Other: This rare Elgin was acquired directly from a former employee of the Elgin Watch Company. The color combination is absolutely incredible and the watch wears extremely well on the wrist with its larger case and modern feel. And how about the dial? It is really something special with its shiny black outer track, dark grey inner track, and brushed silver center. Oh and the vintage Italian lizard strap pulls everything together and matches the dial perfectly. It doesn't get much cooler than this for $525...
