    Arnex Diver France

    Here is something that came in today. Arnex Diver made in France, all stainless case.
    It has a movement that I have had no luck finding. Marked with an oblong oval football shape with AP inside or maybe an HP and 60A. 17 jewels handwinding. It arrived with a broken mainspring so a quick swap and it is running great for 8 hours.

    Sounds and looks like a Parrenin 60A

    Very nice watch.

    BTW, footballs are round. Rugby balls are oval.

    Many of my pictures were posted via Webshots which has now closed - and so have disappeared from WUS. Sorry.

    Please don't PM me to ask for a valuation - I won't attempt one.

    LOL you are correct I should have said "not futbol but the other football".
    That's the movement, wearing it today to check general timing spot on since yesterday.
    It's actually just a bit bigger compared to my other divers but
    I do like it overall and it's a keeper. Thanks for the info.

    Great watch, congrats!
    Luv the dial...I have 3 watches with the same/similar case, and they do wear very well.
