Title:
Extremely Rare Abercrombie and Fitch Oval Pusher Steel Chronograph
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Small size with a tight three piece
steel case has not been buffed and is nearly new old stock. There are a
few faint scuffs on the bezel and some tool mark scratches on the back
but the edges are sharp and the original finish in place. You can see
that it is signed with the store name which is rare for private label
(dept. or jewelry store named) watches. Most are only signed on the dial
or sometimes dial and movement. Few are triple signed (Tiffany is one).
Gorgeous dial has been professionally refinished and is one of the
nicest chrono dials I have seen. Oval pushers and signed Valjoux hand
wound Swiss made shock protected chronograph movement. Runs great and
has a nice Croc strap attached. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 39 mm long x 12 mm thick.

it has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. The pink
dial has been professionally refinished/repainted. A real nice unusual
piece of vintage jewelry with a gorgeous watch attached. Really good
looking in person. Measures 18 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 30 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Title: Nice Bulova Accutron, Circa 1967
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Got this watch a couple of weeks ago and put
a new battery inside and watched it. It is keeping really good time so
far which seems to be somewhat rare with old Accutron watches. They were
the first battery or non-mechanical watches and used a tuning fork for
accurate timekeeping. You can hear it humming in a high pitch if you
hold it up to your ear. This is a Caliber 214, commonly called a back
set as the setting mechanism is on the back. See what the movements look
like by clicking on this example of a
Bulova Spaceview Accutron.
which is a see through version we've sold in the past. No crown. Perfect
original gold dial. Lightly scuffed and nicked middle body. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 13.5 mm thick.

Title:
Bulova Spaceview Accutron Circa 1964
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. From the original owner, not a watch
collector or dealer. I have not checked the case number but I believe
that this is an original spaceview, not a conversion. It runs great and
has light wear including some scuffs on the original spaceview crystal.
Bulova Accutron watches were the first electric or battery operated time
pieces, along with the Hamilton electric and they were extremely
expensive and unique in their day and still are. Using a tuning fork for
the important part Bulova avoided timing problems caused by the
traditional balance wheel which the Hamilton Electrics still used. Nice
shape with average wear on the yellow gold filled case. This watch has a
high pitched whine which is the fork. A new Hadley Roma strap is
attached. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Bulova Spaceview Accutron in YGF Case
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Circa 1965. Steel back, reference 2387. Gold filled
middle body. Spaceviews are Accutrons with no dial. So you can see the
"works". Notice the functional tuning fork under the center
pinion? This one was most likely converted to a spaceview in its earlier
days. Runs great and keeps good time. Bargain priced for a quick sale. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Wonderful Original Bulova Accutron Spaceview, Circa 1963
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Rare original steel spaceview with new old
stock steel Accutron bracelet. Some scuffs.
Mint original see through dial. These early battery watches used a
tuning fork to regulate the frequency and time. You can hear them
humming when put to your ear at a high pitched tuning fork tone. Model
214's are back set like this one and any good 214 movement will work for
parts if ever needed. A new battery has been installed. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick.

Nice Charcoal Dial Bulova Accutron
Description:
GOOD condition. Nice vintage watch in a yellow gold
plated 218 case. 218's have the crown on the side instead of the back
like 214's. This is one of the last tuning fork movements made, circa
1974. Very fun watch to wear and show to non watch friends. Hums at a
high pitch. This one came from a watchmaker's collection and keeps good
time. I've added a nice new black leather strap. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick.

Wonderful Hard to Find Bulova Astronaut w/Bracelet
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. It takes awhile to find these with accurate
timekeeping abilities but we have and this watch has been checked out
completely by our watchmaker and keeps superb time. I have been checking
it now for over a month. Near perfect original aged black dial.
Excellent steel case only has some minor scuffs and dates from 1965.
Bracelet looks original and is signed but the end pieces don't look like
a perfect fit to me so it is possible they or parts of the bracelet have
been put together although this is just how we found it. These watches
are selling for $900 and up on the vintage market place. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick.

Wonderful 1968 Stainless Steel Bulova Accutron
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Most dealers would call this nearmint.
It is just really nice with the finest 214 original dial have have seen
in some time. It is silvered with superb original minute track and tiny
lightly aged lum dots. The hands are original too with matching, lightly
aged luminescent material. My watchmaker Wayne has gone through this
watch and I purchased it only because it keeps excellent time (generally
I avoid Accutrons). After two weeks I have seen no error or discrepancy
from our atomic clocks. Less than one second a day from what I can see.
Bulova Accutron watches were one of the very first battery watches made
and the method used is tiny coils, a transistor and a steel tuning fork
which vibrates at a consistent rate. All steel with a new battery
installed. This watch is set on the back (Caliber 214). Very attractive
timepiece from the 1960's in superb condition! A brand new
Hadley Roma 881 oil tan strap with a
stainless steel buckle is attached. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 39 mm long x 13 mm thick.

Super Cool Green Dial Bulova "214"
Accutron
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. I believe that the little white dots or
spots on this dark green dial are some form of age but they are so
evenly spaced out that the dial appears to be made this way and
resembles a Longines "Galaxy" type dial, to my eye. I like it. It looks
pretty nice with the white hands and crown free design. This is a
back set or 214 caliber tuning fork battery operated timepiece made in
1970. The steel case is in nice condition with some scuffs here and here
and the watch is keeping good time. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Railroad Approved Bulova Accutron, Circa
1976
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. This
is a good-looking affordable railroad approved time piece
with a 10k rolled gold plated case and the rarer Canadian 24hr inner
dial in red. It has normal scuffs from use and is
dated to 1976 with the Bulova date code "N6" seen on the back. This is a
hack set battery powered tuning fork movement and it is keeping good
time (for an Accutron) showing half a minute or so slow per 24hr period. It has a date,
which changes exactly at midnight. It is a "slow set" and so the hour
hand must be moved past midnight to change. This type of Accutron is
very collectible and rarely offered at this price by other dealers.
Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick.

Description:
EXCELLENT condition. This is a really nice watch with a perfect
original dial. The gold filled case has a steel back and is about 85%
with scuffs here and there but the dial is 99% and really nice to look
at. My favorite part about this "214" model is that it is keeping superb
time. This early (1966) Doctor's timepiece has a fantastic look with
it's symmetrical shape (the setting crown is on the back) and aesthetic
rare dial. We have added a new

These diamonds are more valuable than the rough cut you will find on
older watches. Solid 14k gold and fully marked. Small bracelet which is

Title: Extra Nice Thin
Astorex 25 jewel Super Automatic
AS FOUND
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Recently the property of a collector. I
think that this is a really neat watch because it is so thin for an
automatic. The ETA 2472 full rotor, shock protected, 25 ruby jewel, full
rotor movement is only thick in the center where the rotor is attached,
so the case designer kept the profile thin except for the middle where
it goes up, kind of like a short, flat topped volcano. Steel back, gold
plated main body, beautiful original silvered dial, old style quick set
(move the hour hand past mid-night, back past nine and repeat), and
makes a great back up for parts on the hard to find and extremely
valuable Doxa Sharkhunter
and Sub watches which use the same movement exactly. It takes a 19mm
strap and the one on it is old, maybe even the original but it is
genuine vintage alligator so you may have it and a new one, up to
$30 from our accessories page. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 10.5 mm thick in the center, 8 mm thick on
the edge.

Title: Sweet 25j Ball Official RR Standard Trainmaster, Ca.
1960's
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. It is hard not to like a vintage time piece
with a dial like this and all the attributes of modern automatic
watches. The Ball movement (ETA 2632) has a full winding rotor, 25
jewels, Incabloc shock protection, hack setting with easy to see red
second hand, springless double click wheel (Eterna patent), one piece
screwless balance beating 21,600 times per hour and a long running
reserve. I'm pretty sure that the modern ETA movement we all see in
practically every watch made these days, cannot offer much more as far a
functionality or technical innovations. Pristine mint plus original dial
which many think is porcelain like the old pocket watch dials but in
fact is just a really high grade glossy white and black paint. You just
have to own a Ball Trainmaster before you can appreciate why they are so
popular. All steel case was definitely used by the owner who also has
his initials on the back RSB. So, even though we've lightly buffed the
case the scuffs and nicks from original use are still evident. Wayne has
gone through the movement checking it for problems, dirt and regulated
it for accurate timekeeping. The crown is a modern replacement as is the
crystal, both new. Wayne has also added new gaskets and noted the Ball
signed case reference #842347. On a brand new
Hadley Roma MS 882 padded
Breitling style black leather strap. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 10.5 mm thick.

Description:
VERYGOOD condition. This is a great bargain for someone who
wants one of these watches but doesn't want to pay the usual $600 price.
Perfect white dial with highly legible black Arabic numerals, black
hands and a red second hand. The steel case is perfect on top with the
original satin finish but does have some light pitting on the back. This
is from the original owner who had caustic sweat. We see that often on
tool watches as this was made to be worn by engineers, conductors and
train masters while at work. It does not affect the water resistant
integrity of the screw back case, just the aesthetics. The 25j Ball
(base caliber ETA 2822) automatic movement has been fully serviced,
oiled and timed by our watchmaker and comes with a one year service
warranty. A new crystal and crown have also been installed. A brand new
Hadley Roma black leather perforated sporting style strap with a
steel buckle is included but you may choose something different if you
want. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the

Outstanding Ball Official Standard
Trainmaster
Description:
NEARMINT condition. Almost new old stock with caveats. A watch
may be considered new old stock and still have marks or scratches. How
is this so? We look at several different factors other than the external
appearance. This fine piece has not been buffed as evidenced by the
original circular sand marks on the screw back. It has not been serviced
as there are no service marks on the inside of the back. The movement is
also pristine. We can see this (from a layman's view) by looking at the
blue screws and other screws for burr marks and other signs of service.
But, there are many small nicks and scuffs here and there on the case.
Most are not highly noticeable and in fact, you can see them in the
close-up photos by clicking on the small image to the left. The 25j
Swiss automatic movement keeps good time and hacks as it should. A super
cool Hirsch "sportline" black strap is included. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 43 mm long x 11 mm thick.

Extra Nice Benrus Double Date Pointer w/Box
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. These small or medium (for vintage) sized
watches are a great start for collectors who wish to focus on
"complications". Mechanical movements with additional functions, besides
telling time, are more difficult to design and build. So much so, that
one of the ultimate complications which we take for granted now, the
automatic chronograph, was not even invented until the 1960's. See one
of these in this example of a Heuer/Buren micro-rotor.
Heuer Carrera. Anyway, this
is a good AFFORDABLE place to start your collection. This Benrus is
original with some superficial age on the two part gold plated and
stainless steel (snap on back) case, super nice original two tone
silvered and beige dial, clean working Benrus hand wound movement with
quick set day of the month hand (push in crown) and day of the week at noon.
A new DeBeer Paris 16 mm strap and a Benrus box from the shop which
matches the era (about 1950) is also included. The box is missing the

Chronograph
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. We have had really nice pink gold Breitling
chronographs before, seen here....or

and they have sold quickly too but they weren't
this model. This one is extra large and with the original black dial. It
does show some general evenly spread age plus two spots just left of the
center pinion (where hands attach and over the 7). They have a spot of
black paint on them which was a repair of sorts ages ago. Almost perfect
pink fully signed snap back case. And the original hands do have some
light corrosion. The typical Breitling (Landeron Caliber 39 Swiss made)
chronograph movement is not signed on the chronograph bridge like usual
so this piece may have been assigned for export somewhere in a southern
or non-European country. It is original to the case and dial. Measures 37.5 mm wide (not including the

Outstanding 18k Pink Gold Breitling
Premier
Description:
EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. Boy. These watches (vintage gold Breitling
chronographs) have completely disappeared from the market. We used to
buy and sell early snap backs like this and later screw back models
with round pushers all the time. The prices were much lower two or three
years ago too. It means that supply has shrunk, especially with
nearmint examples. This qualifies. The original dial is almost perfect.
It is just about a good as you can get for a 60 year old watch. The case
is also in superb condition. One measure of wear is to look at the back
where the watchmaker's knife blade is inserted. You are able to see in
the close-up shots that it has little wear in that area. In addition,
you can see that the original brushed finish on the sides is un-buffed
and almost like new. The movement (Venus Caliber 175) also carries the same condition and
runs to perfection with the chronograph hand setting to the 10th second
perfectly. Three nice examples of this rare watch have been purchased
from an astute collector. One has a nice black dial and may be available
a bit later. Notice the large monogram on the back. Model 760 with case
number 630973. These models are not thin or tin can like we call some
typical gold chronos of this era. They are thick and heavy. Measures 35.4 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick.

movement is very clean and keeps perfect time. I have been wearing this
watch for a couple of months and it loses about a second a week.
The snap back case is signed and is all steel with a dust cover over the
movement. It has been buffed and shows some nicks and a little corrosion
in some small spots. It carries a used Hirsch strap with a stainless
steel deployant buckle. Please choose a nice
Hadley Roma strap, except the exotics. Finally, this watch looks
fantastic in person and really stands out on your wrist. Worn to the

Very Rare British Broad Arrow One Button
Artillery
Chronograph
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Nearly one of a kind this type of
chronograph was made specifically for pilots and other military timers
like gunners who where able to determine the range of enemy artillery
units. Factory modified with no hour or minute hand and Valjoux's
special GHT hand wound chronograph movement featuring 17 jewels and
18,000 bph (beats per hour). According to Ziggy this type was issued to
the British Army's Air Observation Post crews. The 1/5 signifies the
ability to record timing intervals to one fifth of a second and although
the TP is not completely understood most agree it means Temporary
Pattern as most war time chronographs have a patt. #3139 style mark
(pattern number). Superb shape with the original finish on the all steel
case. Most military watches were made of chrome plated base metals to
save resources making steel much rarer. Wire lugs ensured
that the watch would not break free from your wrist. The painted metal
dial is original and perfect except for some flaking down at the bottom. A brand new

Big 14k Pink Gold Paul Buhre,
Manufacture'
Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. This is a real sweet timepiece and a little
larger than most from this era. It measures a millimeter or two larger
and
feels bigger too because of the narrow bezel and large diameter pink dial
(refinished). It has large beefy lugs and looks fantastic overall. The
signed snap back covers a signed hand wound Swiss made movement and this
case is also reinforced with metal to help beef up the watch which feels
good in the hand and on the wrist. The firm "Manufacture des Montres Paul
Buhre SA" opened a small shop in St. Petersburg Russia in 1815. Paul
Leopold Buhre along with other Swiss watchmakers (Courvoiser and Cie and
Tissot) was attracted to the area by Catherine II's efforts to start a
watch and clock factory. Buhre's main factory was located in Le Locle
Switzerland. It expanded rapidly from its trade in Russia and by 1945
was touting 300 observatory prizes including Neuchatel and Breguet
competitions. The firm continued through the 1970's with ads listing
marine and wrist chronometers. If you think our price for this 14k pink
gold watch is high, please check Farfo.com where a chrome plated model
is listed at $399! A nice new
Hadley Roma 835 Gator Tail style dark brown leather strap is

Stunning Near Mint Vintage Bulova Hand Wind
Serviced
Description:
NEARMINT condition. There are a few scuffs on the sides of the
lugs but the yellow gold filled case has its original unbuffed finish. The steel back is
dated 1950 with Bulova's date code. Beautifully engraved bezel and
original signed crown. Also, the original thin glass crystal is still
perfect. Mint original silvered dial is to die for. Gorgeous 17j Bulova
Caliber 10BM keeps great time, was serviced by the previous owner and is
made in America. A very striking
vintage time piece. You can have the old Bulova box also which is from
the era but not original to this watch. Probably had a smaller watch in
it as the top doesn't close all the watch with this watch in it. It
makes a nice presentation though and would be an excellent gift. Measures 25 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 38 mm long x 9 mm thick.

VERYGOOD condition. Sweet Swiss made time piece, circa 1971 with
a high grade, fully automatic Bulova Caliber 11BLACD which has been
checked out and gone through by our watchmaker Wayne. He has also put in
new gaskets and a new acrylic crystal. The dial is original,
fairly unique and really nice with small tritium dots outside the
attractive red makers and their color matches perfectly the beige lum in
the hands. Our super close up photos (click on the image to the left)
show corrosion but I cannot see it at all without a loupe. The large
(for vintage) stainless steel case has nicks on each side but we have
also buffed it a little so it looks pretty nice. Signed crown. Old style
quick set date works by moving the hour hand past midnight, back to nine
and repeat. A brand new Hadley Roma 886

Title: Nice Stainless
Steel Rare American Made 23j Bulova Automatic
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Nice attractive watch from the 1950's with a
cool sunburst style original black dial and in-house 23 jewel American
made Bulova movement. I was previously only aware of the Eglin Caliber
760 and 761 American made automatics,
seen here. But it says USA, not
SWISS on the movement which is all the proof I need. Bulova had
factories in both America and Switzerland and we know that hand wound
movements were made here but I was not aware of the occasional
automatic. American made automatic movements are scarce as hen's teeth
and an area one can concentrate in without spending a fortune. The screw
back steel case won't wear like the white gold filled model we see
sometimes. Purchased from one of our watchmakers who has checked it out. Measures 31
mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 12.5 mm thick.

Accutron watches were one of the first battery operated timepieces but
instead of using a balance wheel (Hamilton Electrics) or a piece of
quartz (invented later) they used an actual steel tuning fork to
regulate the beat. You can hear it humming in a pleasant high pitch if
you put it to your ear. Very accurate and our watchmaker checked it out
completely. It is keeping good time. We have installed our nice
Hadley Roma Kevlar style black strap with a steel buckle. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the

Gorgeous Small Early Waterproof Bulova
w/Sweet Dial
Serviced
Description:
GOOD condition. We have this graded as only "good" because
there is a thin crack on the case between the lugs at six. This is not
going to cause the watch to malfunction or fall apart but it is
something to consider and one should also note that vintage
watches, waterproof or not should be kept out of the water. The Swiss
made Bulova Caliber
10BCC hand wound movement has been fully
serviced, oiled and timed and has also had a new mainspring
installed. It runs great, keeping good time. Overall nearmint condition.
Could be original or extra high quality re-finish on this dial. I took
it as original at first but am unsure now. Outstanding eye appeal but
watch is small to medium which is not uncommon for late 30's or early
40's watches. Dates from 1940 and has a nice black pig skin strap with
steel buckle attached.

Rare Bulova One Button Chronograph
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. These old watches (1940's) are very unique
and rare. Unusual in that the chronograph only times for 60 seconds with
no 30 minute or 12 hour counter. The subsidiary dial at 6 is the normal
seconds. The start, stop and reset button is in the center of the crown
which is very cool and unique. The gold filled, snap back case is very nice with no
"wear
through". It has been buffed but there are no noticeable
scratches or dings. The dial appears to be original but rates abut 80%
with some fading on the outside edge. I believe this is the original
hand crafted and tooled cowboy style leather strap. This hard to find
collectible is one of most unique watches one can own and at an
affordable price. Measures 29 mm wide (not including the

Long 21j Curved Bulova w/Black Dial

the $300 range. It has a high grade American made 21j hand wound
movement and the original unmarked glass crystal. There is some wear
through to brass on the tops of the lugs but this is not seen easily
because brass and gold are similar in color when polished. It is keeping
good time, is easy to wind and to wear and has a brand new 15 mm wide

Beautiful Extra Fine Bulova Duo-wind
Automatic Tank
Description:
NEARMINT condition. When was the last time you saw a large
vintage automatic timepiece with a rectangular/tank shaped case? They
did not make many as I don't believe that they took hold at the time.
When we do see them the condition is usually poor. This fantastic large
watch is nearly one of a kind. In point, as we should all know, the
extra fine and nearmint vintage watches are purchased and held by the
most astute collectors. They always increase in value exponentially.
Don't miss out on extra ordinary pieces when available. This is the
FIRST nearmint duo-wind I have seen in 10 years. Anyway, it is nice
and all original. The gold filled case does have faint scuffs but has
not been buffed. The automatic Swiss Bulova movement runs great and a
brand new highest grade Hirsch strap is included. Signed crown. Original
unmarked glass crystal. Early piece dating from 1950 (L0), according to
the Bulova date code on the back and movement. Measures 25.5 mm wide (not including the

Hard to Find SS Bulova Wrist Alarm, Circa

VERYGOOD/EXCELLENT condition. Despite nicks and scuffs on this thick steel
case and one crown which is narfed up a bit, this is a great chance for
a good deal on an attractive (mint original dial) functioning
complicated Swiss timepiece. Alarms are still undervalued and steel is
the best to collect, after gold. The signed crown at two winds and sets
the watch. It also winds the alarm barrel. Turn clockwise to wind alarm,
counter clockwise for the movement (mainspring). The crown at four sets
the alarm hand and allows the ring when in the pulled out position. The
Bulova Caliber 11AERC has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. A

is flush with the top/bezel of the watch. The crown is new and unsigned.

Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Not known as "quality" high grade timepieces
sometimes character watches do not come in attractive packages. This is
a nice looking watch by comparison and has a good quality case. The dial
is 99% with very little sign of wear. The hands show a tiny bit of age
if you look with a powerful loupe. Formerly the property of a collector
this watch runs and keeps pretty good time even though the hand wound
movement is not expensive. All of the watches in this/his collection are

Title: Large 18k Pink
Gold Chronographe Suisse
Serviced
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. This is a large solid gold 1940's Swiss two
register chronograph with a thin four part pink gold case and awesome
original dial. The Landeron Caliber 48 movement has been fully
serviced, oiled and timed at some expense and has a one year service
warranty. It is protected with a metal dust cover which also doubles as
an anti-magnetic shield. Click on the image to the left for some large
photos of the movement and rest of this watch. Priced a little higher
than some in this genre because of condition, serviced movement, color
and size. Way less than a thicker gold chrono which would be double or
more easily. Like a Breitling
Premier for instance. In the trade we call these types "tin can"
chronos. Several dings are visible here and there and one on a lug side
which is noticeable. Fantastic, near mint original dial is to die for
and radiates a nice glow. On the outside there is a Tachymeter scale
which can time speed in a mile. Then a Telemeter scale which times sound
and then a 1-60 scale inside that. Just a pretty watch all over with a
nice large size and tight Swiss movement. The 20 mm lug width uses
female spring bars and we have a new pair installed along with a brand
new Hadley Roma genuine crocodile
MS822 brown strap. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 4xx mm long x 1xx mm thick.

auxiliary wind (will wind with crown) and we have put a new crystal on
too. The extra nice and colorful original dial is in superb shape and is
one of the best looking I have ever seen. It has an inner rotating bezel

23j Citizen "Bullhead" Automatic
Chronograph
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Although the dial is somewhat aged on this
cool chrono the steel case is really very nice showing little sign of
age. No nicks or scuffs at all. Even the Citizen bracelet is in great
shape and it is very large too fitting my 7 and 1/2 inch wrist with lots
of slack. Unlike many vintage Seiko chronographs this watch will wind
via the crown. The sub dial at three is a 30 minute counter while the
dial at 9 counts up to 12 hours. The chronograph seconds hand is in the
center and counts up to 60 seconds. It does miss coming straight up to
zero by about half a second. It is not especially noticeable to the
naked eye. A very cool watch in an unusual and collectible design. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 43 mm long x 13 mm thick.

Gorgeous Clinton Up/Down Chronograph
Description: GOOD condition.
Mesmerizing original silver, pink and cream dial with unusual up down
chrono counters.
The detail of the outside edge is amazing as three
different gauges are arranged out there. The tachymeter or fine
numbering in black from 400 to 60, clockwise is used to measure speed
traveling one mile (try it from mile marker to marker on the highway,
for instance if it takes you 55 seconds the hand will stop just left of
65 on the tachymeter which indicates that you averaged 65.5 mph in that
mile). Next, in pink are the numerals 1 thru 12 (km) with the 12 near
the top. This is a telemeter scale which is used to time distance
related to sound. For instance to time the distance of a bolt of
lightning from its furthest point, start the chronograph (button at 2)
when you see it strike and stop it (same button) when you hear the
thunder. Each division, 1-12 is 1 km with the miniscule marks between
the numbers representing 100 meters. So, if you hear the thunder 7
seconds after the bolt the distance will read 2 (km) and 500 meters or
just over a mile. Finally, a
black 0-60 graduation is for simple minute timing. Normal seconds at 6 with a 30 minute counter at 12. The
hand wound Venus (Swiss made) chronograph movement runs great but does
have some wash-out (the nickel finish is faded from servicing), see
close-up photos. The three piece case has a steel snap on back and
chrome plated middle body and bezel. The middle body has lost its
chrome. Flat pusher 1940's chronos are not very water or dust resistant. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Small Steel Croton Aquamatic, Early Waterproof
AS FOUND
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. I can't sell this watch for nuthin'.
What brought this on, you might say? Well, I have a lot of this type of
watch from two decades of collecting and the fact is that they don't get
much money, so I seldom list them. Way undervalued, probably because of
size. Tank watches are small and they seem to sell fairly well but this
is a much better watch. All steel, not gold filled like most tanks.
Water and dust proof design and it is an automatic. Early (1940's) shock
protected bumper wind. You can feel it bump up agin' its springs. Bought
from an old watchmaker who previously serviced the watch. Fantastic
unbuffed condition. Look at the back. Click on the image to the left for
close-up photos. Nearmint original dial with most of the old lum
(radium?) intact. Original hands. Acrylic crystal. The strap is a long
gray pigskin, well worn but original. We will be happy to include a nice

made with a very nice looking Croton hand wound shock protected
movement. Click on the image to the left for close-up photos. All
original with just over one carat of diamonds according to a jeweler
friend. He did say that the stones were modern cut opposed to mine cut
and slightly above average quality. The diamonds are 18 really small
ones in the solid 14k white gold bracelet plus 30 more on the large
fancy lugged 14k white gold head. 18 single cuts at about .015 cts, 10
at .03, 2 at .08 and two large ones at about .15 -.20 cts. Fairly modern
watch from the sixties or later in my opinion with a large bracelet,
acrylic crystal and in nearly unworn condition. Keeps good time. Measures 15 mm wide (not including the

Rare Early Cyma Swing Lug
Chronometer
Description:
GOOD condition. Chronometer grade watches are one step above
their counterparts in that the movement has been designed and regulated
to keep a tight standard of accuracy in positions and temperatures. We
are reminded that Rolex oyster watches are mostly all chronometers and
Omega Constellations with "officially certified" on the dial but we
don't often see chronometers by other makers or real early examples.
Three part chrome plated case is cylinder or barrel shaped with straight
sides and in good condition. The back is hinged. The dial is porcelain
and double sunk with awesome black Arabic numerals plus an Arabic 13-24
outer track. It has one faint hairline crack from the center pinion up
through the 12. Not even remotely visible to the naked eye and hard to
see with my 10X loupe. Original hands. Crown may have been replaced in
the 1950's. This watch has to be from the 1920's or earlier which makes
it pretty unusual. Small but made for a man back then. Either sex could
wear it now. We have a new open ended Hirsch strap attached but the lug
width is thin so it looks more like a ladies watch. Measures 26 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 33 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Easy to read Arabic numerals with 12 in red. Nickel case has a hinged

washout from many services/cleanings of the movement gives it a bit of a

Large Heavy Steel WWW
Broad Arrow Cyma
Description:
NEARMINT condition. This awesome British MoD (Ministry of

piece was completely serviced about a year ago by the previous owner. The dial is original
and despite some fading it is in superb condition and has its original
luminescent dots. The hands may be original or replacements but they are
the correct shape and certainly have been (if original) refilled with
new luminescent material. This design is known for heavy screw on
waterproof back, anti-magnetic dust cover for the robust hand wound
Swiss made Cyma movement, fixed spring bars and non-shattering acrylic
crystals. Many manufacturers supplied www watches to the MoD but most
were chrome plated cases with steel backs. Few, except the Cyma were
made entirely of steel. The difference is dramatic. Chrome plated cases
will not survive refurbishing or buffing of any kind and they have a
much shorter lifespan. The slotted back is fully marked and perfect.
This is a nickelled split 3/4 plate 15j movement with an uncut screw balance
containing an overcoil hairspring. A Bond style Nato strap is attached. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the

better with a stainless two-part screw
back. Highly water and dust resistant design from the early 1940's. Swiss
made "in-house" Cyma Caliber R420 (Cyma's first automatic movement) is a
pleasure to view having an early 114,214 serial number a pretty jewel
setting on the central hammer wind rotor, ruby bearings with chatons, a
two spoke Glucydur screw balance, self-compensating flat hairspring,
patented Cymaflex shock resistance, a center second and 18, 000 bph
(beats per hour). The original dial is a pleasure to look at with aged
luminescent triangles at 12,3,6 and 9 and dots at the gold indices. Yellowish
aged hands match perfectly and point with specific accuracy to the
correct minute and even the fifth minute mark which is precisely
detailed. This is a highly undervalued
vintage brand. This watch is extremely interesting and attractive on the

and despite some fading it is in superb condition and has its original
luminescent dots. The hands may be original or replacements but they are
the correct shape and certainly have been (if original) refilled with
new luminescent material. This design is known for heavy screw on
waterproof back, anti-magnetic dust cover for the robust hand wound
Swiss made Cyma movement, fixed spring bars and non-shattering acrylic
crystals. Many manufacturers supplied www watches to the MoD but most
were chrome plated cases with steel backs. Few, except the Cyma were
made entirely of steel. The difference is dramatic. Chrome plated cases
will not survive refurbishing or buffing of any kind and they have a
much shorter lifespan. The slotted back is fully marked and perfect.
Since the piece was serviced and probably has new seals I have not
opened it to observe or photograph the movement. Most likely it is a
nickelled split 3/4 plate 15j movement with an uncut screw balance
containing an overcoil hairspring. We have it attached to our popular
Hadley Roma cuff strap. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 46 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Outstanding 1930's Cyma Tank
Serviced
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. It is hard to find early examples of
wristwatches with this many virtues. The condition is top notch for the
age and shows only medium to mild use over the last 70 years. The white
gold filled case is hinged at the north end and has deeply embossed
bezel and sides. The tops of the small lugs are also engraved. Extra metal holds the movement
in place and adds extra
weight.
The dial is perfect and extremely pleasing to
look at. It has been professionally refinished as have the hands. Cyma was a company name under the Tavannes
umbrella of watch co. names. Founded in 1891 by Henri Sandoz (1851-1913)
after 20 yrs of success at the helm of his first company, Henri Sandoz
and Cie., the Tavannes Watch Co. was known for many patents and new
innovations including patents and contributions for repeaters (chiming
watches), pocket chronometers (highly accurate pocket watches), marine
chronometers (ships clocks), chronographs, extra thin movements,
hermetic (waterproof) cases, metal dials, parts of all kinds and even their own shock
protection devices. By the 1920's the Tavannes Watch Co., Tacy (short
for Tavannes and Cyma) Watch Co. and Cyma Watch Co. were
one of Switzerland's most productive and popular manufacturer's with
offices in nearly every overseas market. This watch has
been fully serviced, oiled and timed. It is keeping great
time and carrying a brand new 16 mm water resistant high grade Hirsch
black leather strap. Measures 21.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 8 mm thick.

Extra Fine 1943 Cyma
Bumper Wind Automatic
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Unbeknownst to most this is a fairly unique
and important brand and model in particular. These early waterproof
automatics are also found in steel and marked
"watersport" The popular Rolex "Oyster"
was proven a few years earlier in the late 30's. Large for the day with
a style and design ahead of its time. Unbuffed gold filled top 95% or
better with a stainless two-part screw
back. Highly water and dust resistant design from the early 1940's. Swiss
made "in-house" Cyma Caliber R420 (Cyma's first automatic movement) is a
pleasure to view having an early 114,214 serial number a pretty jewel
setting on the central hammer wind rotor, ruby bearings with chatons, a
two spoke Glucydur screw balance, self-compensating flat hairspring,
Patented Cymaflex shock resistance a center second and 18, 000 bph
(beats per hour). 98% original dial is a pleasure to look at with aged
luminescent triangles at 12,3,6 and 9 and dots at the gold indices. Yellowish
aged hands match perfectly and point with specific accuracy to the
correct minute and even the fifth minute mark which is highly detailed
and perfect on the dial. Photo shadows are deceptive, this dial is even
and nice. This is a highly undervalued
vintage brand. This watch is extremely interesting and attractive on the
wrist and has a nice new 18mm

Big Oversized Delbana Swiss Made Vintage
Chronograph
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. This attractive vintage piece has a two
piece middle body with a snap on bezel. It is gold plated and there is a
5 mm section of the bezel with missing or worn off gold plating. It can
be seen in the close-up photo. Click on the image to the left. The
original dial is outstanding and in mint condition. It is a 30 minute
chrono which means the big "second" hand counts 60 seconds while the
subsidiary bit at three counts up to 30 minutes. The sub dial at 9 is
the normal seconds counter which runs constantly.
With a good loupe one can see no flaws or sign of
age. The detail of the outside edge is amazing as three different gauges
are arranged out there. The tachymeter or fine numbering in black from
1000 to 60, clockwise is used to measure speed traveling one mile (try
it from mile marker to marker on the highway, for instance if it takes
you 55 seconds the hand will stop just left of 65 on the tachymeter
which indicates that you averaged 65.5 mph in that mile). Next, in red
are the numerals 1 thru 20 (km) with the 20 at the top. This is a
telemeter scale which is used to time distance related to sound. For
instance to time the distance of a bolt of lightning from its furthest
point, push the button at 2 when you see it strike and push the button
at 4 to stop when you hear the thunder. Each division, 1-20 is 1km with
the miniscule marks between the numbers representing 100 meters. So, if
you hear the thunder 7 seconds after the bolt the distance will read 2
(km) and 500 meters or just over a mile. Finally, a
black 0-60 graduation is for simple minute timing.
The Swiss made Landeron Caliber 48 movement is in perfect running
condition and keeps excellent time.
A brand new

WW II German Military Issue Dogma
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. The case of this watch is really perfect
with no damage or wear at all. It might have been reconditioned in the
past. The dial is original and the hands are missing the luminescent
material. The shock protected hand wound A. Schild Caliber 1130 hand wound movement is perfect,
correct for the era and
signed Dogma on the winding wheel. The screw on back of this watch has
Stahlboden which means steel back and the correct D plus military serial
number. D stands for Dienstuhr which means Servicewatch. Most German
military watches have both the D and H for Heer which is German Army.
Some speculate that the watches only marked with a D were for the
Luftwaffe. It is unusual to find this type with only the D marking (ref.

Sweet Black Dial Doxa 330T Sharkhunter Sub
Serviced
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. For about three years now our customers have
been asking for Doxa Subs but the prices have gone up so fast it has
been hard to find one in good condition for under a grand (at the
wholesale level). So, testing the market with this extra fine example.
The Doxa sub or shark hunter dive watch was popularized by Dirk Pitt
adventure writer, Clive Cussler in his novels after he (Clive) was given
his first Doxa diver in 1969. He had been working in a dive shop while
finishing his first book and was moving on, thus presented with a going
away gift. He then honored the watch by including it in his Dirk Pitt
stories. Notable for super thick and heavy steel screw back cases, screw
down crowns. luminescent tritium indices and a uni-directional diving
table bezel this example is in fine condition with the original finish,
dial and hands. It also keeps chronometer grade time having been timed
on our timing machine and wound, set and worn in various positions and
serviced by Jack at IWW while in the previous owners possession. Not
signed by the US distributor US Divers Co. on the dial (see
this model we sold three years ago) and with the metric version of
the depth table bezel tells me this could have been a military watch or
sold original in Europe. The sailboat insignia on the back dates to 1968
or earlier according to Doxa representatives. The strap is a generic
rubber but you may choose any strap you like with a $50 credit towards
that purchase (if over that amount). Measures 43 mm wide (not
including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick.

probably 60 years plus in age. All steel with clear unworn markings on
the screw on back and the original finish/sand marks. Marked
anti-magnetic and waterproof with stamped reference number between the
holed lugs like Rolex does and nice clean edges although there are light
scuffs. Nice original radium dial and original hands. Hand wound with an
easy to grip crown. The acrylic crystal has bunches of little nicks
which we should've buffed out before photography but we'll add a new
crystal, or Wayne the watchmaker will for about $15 if you like. It will
improve the aesthetics considerably. Priced quite low for any good
vintage watch. Remember, all steel is much better than chrome plated
models and harder to find in old watches. Doxa is a good Swiss brand
also. Red center second is nice too. A brand new black DeBeer Paris
sport leather strap is attached and matches well. This is also a good
candidate for a smaller wrist or a lady collector. Measures 28.5 mm wide (not including the

the 1930's. It is small (note the dimensions) but was made for a man
even though either sex could wear this piece. Formed case watches from
the 30's are rare as steel is difficult to work in this fashion. Don't

Description: A fine watch in a medium

Certainly the watch is from an era when watches in general were much
smaller than now. Probably late 1930's from the design. Fully signed 17
jewel Swiss made hand wound movement features an indirect center seconds
and a two spoke screwed balance. According to the timing machine the

with gold content, made in Switzerland etc. It is in good condition with
a small ding in the back but overall ranks about 85%. Also it has a

although the chrome plated middle body shows some age. The original
black dial has a few oil spots and the original painted hands are still
in good shape. Air force specs called for painted hands during the war
because they thought it was less likely paint would come off opposed to
luminescent filled hands which could deteriorate and get into the

Title:
Rare American Made 27j Elgin Automatic
Mechanic's Special
Description: This is the only wrist watch
known to say American Made on the dial. It is one of two
American automatics made. We get pretty good money for them in working
condition. This watch does work but our watchmaker says it needs the
rotor tightened or replaced. This movement (Caliber 761) features a Durapower
mainspring and incorporates Elgin's
patented Durabalance system which is a free-sprung balance. A
free-sprung balance does not use the conventional regulator pins found
in most mechanical movements. Instead, the spiral arms of the balance
carry two weights, held in place by a spring (see a close-up photo by
clicking on the image to the left). If the spring is moved, it
will cause the weights to follow the spiral arms and move in towards the
hub (loss of moment) or out towards the rim (gain). This is a much
better system than the old style regulator. Patek Philippe uses a
similar method in their Gyromax balance. No refunds on Mechanic's
specials. Nice dial. Original unsigned crown. All steel construction
with a screw back. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick.

Title:
Unique Elgin GMT w/World Time Bezel on
Back
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. This unusual Swiss made automatic timepiece
was made in the 60's and has a unique and well made rotating bezel on
the back for world times. Some of the color has worn off of it but in 15
years of collecting, buying and selling this is the only Eglin GMT World
Timer that I have ever seen. Can't find another on the net either
although I am sure Elgin made more than one. Runs fine and is in very
good condition with no major signs of wear. The steel case (all of it)
is almost nearmint. Never buffed but with faint scuffs. The GMT hand is
fixed to 24hr time. In other words, if the bezel is set properly (put
the dash between 24 and 1 at noon) you will read the time as
military. As seen the watch shows 10 am or 10 hundred plus 10. Moving
the hands around by 12 hours to 10 pm would place the gmt hand at 22
hundred. Attached to a
nice Bund style strap. Pick something else if it is not to your taste. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 46 mm long x 12 mm thick.

WW I Elgin Trench Watch
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Sweet old time piece from many years ago.
Dating to 1917 (the year we declared war on Germany) this unusual small
gentleman's wrist watch could have easily been a fighting mans watch.
The long tube the crown fits over is slightly more water and dust
resistant then short ones. The three part Nickel silver case is in
decent shape, has a snap on back and bezel. Fits on the wrist like
driver's watches from a later era, this type of watch might have been
often worn on the inside of the wrist for more protection from crystal
breakage or had a protective grill attached. As it was the original
glass crystal has many scratches and clouds the view of the awesome
original dial. The numerals could very well be radium and they are
almost entirely intact. Original hands are also well preserved. The
single sunk (subsidiary seconds bit) porcelain dial has a small brown
spot or stain above the center pinion where the hands attach and one
small hairline crack. The hand wound Elgin movement is American made and
runs great with a 50 hour mainspring according to our watchmaker who
checked this watch out for any problems. A brand new DeBeer Paris wire
lug black
leather strap is attached. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 35 mm long x 9 mm thick.

Beautiful 10k Solid Gold Lord Elgin
30 Jewel Automatic
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. American made 30 jewel automatic (rare).
The Elgin Caliber 760 has 6 adjustments and is known for several innovations
It features a Durapower mainspring and incorporates Elgin's patented
Durabalance system which is a free-sprung balance. A free-sprung balance
does not use the conventional regulator pins or balance screws found in
most mechanical movements. Instead, the spiral arms of the balance carry
two weights, held in place by a spring (click
here for a close up photo in another model we sold recently). If
the spring is moved, it will cause the weights to follow the spiral arms
and move in towards the hub (loss of moment) or out towards the rim
(gain). This is a much better system than the old style regulator. Patek
Philippe uses a similar method in their Gyromax balance. These rare
movements also feature a two gear winding system, switching to a lower
gear as the watch is more tightly wound. In addition, most jewels in
watches past 23 are redundant or serve no purpose but the additional
jewels in this movement are put to use in the innovative non-sprung
bi-directional rotor.
It is unique to the Caliber 760 and 761 along with several other
patented proprietary inventions. Solid, fairly heavy slotted screw back construction but not too thick
overall.
Beautiful mint original dial, nearmint all original solid 10k gold case
and has been gone through, cleaned up and checked out thoroughly by our
watchmaker. A new Hadley Roma strap is included. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 9 mm thick.

style but it is quite a bit later when men's arms were growing. By
1959-60 we were using shock protection on every movement so it is no
surprise to see it on this style by now. The original dial is very nice
with fewer noticeable flaws than appear in the close-up photos. Click on
the image to the left for more. There is a nicely done engraving on the
back. Two piece form watch with no major damage or wear. An acrylic
crystal which is probably a replacement helps keep the American made
Elgin Caliber 730 23j hand wound movement clean and dry. Measures 23 mm wide (not including the
