I went a bit further out than usual when I purchased this Alexander Shorokhoff Vintage 5. It is based around a Swiss made Lanco movement from the 1960's that has been completely updated and rebuilt as well as engraved. The case is 40mm x 8.1mm and the old style domed crystal is 2mm high and made of anti reflective sapphire glass. There is also a Sapphire glass display back on the watch. It also came with an extremely soft calfskin leather strap. I replaced the strap with a darker dressier strap and a polished clasp instead of a buckle. Oh yea, only 25 were made and this one is 23/25.
