60's GP DEEP DIVER question
Hi,I am looking for some information about this deep diver gyromatic watch 
I got it today in mail and now I am considering the plan of restoring - bezel will need it, crystal and dial are nice as well the hands
As far as I am informed its early 60's watch - the movement is gyromatic 25 jewels - #3109137
case steainless steel except for the bezel ring with number between lungs 78971288
the back is marked stainless steel and its snap it case
I saw this watch with similar dial and bezel but different hands - those hands look original to me but I have no reference as well no info about this watch - so if anyone seen it or can tell something about it it would be really great help
I ll upload some better pictures soon
My best
Rafal

After serius inspection
It seams that the watch is in original shape, the bezel is steel as well - its some rust for the storage that gave chrome corrosion impression, Now it will go for a good movement cleaning it got case cleaning, hands filling with original tritium paste ref...
I didn't know this watch till you posted it here, Rafal.
But I love it! Damn, my wish list is getting bigger and bigger. Best, Nicolas
Nicolas, thank you
I didn't know it either in this version - thats why I was asking after I got it - It steel need some work - bezel pin needs to be replaced - so it can click again, as well the case needs some touch, dial is 90% - some small imperfections but considering a...
Well, to me the dial looks very acceptable, as well as the rest of the watch.
Very cool find, my friend. Can't wait to see the improvements, but be careful, I wouldn't touch the case too much. It looks very acceptable, to me. Best, Nicolas
Bello
interessante pezzo. l'avevo visto in asta e credo di aver fatto anche una micro offerta ma pensavo che non fosse possibile restaurare la ghiera. Pensavo che i denti laterali fossero molto rovinati e che fare una nuova cromatura nuova creasse troppo contra...
thats very helpfull
Giuseppe - You have beautiful white dial one, as for the bezel I think I ll have my restored next month in Eu - I am already making arrangements so we going to see how this will turn around thank you for the information about the crown - by any chance you...
diametro e altro
Il diametro della corona è di 5, 5 mm, l'altezza è circa 2,3 mm ( misura approssimativa ). La mia impressione è che la corona, originale secondo me, sia grande per il tipo di orologio e per la sua epoca. Ma direi che ci sono anche altre caratteristiche ab...

You are right Nicolas - Nos stela neptun skin diver plexi
thank you As soon as I ll get the crown and movement serviced I ll try to share better pictures and description my best Rafal
Have the same watch
I actually recently found the same watch when cleaning out my fathers house after he passed away. Would you mind tell me what you paid for your's I am trying to put a ballpark value on the watch.
thats a really great version of the Gyromatic Rafal
i like the way you have sympathetically improved it. i wont say restore as you havent done enough for that, but it looks just perfect the way it is. for collectors of dive watches this could be a long hard search dont you think Nico enjoy Graham
