Vintage Waltham Electrodyne French Diver Watch w/LIP R184 Mvmt FOR PARTS ONLY

Description: ***********FOR PARTS ONLY - The LIP R184 movement does not run. The dial has a few visible screws in it, which is not correct, and the crown/stem is missing.***********This seldom seen vintage 1970's Waltham Electrodyne has a black/grey/red accented "FRANCE" only signed dial which has had two screws put in at approximately the 4 and 9 o'clock marks, respectively. I don't know the history of this watch so not sure why they were put in, but they aren't correct for this watch. The lume, which emits a quick burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. Some lume is missing from the minute hand. The black bezel, which shows wear and rotates bidirectionally with an appropriate amount of tension, presents nicely with the toasted butterscotch lume pip complementing the dial and patina beautifully. The all stainless steel case shows honest wear with minor signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "ALL STAINLESS STEEL CASE WATER RESISTANT SHOCK RESISTANT" with "WALTHAM" followed by "ELECTRODYNE" stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped "WALTHAM WATCH Co" followed by "FRENCH MADE,""B450" and "184.60.686.0." The crystal should be replaced. The 13 jewels unadjusted France "WALTHAM WATCH Co" stamped LIP R184 movement with electromechanically controlled balance motor and hack feature does not run and the crown/stem is missing. This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding 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 10 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 14 mm. The movement does not run and the crown/stem is missing. 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.Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. And please study the 17 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.Expedited and insured shipping along with signature confirmation will be provided. Thanks for looking! ***********FOR PARTS ONLY - The LIP R184 movement does not run. The dial has a few visible screws in it, which is not correct, and the crown/stem is missing.***********
