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.

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.

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

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.

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

kind of layer. The gold filled top is in great shape but does have faint

down when your hand is at the 10 o'clock station on your wheel. Runs
fine and has the original crown. All hinges and lids and bezels snap

Title:
Very Cool E. Borel and Co. w/Awesome Dial
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. I think this old timekeeper is 1940s or so.
We don't see them very often with center seconds or in this nice
condition. Original gray dial did not photograph easily or well and
looks really nice in person. It is perfect really and I enjoy just
staring at it from time to time. The large (for the era) three piece
case is chrome plated with a steel back. It too is almost perfect. The
cool hand wound Swiss movement shows a bit more age but runs great and
has a unique hand engraving on it. Probably from a retailer who sold
these watches at their store. All in all this is one of my favorite New
Listings and I have kept it for a few months. Nice new old stock and
well made Champion hand finished Scandia calf leather strap is perfect
too. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 44 mm long x 11 mm thick.

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
crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick.
