[WTS] Caravelle Sea Hunter "Devil Diver" 666ft (Needs Service) | $220 Shipped OBO
For sale is a Caravelle Sea Hunter “Devil Diver” 666 foot watch. This is a pretty desirable vintage watch for its resemblance to the Rolex 1016 (many pop off the bezel to get the look even more dead on). These are some great videos on the Devil Diver: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW2QQN-\_Og](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW2QQN-_Og) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixOXI9T8Vvs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixOXI9T8Vvs) **My video walkthrough:** [**https://youtu.be/69t3V6RmUWI**](https://youtu.be/69t3V6RmUWI) I sold a different one on r/WatchExchange some months back ([here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1bvc8ob/wts_final_reduction_1970_caravelle_sea_hunter/))… this is the second one from the eBay auction that I hung on to. It’s in vintage condition. The bezel is “going ghost” (I personally like the worn down look of it) and the case has its fair share of scratches. The crystal is perfect, can’t find a single scratch there. The dauphine hands have aged beautifully and the bidirectional bezel turns with a nice amount of resistance. The caseback has a name engraved in it dated to 1955. The crown seems original with the C logo, and I’m including an aftermarket bracelet I picked up from eBay ([here](https://www.ebay.com/itm/172342070570)) for $40. BYOSB (bring your own spring bars). The watch winds wonderfully, sets time wonderfully, and from giving it 25 winds, it’s kept time over the last 10 hours and is still going strong. The catch: I recall that something during shipping from eBay (bought from [wcnoodle](https://www.ebay.com/usr/wcnoodle)) slightly unset the minute hand. I remember wearing it at the start and noticing the hand would slide around the dial with enough of a shake. So I just put it in a drawer and did not take it out till now. I just tried shaking it vigorously and curiously the hand doesn’t budge out of place at all anymore, but knowing that it did when I initially got it, I’m being fully transparent here. Expect to service this watch, hence the steeply discounted price… I paid $330 for watch + bracelet, I’m asking $220 shipped CONUS or best offer. I don’t think you can find a comp in this range. Only brought it out of the drawer to sell and pay some unexpected college bills. Happy to provide photos, videos, or whatever else you need for a smooth transaction. Would be a wonderful addition to a vintage collectors portfolio. Cheers!
