That's different! Slender, yes...not sure about the super. What are the dimensions, please? Gold...18k, 14k? Case back pic?

Well done for leading with the pictures...now we need some data. Thus I've asked a few questions.

Looks pretty super to me :)

I like that a lot.

I read it as "super-slender" and wondered about the domed acrylic (?) etc. But if the super is a standalone adjective...it could refer to anything.

Had to get my kid out of his bed after afternoon nap... ;) - You are not very patient are you?

Its gilted, 36 mm. Crystal seems original, has some tension cracks around the perimeter.

Very nice. 1960s? In a way it's a shame it doesn't have a display back so as to see the micro-rotor in action.

Yes, 60's watch. The original case back is (super slender) too thin to convert it into a display back. Personally I like the 1321 movement somewhat better esthetically (slightly bigger rotor).

I seem to recall that there is someone who can do custom display case backs.

I actually read it as super blender, and spent more time then I'd care to admit looking at the picture and wondering "does it... blend?"

Great little piece though, congrats

Very nice Super Slender I like that Thin-o-Matic sort of thing

The crystal is a replacement as it is stopping it being "slender".

I have a Hamilton Intra-Matic that is really thin with a flat glass.

I'll have the plexi replaced anyway, because of damage. I'll have them check for a flat version, though this doesn't look too bad. Note that the case is much thicker than the Hamilton shown.

Yep, not really that "slender" at all in reality.

What's the deal with micro rotor? Is it for the purposes of displaying manufacturing skills?

Originally to make automatics thinner.

Yep.

In the past slim dress watches and the making of them was in the orbit of the best makers. If you saw a very slim watch you knew it was something of quality.

Nowadays not so much.
