ELGIN (USA) Ref. FK-653-MA ‘Deep Sea’ MVP Most Valuable Player 200m Stainless Steel Gents Dress Chronograph Watch – Quartz

I do not know much about this watch that has been professionally inspected in-house by Localtime but also by our watchmaker and is thus ready to wear or join your collection! It has received a fresh battery and it works very well.

The stainless steel case, dial colour and layout strongly resembles the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch ‘Broad Arrow’ so I presume it was release as a homage to that iconic model. On its back you can see the model reference, the serial number and also the phrase “MOST VALUABLE PLAYER” so maybe these were issued to be award watches? It comes on its original flip-lock steel bracelet and branded box.

As with all the watches we handle in-house, the listed buy-it-now price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
