My new 7C43
So I've just picked up this lonely 34year old 7C43-7010 200m Pro Diver and really like it
I'm lucky as you don't see any full sets these days being from 1986 but this came with box and papers and the condition is stunning



It may look at first glance to be an SKX007 7S26 but this is a quartz movement and so doesn't say Automatic on the dial
The other differences are ,the crown is at 4 o'clock and the hands have a white outline to them


The bezel has 60 clicks and uses a ball not a spring


It still has the 42mm case and looks great on the wrist

It also have a screw down crystal retainer, and a magnetic shield over the movement. Downfalls? Parts are tough to get if you need some.

Enjoy it!

I was thinking this based on the original images of the complete set as well. That's truly a classic. i love the way the dial is so recessed in the case. Immaculate condition. Doesn't get any better.
