it averages to +6 s/day
Specifications:
Reference MA2
movement: AN-890 26 jewel 4 Hz automatic Sellita SW200 with date complication at 4:30
100 m water resistance with signed crown
41.7 mm diameter case and 41.8 mm OD of bezel,
47.8 mm lug to lug, 12.8 mm thickness
22 mm lug spacing, strap tapers down to 20 mm, with excellent signed foldover clasp.
Included with watch: outer box, inner box, papers, manual, steel strap (and all extra links), polishing cloth, and rubber strap.
I have accumulated good references here on CWC.
Feel free to message me with any questions and for more photos if needed.
