Other: This rare vintage Record watch is a great buy for well under $500. We love the metallic two-tone salmon dial with large luminous numerals and blued-steel hands. The red "AUTOMATIC" and "ANTI-MAGNETIC" lines of text on the dial add just the right amount of color to the classic 1950s look. This particular reference is powered by an in-house Record bumper automatic movement with sub-seconds register, a detail that we don't often see on contemporary watches. The brown lizard grain strap is a nice compliment and can be dressed up with a suit and tie or worn casually with a t-shirt and jeans.
