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. {1275} Item #5053 SOLD

Title: 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. {$525} Item #4928 SOLD

Title: Large Solid Gold Bulova Accutron AS FOUND

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice watch, very large circa 1968. Beautiful original dial and hands. Both mint, dial and hands. Signed gold crown. Needs some adjustment, service or repair as our watchmaker does not work on Accutrons much but has installed new batteries. It runs great, just real fast. This is the original box and the watch hails from the son of the original owner. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$299} Item #4809 SOLD

Title: New Old Stock Stainless Steel Bulova Accutron Astronaut w/Box and Signed Bracelet

Title: Cool "Bow Tie" Bulova Accutron in Steel

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Absolutely one of the most attractive Accutrons I have seen with this extra nice (refinished) white dial, Roman numerals and unusual extra clean steel case.

Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$149} Item #3696 SOLD TO QY

Title: Bulova Accutron Spaceview

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Gold filled top with a steel back. Nice piece with hard to find signed gold filled Accutron bracelet. Runs fine and has a new Accucell battery. Probably a conversion as this was often done at the jewelers (Bulova watch store) with the correct conversion Accutron crystal. These watches (Accutrons) have high pitched tuning forks, seen at the six in this skelitonized "Spaceview". Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$399} {$329} Item #4482 SOLD

Title: Nice Steel 1976 Bulova Railroad Approved Accutron

Description:  A very slick collectors piece in excellent condition. Tuning fork movement (218/crown on side) runs like a champ and the case condition is almost mint from original. What I mean is that it has never been buffed or even worn much from what I can see. One long scratch on the back and a ding on the edge of the signed crown. All original finish. Original slightly used black Accutron signed leather strap. No signed buckle.  Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$275} Item #SF04 SOLD JD

Title: 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. {$149} Item #3797 SOLD TO TG

Title: Nice Steel 1966 Bulova Railroad Approved Accutron

A brand new black leather strap is attached. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) 41 mm long 13 mm thick. {$269} Item #4269 SOLD TO RT

Title: 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. {$229} Item #4170 SOLD GG

Title: Heavy Asymmetrical 14k Bulova Accutron

A very early tuning fork watch in rare condition. A brand new Hadley Roma 835 Alligator Grain strap is attached. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x  mm thick. {$725} {$575} Item #3690 SOLD HS

Title: Beautiful Hard To Find Dr's "Pulsations" Accutron

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 Hadley Roma 835 gator tail strap and a new gold tone deployant clasp. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$375} Item #3857 SOLD WJW

Title: Ladies Gold and Diamond Angelus

Description: NEARMINT condition. Made in the 50's or 60's this nice Swiss watch has 14 fairly large (for a ladies watch) clean white diamonds. 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 about 6 and 1/4 inches long so a wrist of about 5 and 1/2 to 5 and 3/4 inches will fit. Measures 15 mm wide (not including the crown) x 17 mm long x 7 mm thick. {$425} Item #3661 SOLD BB

Title: Nice YGF Round Ball Trainmaster Automatic

Click on the image to the left for close-up photos. A brand new black leather strap with a gold plate over steel buckle is attached. A wee bit of paint is missing on the top of the dial. Not very noticeable with the naked eye. Notice the inner dust cover which also helps magnetism and the hack set, shock protected, 21 jewel adjusted movement. It is running great and keeping time. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$425} Item #4963 SOLD

Title: Ball "Trainmaster" 25j Automatic Serviced

Description: GOOD condition. Hard to find 1960's Swiss made timepiece. Solid steel with a screw on back. The original painted dial with easy to read Arabic numerals in black does have a spot of discoloration between the 8 and 9. Adjusted to five positions and shock protected Ball movement (ETA 2821 base caliber) has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. A brand new black Hadley Roma oil tan strap with steel buckle is attached. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$475} Item #4763 SOLD

One of the most legible if not the most legible vintage timepieces on the market. A brand new Hadley Roma 881 oil tan strap with a matching stainless steel buckle is attached. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$575} Item #4615 SOLD

Title: 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. {$675} Item #4464 TRADED

The lightweight bi-directional non-ratcheted painted metal bezel does have some scratches at 52 min mark. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$199} Item #4425 SOLD

Title: Big Steel Baylor Automatic 200 Meter Vintage Diver

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a nice heavy duty diver with a 600 foot rating according to the back. Cool deep emblem of a speedboat too. But, what I like is the mint original black dial and the inner rotating bezel for timing dives. Signed crowns. Automatic high grade Swiss movement is a high beat and shows little to no error on the timing machine. It is keeping better than chronometer grade time. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$219} Item #3594 SOLD

Title: Cool Orange and Black Baylor Diver

Description: NEARMINT condition.  Almost new old stock with only two tool marks or scrapes on the back. Otherwise unused. Steel back, chrome plated main body. Bi-directional rotating timing bezel. Old style quick set (midnight back to nine, then past midnight again) date. Perfect dial is really attractive with orange markers and red second tip. Hand wound Swiss made watch from the sixties with a brand new Hadley Roma black and  orange sport strap. Acrylic crystal.

Title: Cool Benrus Star Dial Automatic w/Box

Description: EXCELLENT condition. I have never seen this model before. I doubt it is especially rare but it is pretty neat. One piece case is bowl shaped with no removable back. It is yellow gold filled and in great shape. The original dial has spots all over it but they really look cool. Looks just like the Longines "starry sky" dials. Original or period strap is perfect and the box too except it is missing the insert. All found together at an estate.

Description: GOOD condition. This two part case has a water and dust proof steel main body and a chrome plated base metal bezel and lugs. That part of it is fairly worn as you can see in the photos. Click on the image to the left for close ups. These neat Swiss made watches have 17 jewel shock protected hand wound movements and were fairly inexpensive. Today the market has shown an appreciation for any Swiss watch with a unique perspective (digitals, world timers, gmts, chronographs, triple dates, moon phases and other complications). Tells time through hours, minutes and seconds in that order from top to bottom. Of course, the seconds "hand" is the gold star which turns as seconds elapse. A brand new Hadley Roma black leather strap with a stainless steel buckle is attached. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$275} Item #4777 SOLD

Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$99} Item #4685 SOLD

Title: One of a Kind Sterling Silver Benrus w/Pierced Shield

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This is not a watch you will ever see again. It was hand made by an American artisan from an original sterling silver Benrus timepiece. The pierced shield portion of this watch has been added expertly to the case. The jewelers' level of skill is incredible and I have been told that he refuses to attempt this design again. The labor involved rules out a second effort. Hand wound Swiss made Benrus signed movement and signed sterling silver case. Nice black Benrus dial. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$425} Item #3820 SOLD DM

Title: Benrus Day Date w/Pointer

Description: EXCELLENT condition. These are very cool watches and still a super investment. Complicated timepieces are hard to find and usually much more expensive. The dial is extra nice and probably was refinished although most might assume it is original as it has "swiss" on the bottom and the text and fine detail were exceptionally well done. The outside day of the month section is a thicker cream kind of layer. The gold filled top is in great shape but does have faint scuffs. Excellent look overall and in perfect running condition and may have the original bracelet. The third hand with the red tipped pointer is quickly changed with a push of the crown. A nice new Hirsch water resistant leather strap can be added for a small fee. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$199} Item #3888 SOLD CN

Excellent look overall and runs great. The third hand with the red tipped pointer is quickly changed with a push of the crown. A nice new Hirsch water resistant leather strap is attached.

Original Benrus signed deluxe alligator strap and a Benrus box which may no be original as the watch does not seem to fit exactly.  Measures 33 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$265} Item #3625 SOLD LVC

Title: Extremely Rare Benrus Type II Military Issue

Description: EXCELLENT condition. The Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams morphed into what we call Navy SEALS, or teams capable of insertion by Sea, Air or Land, hence the acronym. This monster of a watch fits the requirements of military specification MIL-W-50717. Automatic movements which never need winding (while worn), rotating bezel for timing air and decompression on dives, water resistance to 165 feet (these watches actually rate and test to 495 feet), easily visible dials and hands and extreme toughness. These steel watches are one piece with heavy, thick construction and screw down crowns. Mint original dial. Nearmint to Mint bezel and Excellent case. Some nicks on the edges of the case.

Title: Beautiful 14k "Black's" Drivers Wire Lug

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Rare watch from way back in time (made in about 1915-18) with a nice but chipped porcelain dial. and a solid 14k gold case including the cuvette or dust cover. We rarely see solid gold wire lug watches in any condition and this is pretty sharp for the age. High grade Swiss made movement and special sideways design add value. The style is a drivers as the watch reads more or less straight up and 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 into place perfectly. Many sites would charge two or three times this amount for a unique piece such as this. Also note that center seconds are unusual for early watches like this. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$369} {$269} SALE Item #4561 SOLD

Title: NEARMINT Vintage Blancpain Aqua Lung

Description: Superb condition. Mint dial. Mint hands. Near mint case and bezel. The Blancpain, Rayville S.A. automatic movement runs great. It has a special symbol on the bottom of the dial which, I believe, is telling the owner that the tritium levels(25 mc or milliecurie) are with-in the industry standards for safety. No Radiations sign on the dial. Runs perfectly, keeping superb time. One of the most desirable vintage dive watches ever manufactured.  Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$2345} Item #HC1 SOLD

Title: New Old Stock Ernest Borel Chronometer

Description: NEARMINT condition. We see many Omega and Rolex chronometer grade watches (tested for exceptional timekeeping standards in Switzerland) but other brands have been hard to find for some time now. Not many were able to compete with the two companies and so supply is limited. This is a one piece, bowl shaped steel case and has a mint original dial and nice looking 25j E. Borel (ETA base caliber) full rotor automatic movement. Also comes with its original strap, signed buckle and box. Rare as a chronometer and rare in this condition.

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. {$219} Item #4586 SOLD

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.
