FOR REPAIR – while the date and time can be set without issue and the crown wound, the movement will sometimes run for several hours at a time while at other times it stops intermittently. When it does run consistently it loses several minutes. Additionally, a movement screw has come loose and will be included in a separate bag. As a result the movement and dial have some wiggle. Given these issues and considering the movement’s unknown service history a complete overhaul is required. This vintage Arnex diver has a black “FRANCE” signed dial that is in lovely but not perfect condition as it shows some difficult to see wear. In person it presents beautifully. Please note that majority of the imperfections seen are on the crystal. The lume, which remains fully intact and briefly glows on the seconds hand only after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a perfectly matching warm buttermilk hue. The stealth bezel, which rotates a bit stiffly bidirectionally, appears to have been sanded down. The heavy duty all stainless steel case shows minor wear with no signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped “ALL STAINLESS STEEL ANTIMAGNETIC” with “100%” followed by “WATERPROOF TESTED, “”20 ATMOSPHERES” and “54160” stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped “ARNEX TIME Co” followed by FRANCE. The crystal should be replaced. The 17 jewels unadjusted France “ARNEX TIME INC” stamped ETA 2472 automatic movement with quickset date function is clean and runs. However, sometimes it runs for several hours at a time while at other times it stops intermittently. The quickset date function works flawlessly by manually rolling over a new date and then moving the hour hand repeatedly between the 20.5 and 24 hour marks until the desired date has been reached. The roulette date wheel rolls over at 12 o’clock as it should. The dented, non-screw down crown winds smoothly. Given the mentioned issues and considering the movement’s unknown service history (there are several watchmaker service markings on the inside of the case back) a complete overhaul is required. This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding the crown, approximately 40.5 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 10.5 mm. Given that this watch is more than 50 years old and considering the noted issues a complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.

While the movement runs strong and keeps accurate time over an approximate 41 hour power reserve period, none of the chronograph functions work (pushers don’t engage so the start/stop/reset function does not work – sweep seconds hand and minute counter hand don’t move). Given this and considering that the movement has likely never been serviced, a complete overhaul is needed. This vintage Arnex broad arrow chronograph, which is seldom seen in this particular dial design and hands configuration, appears to be in untouched condition. The “T SWISS MADE T” signed dial has aged from an originally black color to a uniform chocolate brown hue. The first picture shown was taken under cloudy, natural lighting conditions whereas pictures two through seven were taken on flash to give a more accurate representation of the dial color. But, and in my humble opinion, when bright light is shined on the dial the brown is much more prominent than what the pictures show, appearing to be more of a milk chocolate hue. It is a truly special. The tritium on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a quick-burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a perfectly matching warm golden buttermilk patina. The black bezel, which rotates bidirectionally with the appropriate amount of tension, presents much better in person than in the pictures. The all stainless steel case is in wonderful condition showing minor wear, no visibly noticeable dents or dings and has nearly visually imperceptible signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped WATERRESISTANT TESTED 20 ATMOSPHERES INCABLOC SWISS MADE ANTIMAGNETIC ALL STAINLESS STEEL. The crystal shows scratching. While I normally takes pictures of the movements of watches that I put up for sale, the case back on this one is torqued too tight for me to remove. It’s possible that the case back has never been removed. Based on several of the same reference that I’ve owned in the past the movement is likely a 17 jewels Valjoux 7733 manual wind. After recently winding the sharply threaded, non-screwdown crown 47 full revolutions (phenomenal for a manual wind) the movement kept accurate time over an approximate power reserve period of 41 hours. However, none of the chronograph functions work (pushers don’t engage so the start/stop/reset function does not work – sweep seconds hand and minute counter hand don’t move). Given that none of the chronograph functions work and considering that the movement has likely never been serviced, a complete overhaul is needed. This watch measures approximately 38 mm excluding the crown, approximately 41 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 11 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 13 mm. Although the movement runs strong and keeps accurate time, none of the chronograph functions work. Given this and considering that the movement has likely never been serviced a complete overhaul is needed. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully, which were taken in natural light and from various angles, as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
