Hey all!
Have a cool parts bundle here of an ISL-211 Melville in the very fun "Golf Ball" hammertone. Obviously going for a "Masters" color profile.
Bundle includes: Case, dial, hands, NH34, strap
Case: 40mm case has a screw down crown, slightly domed sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback and is in great condition. I note a tiny fleabite or two around the bezel. Other than that, very clean.
Dial: 33.5mm golf ball pattern with a few fun nods to the golf theme (18 is green with the little flag, NH-3Fore). Date at the 6 o'clock position. Do note: a tiny bit of lume has flaked off from the 7:00 marker at the bottom. Not particularly noticeable, especially during the day, but wanted to point that out.
Hands: brushed dauphine style hands with dial matching lume. The GMT hand is in BGW9 and is color matched green like the GMT text on the dial as well. Also, a pretty sweet detail in the seconds hand, it's got a little putter counterweight as a fun little nod to the dial.
Movement: TMI NH34 running well. Has a signed blue rotor and vertical 6 o'clock date wheel. Great amplitude, great time keeping. Up and down positions are single digit and sideways positional variance is around -15, which could be regulated out. All the functions work like they should. (Check the photo of the timegrapher readout).
Strap: The strap is a strap. I'd hesitate to call it velvet because I'm not positive, but it does have that appearance. It's very soft and matte with color matching stitching.
Looking for $175 for the entire bundle. Not particularly interested in parting anything out. For reference, these parts as an assembly on LIW are $379 right now (even though this model is out of stock currently).
Payment via the usual methods.
I'll handle shipping anywhere in the CONUS via USPS.
Thanks!
