Vintage Titus Calypsomatic restoration

The Titus Calypsomatic is a hidden gem for divers watch and their prices has been escalating years after years. One of the key reason is due to its large 38mm size plus the black gilt  dial and the huge winding crown. It has the look and feel of the Rolex 5508 and has the big screw down crown as added features. 

For those who don’t want to pay high prices for a Rolex 5508 can get this as a good alternative.It has a pair of interesting hands plus a lollipop second hands too. It is a used TOOL watch. This is a Vintage Titus Calypsomatic Diver watch with the BIG winding crown that needs restoration. The crystal and hands shall need to be replaced too.
