Title:
Rare 48' Hamilton Piping Rock
Serviced
Description: EXCELLENT condition. This watch is a hair short of new old stock condition. Purchased from an estate and having one good sized scratch on the back and a deep gouge on the side but with the original brushed finish on the sides and very sharp edges (shows little to no buffing over the years which rounds the edges and can make the hinges loose). The 1948 version is two times the watch that the 28 Piping Rock is. Extremely heavy and thick with super tight construction and very tight hinged lugs. This later version also has a thick bowl shaped one piece case rather than the usual snap on back. Enamel bezel is perfect and original. Dial is original but with some light age. We can refinish if you like at no extra cost but it will be awhile to get that done. This has about 20 grams of gold which is a lot for a vintage piece. It also carries a Hamilton 747 American movement which was one of their best. Case #S644435. Serial #Y26481. Completely gone over by Wayne and in superb condition, almost like new. In my opinion this is the finest American made wristwatch ever produced, prior to 1969 when the last company died. Installed is one of the finest American Alligator straps we carry, a DeBeer Paris turned edge hand made in black with a $160 retail value. Comes with a one year service guarantee. If it ever needs service, I'll do it for free. Also comes with a period Hamilton Bakelite box in perfect condition, a $75 value. Measures 28.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$2195} Item #5892 SOLD |

Title:
Beautiful 10k Solid Gold Hamilton Masterpiece Thin-o-matic Description: EXCELLENT condition. Solid yellow gold with a nicely done inscription on the back. All one piece. No screw on or snap on back, or bezel. Drop the movement in through the front, install the crystal, stem and crown and your done. Once worn with a bracelet and we can see four tiny bracelet end piece marks on the inside of the lugs. Otherwise, like new. Original silvered dial with solid gold markers. Fully self winding Hamilton Caliber 623 automatic movement has been completely checked out by Wayne the watchmaker and regulated. Signed Hamilton crown. New Hadley Roma strap. Measures 33.8 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$235} Item #5907 SOLD |

Title:
Good Sized SS Hamilton Automatic
AS FOUND Description: VERYGOOD condition. Swiss made with a nice ETA automatic movement, original tritium silvered dial, faceted acrylic crystal, screw on waterproof back and signed crown. From my cabinets of old stock saved for many years this steel case does have lots of nicks and scratches but runs great, keeping good time. At this price point we simply can't afford to put $75 into a $100 watch for service so I rarely sell them in this price range as they have to be running properly with no problems. The red second hand is cool. A nice new lizard skin strap is attached. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$109} Item #5731 SOLD |

Title: Hard to Find Hamilton Pan Europe Serviced Description: EXCELLENT condition. These are pretty rare watches made at the end of the mechanical watch peak and very thick with a lot of nice touches to the design. Cool Pegasus on the back with a reference #64058-3. Water proof at the time and anti-magnetic and shock resistant. Signed, slightly recessed crown is original also. Super sweet original blue and white dial. The finish of the case is marred with light scuffs and scratches but this type of watch is difficult to refurbish with that deep radial brushed bezel and sides. Also has the original crystal which Harlan the watchmaker has buffed up a bit to remove scuffs. He has also fully serviced, oiled and timed the high grade automatic movement. Made in the 1960's this was probably worn a few years and then put away. It came out of an estate years ago and I've just gotten it out and had it serviced. A slightly used Caiman croc strap is on it because of the nice color and how it matches but call if you want something else. This is a Swiss made vintage automatic. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$329} Item #5900 SOLD |

Title: Beautiful 14k
Yellow Gold Hamilton Keith
Serviced
Description: NEARMINT condition. Property of a meticulous collector. I am calling this near mint even though the silvered dial has been refinished. It is a good job, has 18k solid gold Arabic applied numerals and the rest of the watch is just gorgeous overall. Original and perfect slightly domed glass crystal, near mint solid gold case and immaculate, recently serviced 19j Hamilton Masterpiece Caliber 982. Click on the image to the left for more photos. A new DeBeer turned edge genuine crocodile strap with a gold plated deployant buckle is attached. It comes in the correct Bakelite Hamilton box for this model although the insert is missing. The boxes are $50-$75 when you can find them. Great timekeeper and one of the best American made hand wind ever produced. The gorgeous movement rivals Swiss high end stuff in my opinion. Measures 21 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34.5 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$775} Item #5830 SOLD |

Title:
Really Sharp WGF Hamilton w/Awesome Original Dial
Serviced Description: VERYGOOD condition. 1930's gold filled watches without a lot of wear are really hard to find. This one is not like new but as you can see, the dial is really sharp with all of the old lum still intact on the Arabic numerals. We have replaced the hands so they are not original (would another dealer disclose this info?) and the crown is newer also. Thin glass crystal is perfect. Case is type not water or dust resistant with its snap on back but is in pretty darn good condition and has the original black background on the deeply engraved sides. This is a fairly large watch for the genre or even for any square or tank style vintage wrist watch. Large vintage watches are kind of rare. The American made Hamilton Cal. 987-E 17 jewel movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne and keeps good time. A brand new dark brown Hadley Roma leather strap is attached. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$300} Item #5476 SOLD |

Title:
Rare Coral 19j Hamilton Ross, Circa late 1930's
Serviced Description: GOOD condition. Very hard to find watch with its original glass crystal, dial, case and movement. We have added a new, easy to grip pink crown which matches very well. Only rated good because of the aged original dial, aged original hands and scuffed original glass crystal. Mostly though because of the case which has quite a bit of wear on the bottom corners. The beautiful high grade American made Hamilton Caliber 982 runs great and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 10 mm thick. {239} Item #5188 SOLD |

Title:
Nice Hamilton w/Original Glass Crystal and Period Strap
Mechanic's Special Description: GOOD condition. Nice old watch in its original condition. Faded silver dial with solid gold numerals and makers. Beautiful American made Hamilton Caliber 752 runs great and keeps good time. It needs a little tweak to stop rattling in the case and maybe a dial refinish and the crystal is scratched too. I believe this is the "Austin". About 1950. Original old pig skin strap is real nice. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$69} Item #5025 SOLD |

Title:
Extra Nice Large 1930's Hamilton Gladstone
Serviced Description: EXCELLENT condition. One of my favorite vintage watches of all time simply because of size. Most watches with rectangular or tank shapes are much smaller. And the older they are the more likely it is that the size will be small. Our bodies and our wrists were smaller on average back then. Hunger stunts growth and conversely the abundance of food stimulates it. So, this type or shape of watch in this size is rare. Finding one in really nice condition is rare also. This piece is white gold filled with a snap back and snap on bezel. The dial has been refinished and one if the best jobs I've seen. Our watchmaker found new old stock hands which match the color of the numbers perfectly. He also fully serviced, oiled and timed the Caliber 987F hand wound American made movement and that comes with a one year service warranty. There is an inscription on the back which brings me to the final point/s of interest. It is dated 1930 and according to most literature and "common knowledge" this model was not introduced until 1931. A real mystery, eh? In truth, our base of knowledge is limited when it comes to exact dates or "facts". Serial number dating and other bits of info written in books can be used for general purposes and are not expected to be 100% factual. The correct 987F movement inside has a 4.180 million serial number which according to serial number dates from books makes this a movement from 1940. Could be that it was replaced 10 years after the watch was given as a gift or there could be some other explanation. Just some watch food/trivia for thought. The black lizard strap is signed Hamilton and most likely comes from a modern Hamilton time piece. We purchased this watch from a collector with the strap attached. Measures 27 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$425} Item #5292 SOLD |

Title:
New Old Stock Hamilton Military Ca. 1972
Description: MINT condition. Property of a collector. Solid one piece parkerized steel which was waterproof to 30ft with a tritium luminescent dial and shock protected, anti-magnetic hand wound Hamilton for military use during the Vietnam war. Acrylic crystal and original box including the packing material. Runs great and still lights up very well. New old stock, mint condition watches with original packaging are the most desirable by far. Don't under estimate their value and potential in the market. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$425} Item #3612 SOLD |

Hard to Find Late 1930's 14k Gold Hamilton Cameron

The high grade 987-F hand wound movement is in great shape. Check it out on the close up page. Click on the image to the left. The original dial (made of silver) looks a lot worse in this close up photo than in person.

Title:
Very Nice Hamilton Automatic Date Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is one of the nicest vintage affordable automatics we have had recently. It is very attractive with an original silvered dial, gold plated middle body and sturdy slotted screw on back. If you look closely you can see a faint mark or scratch near the 8, otherwise it is mint. Swiss made automatic movement keeps good time but no photo as the nice back is on very tight and I don't want to risk scratching it. Old style quick set works by moving the hour hand past midnight then back past nine and repeat. Looks really sharp in person. For some reason the photos just look OK. A nice new Hadley Roma genuine lizard skin 16 mm strap is attached, a $25 value. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$145} Item #5273 SOLD |

Hand wound with a Swiss made Caliber 637 movement which has been gone through by our watchmaker and keeps great time. Signed crown is easy to grip. Nice presentation on the back dated 1970. Nearmint original dial. Very thin dress watch almost 40 years old but looking new. A nice black Hadley Roma strap is installed. It is new. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$290} Item #5225 SOLD |

Title:
Excellent 22 Jewel Hamilton Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. Not sure which model this is but it looks like a "Wilson" except it has 22 jewels instead of 17 which the "book" has it as. Maybe someone will keep me straight with an e-mail. Really nice unbuffed condition. No wear through of the yellow gold filled case but it does have scuffs and one tiny ding on the side opposite the signed Hamilton crown. I like this watch more than the average Hamilton tank because of the larger size and magnificent shock protected, adjusted high grade movement. Take a look by clicking on the image to the left. By this time (mid to late 1950's) Hamilton was at the top of it's game producing finely finished movements lasting for decades if not centuries. Too bad they are no more (American made movements). This watch has its original glass crystal, sterling silver dial and 14k gold markers. The dial is perfect. The crystal has a couple of tiny nicks around the 11 and 12 area. A brand new Hadley Roma padded oil tan strap in attached. Measures 27 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$165} Item #5052 SOLD |

Title:
Very Rare Long Curved 1930's Hamilton Linwood Description: GOOD condition. Hard to find and because of the extreme shape nearly impossible to find without wear on the back corners. I would not be shy about asking double if ours was without wear. Good deal of it seen on the back edges of the long elegant curved and step sided yellow gold filled case. Domed and curved dial is sterling silver and has solid 18k gold markers (most Hamilton's have a silver dial with gold markers). It is real sweet and has a star at 6. The crystal has some crazing and there is an inscription on the back. Mint condition original era pig skin strap could be original as these are thin lug widths and hard to find. The old buckle is not signed and I can't read the strap signature. Runs great with Hamilton's sturdy 17j Caliber 980 hand wound American made movement. Measures 22 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$325} Item #4987 SOLD |

The Hamilton signed Caliber 640 (Valjoux 7736) keeps good time and times perfectly with its 60 second center hand, 30 minute register at three and 12 hour counter at six. Some funny dings on the original signed crown and one pusher. See photo close-ups. Light scuffs and nicks. A nice new 19 mm Rios Sport strap is included.

Title:
Yellow GF Hamilton Ashley Description: VERYGOOD condition. Our close-up photo of the front of this watch (click on the image to the left) is way too close as you really can't see the tarnish in person which shows up more pronounced in the photos. Looks nearmint easily in person. It has been re-finished though (the dial). Some wear on the back, see photos. Restored by a friend and old timer watchmaker. Signed crown and 19j American made Hamilton 982 movement. Hamilton watch dials are made of silver and the numerals are gold. A great starter watch or fun dress watch. Keep in mind that form watches are not water or dust resistant. A brand new Hadley Roma oil tan strap is included.

Checked over and cleaned (superficially) by our watchmaker. It has the original glass crystal which is not seen often. It does have scratches on it. Original dial is perfect. You have to see it in person to appreciate it. The CLD under Hamilton stands for "sealed against dust and moisture". Original crown and perfect 18j Caliber 748 hand wound American made movement. This is much more water resistant than tank watches as it has a bowl shaped case with no removable back. A brand new Hadley Roma brown leather strap is included.

Measures 33 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$165} Item #4910 SOLD |

Aged dial is silver (made of silver, typical of many Hammy dials) with gold markers. Gold filled case is nice and "glom'ed" shut from years of never being opened. This is a nice natural water and dust proof condition. Formed case watches are not airtight, mostly from the stem area. Excellent case condition, almost nearmint upon further examination. Original crown and glass crystal (somewhat rare). Pigskin strap is exactly the kind of strap used/sold with the watch and appears to be unmarked but the buckle is signed. Probably contains Hamilton's 19j Caliber 982 (typical for this model). It runs good and according to our timing machine is about 15-30 seconds slow per 24hrs.

Title: Big Automatic Hamilton Dive Watch Description: GOOD condition. In 15 years of collecting I have not seen one Hamilton like this. It is heavy steel with a screw down crown. The bakelite bezel has nicks and one crack which is at 47 minutes. The case has not been buffed and appears to have been used by a working diver. The one piece nylon strap is well worn and molded to the watch as if it was used quite a bit. The dial has in part been refinished and maybe in whole. The red indices are exaggerated and very bright as are the hands. This has an automatic (probably ETA) movement with a quick set day and date. The heavy screw back says tested to 10 atms or 330 feet and it is marked Hamilton. It is running fine and keeping good time. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$675} Item #4147 SOLD |

Title: Extra Nice Vintage Hamilton Cranston w/Box and Paper Serviced Description: NEARMINT condition. Nearly unworn and having not been buffed this easily qualifies as nearmint.

White with cool fancy lugs holding one small diamond each and a short but very nice vintage white gold bracelet which has eight fairly nice diamonds.

Pink unsigned crown. The dial has 15 diamonds and looks original but it may have been refinished some time ago as it shows age and rates about 85%. Original hands including the white subsidiary seconds hand which may have been done for a doctor to easily read a patients pulse. The 17j American made Hamilton 980 Cal hand wound movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. This are popular vintage watches purchased by the elite during the 40's and they are still one of the most collectible American wristwatches of the period.

Title: Rare and Desirable Ladies Platinum and Diamond Hamilton Description: Well, maybe not so rare but collectors quickly grab up platinum watches these days, even ladies models. Certainly much more expensive in its day (1940's) than now. Discounted heavily because of a dented back. Overall the condition is 80% or so with most of the deduction taken because of the perfectly fitted, dented back. Fully signed with 48 diamonds. Original black cord strap with signed/marked 14k white gold clasp (I've never seen a cord strap with gold attachments). Slightly scuffed original glass crystal. This piece is a large size for a ladies watch and looks great on the wrist. The integrity of the case has not been compromised with the dents/damage on the back.

Caliber 64 Swiss made automatic movement works fine and has been checked out and regulated by the watchmaker. The original dial is nice and the large steel case is neat too. It is one piece with a removable bezel only. The reflector ring inside the crystal is slightly dislodged and needs adjustment or replacing or you can just wear it as is since it is not all that noticeable. You can see it in the pic over by the three. Signed crown. Great watch for the money! Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$99} Item #SCH474-6627 SOLD JH |

Title: Rare Hamilton Canteen or Bu-Ships Military Issue Waterproof Antique Description: EXCELLENT condition. One of the rarest vintage military watches ever made. Issue watches were supposed to be turned in after duty so few survived for collectors. The condition is good and there are no scratches on the 10-sided hex back. It screws in place and I have not opened it for movement info for fear of a scuff. It should have a hack set Caliber 987S according to Ziggy (Z.M. Wesolowski, A Concise Guide To Military Timepieces). This watch does hack and is keeping excellent time, showing less than 20 seconds error per day according to the timing machine. Hamilton was the first manufacturer to supply a diver’s watch to our Naval Combat Demolition Teams in the early 1940's. They worked with the Navy's construction battalions or Sea Bees clearing beach approaches of mines and other obstacles. These teams were later re-named Underwater Demolition Teams or UDTs. Hamilton developed this special watch with a cap, which screws down over the winding stem and a thick glass crystal, which is soldered into place. You can still see the solder on this crystal by clicking on the picture to the left where the close up photos are. The dial is in perfect condition and after close examination may be refinished. I believe the hands are original. The dark black Hamilton signature is characteristic of a frogman watch (same as the Elgin model) and can be seen in the right light just under the center pinion. It is keeping very good time and is on a modern period canvas strap like those from the era. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$1475} Item #4159 SOLD TO PZ |

Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 49 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$399} Item #4310 SOLD TO SF |

Title:
Really Nice Old Dueber Hampden Wrist Watch
Description: VERYGOOD condition. Watches like this are pretty hard to find in real nice condition because they just wore out. Made in three parts, a steel snap on back, base metal middle body and snap on bezel. Perfect original dial and little age seen on the case. Mid-grade No. 400 Hampden American made movement even keeps good time especially for its age. 1930's or older. The serial number of the movement dates to about 1918 but it may have been re-cased as a wrist watch in the late 20's or early 30's. Original crown and thin glass crystal. Pretty big compared to other watches from the time period measuring 29 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 9 mm thick. PS. Many of those high priced websites would ask double, triple or more for this cool old time piece. {$165} Item #5276 SOLD |

Title:
Cool Helbros Screw Back Tank Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. Affordable waterproof (at the time) and shock protected tank shaped vintage wrist watch with a super attractive dial. It has been refinished but not by us and not recently in my opinion. Looks pretty sharp but originally would have had lum in the Arabic numerals. Good hands. Some wear on the lugs of the gold plated case with steel back which is held in place with screws. The lines you see on the back of the lugs are part of the formed case manufacturing process. Runs fine and a bit unique with a very nice new Hadley Roma strap with a gold plated over steel buckle. Measures 23.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$95} Item #5271 SOLD |

Title: Nearmint SS Black Dial 2 Reg. Helbros Chronograph Description: NEARMINT condition. One of the nicest versions of this genre I have seen recently. Most often this type (1940's flat pusher snap back chronograph) is found in gold plate or chrome plated base metal. This watch is all steel and formerly new old stock condition. I am calling it nearmint because of some faint scuffs on the back and a couple of nicks, one on the bezel at 10. All original including the box. The shiny Swiss made Helbros Caliber 243 chronograph movement has 17 jewels and looks to me like it was serviced once in the recent past. It runs and keeps good time and all of the chronograph functions work perfectly. The small subsidiary dial at 3 counts up to 30 minutes while the long center second hand starts and stops for timing with the button at two. Reset with the other button at 4. It should go without saying that the original strap for this watch would be a real find as leather does not survive 60 years quite like steel. Strap seen is a brand new Hadley Roma black leather strap with a stainless steel buckle. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$775} Item #4855 SALE! {$550} SOLD |

Title: Nice 1940's Helbros w/Box Description: A cool little watch in a Helbros box although it may not be original. I say that because I think the retail price at that time would have been more like $39 or so for this piece and the little sticker only says $22. It is in very good condition and probably qualifies as near mint except for the dial which shows a tiny bit of age. Runs great with a Swiss made 17 jewel hand wound movement (pristine condition) and we have added a new Hadley Roma leather strap. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the signed crown) x 36 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$135} Item #3394 SOLD EG |

Title: New Old Stock Stainless Steel Helbros Triple Date w/Box Description: PRISTINE MINT condition. Found in the back room of a retiring jeweler's shop this fantastic old time piece is perfect in every way. As a NOS piece we can be assured that every part is original including the crown, crystal, lizard skin strap and buckle. This piece also has its original hang tag and a box from the same store which may or may not be original. The retiring jeweler kept the watch out of the box and could not recall which box was original for it. The dial is a real treat with its blue day of the month chapter. Many watches of this type were either gold filled, gold plated with steel backs or chrome plated with steel backs. Entirely made of steel the three part case has a polished bezel, brushed middle body and part brushed and part polished (along the edge) snap on back. It runs and functions exactly as it should. The day of the week (Wed in photo) only changes as the hour hand passes midnight. The date pointer also changes as the hour hand passes mid night and is rapidly changed with the tiny push piece on the side of the case, below the crown. The month window is rapidly changed with the push piece on the side of the case above the crown. Watches of this kind are commonly held by astute collectors and rarely resold. One caveat. Having never had the back removed this piece has also never been serviced. Measures 31.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$675} Item #3980 SOLD |

It runs perfectly and the chronograph functions as it should. The dial is gray. Fully signed on the dial, case, movement and crown. From a fancy watch repair shop out in California and first sold for $2500! Comes with this silver carbon fiber style HR strap but you may choose another if you don't like this one. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$1175} Item #5795 SOLD |

Title: Rare Heuer Carrera Abercrombie and Fitch Automatic Description: VERYGOOD condition. Really nice time piece with a 99%perfect original blue dial and rare Caliber 12 micro-rotor automatic chronograph movement. The Cal. 11 was the world's first automatic chronograph. We don't see it or the 12 very often at all. It is especially nice to have a private label dial with the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (a high end retailer) notation. Minor scuffs and nicks and one ding on the signed crown. Heavy signed slotted screw back. The outer tachymeter track is mostly gone or slipped out of alignment (just the printing) as this was made with a decal on the white portion. It is the only part of the watch which doesn't look real nice. Runs great and keeps good time. Some luminescent material is missing from the original hands. A great find and affordable in today's high priced market! Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 13.5 mm thick. {$1675} Item #5786 SOLD |

Title:
Rare Early Round Pusher Steel Heuer Chronograph Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a real sweet medium to small round Swiss made chronograph (timer and time keeper). Original dial (signed made in switzerland on the bottom) , hands, case, pushers, movement and crown. Ed. Heuer signed everywhere including the desirable 17j shock protected Valjoux 23 hand wound movement which runs great. Slightly different than the run of the mill 2 register chronograph this watch has tiny pushers and larger than normal sub dials. A screw on back and round pushers keep it drier and cleaner then chronographs with snap backs and round or oval pushers. The long center second hand is actually the 60 second chronograph timer and the subsidiary dial at 3 keeps track of up to 30 minutes. Normal seconds appear in the sub dial at 9. I believe the price is a bit low but the dial is white and aged so...you decide. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1160} Item #5084 SOLD |

Title: Rare Heuer Up Down Chronograph Description: EXCELLENT condition. You really have to see this watch in person to appreciate it's unique style and beauty. This is a three part case with a gold plated bezel and middle body. There are a few spots of plating loss on the bezel but they are fairly small. Overall the middle body and bezel rate about 75% and look more like nearmint in person. The dial is superb and the previous owner claimed it was original but I believe it was refinished very nicely sometime long ago. It does say "made in switzerland" at the very bottom. The oversized sub-dials are striking and unusual. Normal seconds at six, 30 minute counter at twelve. The steel back is fully signed and snaps in place. It fits perfectly but a flat pusher chronograph is not a water or dust resistant vintage watch. The flat pushers and crown are original and there is some wear/pitting on the end of the crown. This has an early type of white (steel or german silver) mono-metallic screw balance with a nickel/iron hairspring opposed to blue carbon steel hairsprings on later watches. The genuine lizard skin strap is original to the era, or close. 1940's triple signed (Ed. Heuer on movement) up down chronograph in perfect running condition and keeping good time. Measures 33.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$875} Item #4213 SOLD TO JA |

Title:
Nice WGF Illinois Blackstone Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very attractive although small watch circa 1930 or so. White gold filled case has three pieces. A snap on back, middle body and a snap on bezel where the crystal resides. It is in nice condition and the back fits well but it also has a small ding in it. The crystal is glass. The dial looks like a nice refinish to me. A couple of special features that I noticed about this model is the hand engraved sides of the middle body and the fancy and correct 17j Illinois movement. A tad bit more finish and you might wonder if IWC or Patek made it with the Swiss style open finger bridges. It has raised cupped jewel settings which are held in place with screws, a solid gold train (wheels), a capped balance staff and a diamond capped escape wheel pinion. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$375} Item #5364 SOLD |

Title:
Rare 1928 Two Tone WGF/YGF Illinois Major
Description: VERYGOOD condition. Rare case style with the middle body yellow gold filled and the snap on engraved bezel and back white gold filled material. Learn about gold filled cases <HERE>. Some wear on the tips of the lugs which you can see as darker base metal (usually brass). Not as noticeable to the naked eye as these close-up photos show. Caught myself staring at it, turning it over and realized that it is almost near mint at a foot away from my eyes. The dial was refinished previously with a striking salmon/copper and yellow exploding numeral motif common and rare for this Major, Circa 1928. Check out the movement by clicking on the photo to the left for the close-ups. Gorgeous and in great shape too according to Wayne the watchmaker who has checked it over and regulated it for accuracy. It has nice raised jewel settings held in place with screws, cross hatch demaskeening, patent regulator, 17 jewels, gold wheel train, bi-metallic split screw balance and unbelievable condition. If you know anything about Illinois watches, then you know that finding one with a nearmint movement is pretty tough. No scratches, scuffs, burr marks on screw heads or washout seen. Except for the wear on the lug tips this watch is in fine condition. Glass crystal and perfect fitting bezel and back. No sign of major age on the white gold filled back. This is a striking watch on the wrist and I don't think you will see another one anytime soon. A brand new Hadley Roma dark brown dress strap is attached. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$875} Item #5653 SOLD |

Title:
Extra Nice WGF Illinois Beau Gest Description: VERYGOOD condition. Really nice larger watch from the early 1930's or earlier. The three piece white gold filled case has no wear through and the snap on back like we see on many wristwatches of this age but looking with a loupe I do see some on the two lugs at 11 and 12. The nice looking Illinois 601 movement runs but is slow and probably needs service. It has 21 jewels and like most Illinois movements is very attractive with raised jewel settings which are held in place with screws. In addition the bridge plates are Swiss style and more attractive with Geneva strips (demaskeening) than many other American made movements. Perfect dial has gold leaf Arabic numerals and I think is original but it could be refinished as the quality is too good for me to tell for sure. The crystal is beveled glass which is rare in any wristwatch. We'll service and give a one year warranty for an additional $75. The strap is generic so choose one you like from our Accessories page. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$379} Item #5506 SOLD |

Title:
Excellent WGF Illinois Medalist
Serviced Description: VERYGOOD condition. Really sharp looking watch from about 1929/30 in a nice original three piece white gold filled snap back case, model 193 and fantastic dial. I wish I could say it is original as there is a little aging seen outside the 5, but I think it is an older, very nice refinish. In other words, it was repainted some time ago. Extra nice thick beveled glass crystal adds authenticity to the age as that is the type they would have had way back then. The hand wound American made Illinois 12/0 size movement is a grade 207 and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. He also put a new mainspring in. There are some little tiny wear points on the back corners and watches this old were not made for water or dust resistance. Overall a stunningly attractive very vintage timepiece. A brand new high grade Hadley Roma lizard skin strap with a steel buckle to match the head is included. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$449} Item #5363 SOLD |

Three piece engraved case and nice 17j Illinois hand wound movement keeps good time. Original painted dial is very nice for this genre/brand. A brand new HR Oil Tan strap is attached. Priced at or below market. Vintage 1930's and rare. Illinois wrist watches were only made for a few years and in general are better looking and larger than other wristwatches of the time.

Title:
One of a Kind? Illinois Gift Series Wrist Watch Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. Sold this to a good customer several years ago but I have still not seen any other like it. Not just signed "Gift Series" on the dial but also lightly engraved on the inside of the back. Click on the image to the left for close ups. This is a three piece white gold filled case with some light wear spots on the high points/corners of the bezel. Radium dial is perfect and completely original which is very rare for a watch of this age (1930). That is paint missing down under the 5. The crystal is glass. The Illinois movement has 15 jewels. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$485} Item #5366 SOLD |

Title:
Very Rare and Large WGF Illinois Viking Description: VERYGOOD condition. In my opinion this is one of the models an Illinois collector should want. It is one of the biggest and most attractive with distinctive molded bezel, thick glass crystal and luminous radium dial and hands. Not a lot of wear like we see on almost all Illinois watches in the market place these days. The original dial looks much better in person as our close-up photos seem to enlarge spotty areas. The white gold filled models are a bit rarer than ygf watches and they are also hardier. The correct 17 jewel Illinois American made movement is in nice shape but has a bit of corrosion on the mainspring wheel. This 1929 art deco wrist watch runs fine and keeps good time. It has been fitted with a Hadley Roma genuine lizard skin strap with a stainless steel buckle to match the color of the head. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$875} Item #5362 SOLD |

Title:
White Gold Filled Illinois Whippet Description: VERYGOOD condition. Extra nice shape although the perfect dial has been refinished. Subsidiary seconds dial is at nine which is pretty much unique to Illinois wrist watches. Highly engraved with some initials on the back. I think they are EJO. The large middle initial is always for the last name. The 15j movement runs great and is very sharp and clean looking. The crystal is perfect and glass which is nice. Measures 27 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$375} Item #5360 SOLD |

Title:
Rare Illinois Major, Circa 1920's Description: VERYGOOD condition. What a beautiful large watch from the early 20th century. The three piece case is white gold filled and in good shape, especially for Illinois watches which because of their age often have well worn cases. This model is one of the largest for the genre and in wonderful overall condition with a gorgeous dial. Not sure if it is an original or an old refinish, probably the latter but if you look closely at the hands you will see that they are quite old with cracking in the luminescent material which at this time in history would have to be radium. I think that there is a good chance that the dial is original, which would make this price very low. I just saw a Major online with a refinished dial priced at $895! The attractive hand wound American made Illinois movement has 17 jewels, solid gold train (wheels) no corrosion, beautiful demaskeening/movement decoration, raised jewel settings and keeps good time. It dates to 1928 which is the first year this model was introduced. The crystal is perfect. So is the crown. A brand new Hadley Roma lizard skin strap is attached and has a stainless steel buckle to match the white gold filled case. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$675} Item #5361 SOLD |

Beautiful White GF Illinois Beau Royale Description: GOOD condition. Very hard watch to buy. Illinois wrist watches were only made for a short while so any model is a good find but this one is especially rare and desirable. The large size and embossed white gold filled three piece case make it very attractive. The newly refinished dial looks nice and the hand wound American made Illinois movement is unique and very attractive with its solid gold train and raised jewel settings held in place with screws. Glass crystal is perfect. A striking watch in the hand or on the wrist. Circa 1928! Do a quick Google search for Illinois Beau Royale and you'll see one of those fancy websites selling theirs for $1600! Measures 29 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$675} Item #5119 SOLD |

Title: Gold Filled Cut Corner Illinois w/New Old Stock Dial Serviced Description: VERYGOOD condition. Sold to a friend of mine as an original new old stock dial by the Illinois expert and author "FF" who has the nice new hardback about Illinois wristwatches out. For the most part we avoid buying or selling "put-together" watches but this type of thing is hard to avoid amongst the NAWCC dealers at the national watch shows. As long as we are all aware the dial has been added later and its condition is mint or new, from old stock. It is an original Illinois dial meant for this case and design. The case and gorgeous "Aristocrat" hand wound movement are in average condition with considerable case wear-through to nickel (gold filled outer shell has worn down so the white metal shows through) on the back and fitting together just OK. Fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. New old stock hands too. Maybe best of all is this rare Illinois signed leather strap and buckle which I have never seen before. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$575} {$450} SALE Item #4539 SOLD |

Title: Unusual Illinois "Gift Series" Serviced Description:
GOOD condition. This is a very cool looking piece with some
case wear to notice on the edges and the edges of the back. The dial
looks better in person (not as dark as the photo) and I think it
actually looks really nice. I like the original hands which have been
refilled with luminescent material. The crown is original and so is the
bracelet. The Illinois movement is one of their nicest with raised jewel
settings a great looking overall appearance. It has 17 jewels and is the
fourth model or 3/0 size with a serial number of 5167454. I am guessing
this is a salesman's sample and of course, fairly rare. Illinois watches
in general are scarce and very collectable. The attractive movements and
larger size (for early timepieces) are a couple of virtues enjoyed by
collectors. It is running great and has been fully serviced, oiled
and timed. The crystal is perfect. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Gorgeous Large 18k IWC Automatic
Serviced
Description: VERYGOOD condition. Way better original dial in person than our super close-up photos show. I am looking at it now at 14 inches from my face and can't see the little dark spots that are so visible in our photos. Just looks evenly aged and lightly tan in color. Some buffing done on the case and recently serviced by the previous owner IWC Caliber 852 has a cool patented winding system just like this watch, Click Here called Pellaton and has been fully serviced by the previous owner. Wayne took a look and proclaimed it to be real pretty and clean and running strong, keeping good time. A little bit of research reveals that IWC only had a handful of "in-house" automatic movements, starting in 1950 with the Caliber 81. Then the improved Caliber 85 in the same year and soon after the most efficient and robust, the Caliber 852 which is what this carries. That model was used for years and had a date mechanism added later (Caliber 8521) and also was used in the first Engineers. It wasn't until 1958 that they updated to another with a slight improvement, the Caliber 853/8531 date. Some other features besides the Pellaton winding system are 21 jewels, a jeweled bi-directional rotor, a self compensating Breguet hairspring on the Glucydur two spoke screw balance, Incabloc protects the balance staff from shock, 19,800 bph or beats per hour and a 46 hour power reserve/mainspring. The case is signed as is the crown with the IWC fish. This watch is all original, somewhat rare and should be considered an heirloom multi-generational time piece which can be passed from the old to the new, for ever. I like this DeBeer $160 American Alligator skin strap which can be seen in the photos but we can put whatever you prefer if you don't like it. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$2275} Item #5807 SOLD |

Title: Rare Vintage IWC Mark X, British Military Issue Serviced Description: EXCELLENT condition. One of the worlds most important military issue timepieces from one of the worlds most important manufacturers. Superb original condition including the dial. Click on the image to the left for close-ups. The fantastic IWC Caliber 83 hound wound movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and is one of the most beautiful watch movements ever made. This is a hand wound watch from WW II. It was issued to ground troops in the early part of 1945. Only six thousand examples were made starting with case number 1,131,001. This is the 1525th Mark X made according to its case number. Our research indicates all parts except the crown, crystal and gaskets are original to one another and to this watch. We have verified these details through inspection as IWC numbered each bridge part with the last three digits of the movement serial number. This is a two part steel case with a snap on back (original), satin middle body and polished bezel. There are some nicks on this portion of the watch (bezel). It has fixed (spring) bars and an open end or wire lug German made Jurgens strap with rivets is included. It cannot be understated how nice this completely original dial is. Our poor photography does not show its virtues very well. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42.5 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$4199} Item #4888 SOLD |

Some light tool marks on the slotted back. Some faint scuffs here and there on the bezel and edge of the lugs. I would call the case 97% perfect. 1% age can be seen on the amazing silvered dial or 99% perfect. The movement has not had a single screw driver on it and is a real beauty. Click on the image to the left for some sweet close up shots of everything. Fully designed and made "in house" the IWC Caliber 8531 was first introduced in 1959. Some of this famous movement's attributes include a screw (gold) balance with special equalizing screws on both spokes, a gold pallet fork, a ruby bearing central rotor which combined eccentric winding with double clicks in its Pellaton winding system (notice these long arms/clicks in our close up photo, third from the bottom which are made of beryllium bronze and have tarnished) 21 jewels, 45 hours of mainspring time, a self compensating Breguet hairspring, Incabloc shock resistance and IWC's most famous innovation, the soft anti-magnetic metal lining which makes this watch a bit thicker along with the extra thick Caliber. Featured with a large photo in the book "Wristwatches" and the caption "One of the best movement's ever produced in Switzerland". Fitted with our finest grade American Alligator strap ($100 value). Call if you want this watch. It is expensive but unique in its condition. Measures 36.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$5995} Item #4707 SOLD |

Title: Early 14k Yellow Gold IWC Serviced Description:
GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. Hard to find early (dates to 1938) wire lug
yellow gold IWC with Caliber 83 hand wound movement. It has been
fully serviced, oiled and timed and runs great. Some normal signs of
wear for a 70 year old timepiece. In my opinion the black dial was
professionally refinished some time in the past. It does say Swiss made
at the bottom and the quality is good but...we'll call it refinished.
Some nicks and case opening marks seen in the larger photos. These look
a lot larger in the super close-up photos. They are not very noticeable
to the naked eye. Fully marked case and movement. Case number dating
corresponds to the date of the movement. The crown is not original. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 36 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Title: Nice Stainless Steel Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox (Alarm) Description: VERYGOOD condition. We were lucky to buy this watch at a reasonable price as it seems all high end alarms are very expensive these days. Mechanical hand wound or automatic alarm movements are still undervalued in my opinion. This nice watch has a two piece signed steel friction fit case, an average refinished (older) dial and a well running LeCoultre P489/1 Swiss made movement. One other thing. Jaeger LeCoultre watches get better prices than LeCoultre watches. I am not sure why except that the supply is smaller. Keeps perfect time according to the timing machine. Two modern unsigned crowns. The hands and indices are pink. Plastic crystal. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$675} (sold in 2000) Item #4581 SOLD |

Title:
Wonderful "Joseph" Oval Pusher Chronograph Description: VERYGOOD condition. All Swiss made, Circa 1950 or so with an unusual Landeron shock protected movement. Most chronographs from this era were not shock protected. Superb middle body and bezel look like steel but must be chrome plated or the steel back would say all steel.

Center second hand measures each minute when you start the chronograph. Push the button at 2 to start and stop and push the button at four to stop and again to reset (while stopped).

Title: Beautiful 1940's
Jaeger LeCoultre Hand Wind
Description: EXCELLENT condition. Superb condition. Original unbuffed finish. Original period like new gray nylon short strap. Original dial. Steel. Fully signed. This is a beautiful watch in a Swiss made three piece, snap back, snap on bezel case with its original part polished part satin finish and fantastic original dial with a light to medium colored tan. Was most certainly white, eggshell, silvered or beige. The stylized Arabic numerals are probably made of radium infused luminescent material as are the hands (inside). Only one small part down around the 4 didn't age to the same degree of brown color. It is a bit lighter there. Then the movement is just to die for. Just look at that gorgeous golden/gilt movement (P475). JLC has in-house movements and to this day is known as one of the best makers in the world. In my opinion, they rank on a 2nd tier, behind only Patek with a handful of topnotch makers like AP, Breguet, IWC and Vacheron. Rolex and Omega fall into a third tier for me as a more mass produced makers. I think Wayne serviced this but I can't find the little note paper he makes with all of the movement info. We'll take care of you if it has a problem of any kind. This is common knowledge for our large base of clientele. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 11.5 mm thick. {$699} Item #5981 SOLD |

Awesome Early LeCoultre SS Hand
Wind
Serviced
Description: EXCELLENT condition. Boy, this is a real honey and the only thing not perfect about it is that the size is mid-sized, not larger like this one we just sold recently...click here. Housed in a signed, three piece steel case which has been lightly buffed but still shows much of the original brushed finish seen on the sides of the middle body, for example. No corrosion or rust which we see on older steel watches often. Easy to grip crown is a replacement as is the acrylic crystal. Wayne has also fully serviced, oiled and timed the LeCoultre in-house Caliber 450/3A hand winding movement and it is a real stunner. I should've taken a pic of it before he sealed it up. It comes with a rare one year warranty which is sweet for such an old watch. Pick your own nice Hadley Roma or other strap from our accessories page if you don't like the Gator style in light brown seen in the photos but it goes with this fantastic original tan military style dial really well. Speaking of the dial, this one is what I look for in vintage, evenly aged original dials. Lots of character in that it has aged and darkened but is almost un-used or damaged in any way, including the original hands. There is a little dark smudging or spotting between the 15 and 16 and just outside the 3 and 4pm radium Arabic numerals. I'll be sorry to see this fantastic example of a 1940's LeCoultre go. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$695} Item #5645 SOLD |

Title:
Large Green Dial. LeCoultre Master Mariner Description: EXCELLENT condition. This 10k gold filled (see about gold filled watch cases <HERE>...) case is of one piece design with no removable back. Shaped like a bowl for greater water and dust resistance. Quick set date will change date of the month with a push of the crown. Gorgeous original dial has pylon style raised markers and a fantastic 60's, early 70's style. The 12 and 6 have lum dots but I checked them in the dark and they don't light up much. The LeCoultre automatic movement has been evaluated by our watchmaker and is keeping good time and we have lightly buffed the case. The large crown is easy to grip and matches in style and color but has S on it. Sweet large vintage high grade LeCoultre Master Mariner automatic! Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$875} Item #5348 SOLD |

A brand new Collection Series Hadley Roma 2000 dress strap in dark brown with a gold plated steel buckle is attached.

Title:
Early 20th Century Ladies LeCoultre/Blancpain Wristlet w/Hot Dog Expansion
Bracelet
Serviced Description: EXCELLENT condition. Sweet! Hard to find early LeCoultre watches of any kind really. This one is probably almost 100 years old and as you can see it once was a pendant watch or was made to be BOTH a pendant and a wrist watch as men were not wearing watches on their wrists at that time (for the most part). Ladies led the way with the trend. Hot dog expansion bracelets are named because of the shape of each link. This one is gold filled and in perfect condition, matching the condition of the head of this old watch which is always good and tells us that they are probably original to one another. Signed A. LeCoultre and E. Blancpain Fils on the hand wound Caliber 40 movement which has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. The mainspring and set bridge have also been replaced with new old stock LeCoultre parts. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$370} Item #4517 SOLD |

Title:
1950's Steel LeCoultre Bumper Wind Automatic Description: EXCELLENT condition. Many vintage LeCoultre watches on the US market today are cased in American made cases. This mid 50's water and dust proof (at the time) steel screw back case is Swiss made and in nearmint condition. The brushed sides and satin brushed flat back contrast nicely with the polished bezel, lug tops and slanted portion of the back. Some light superficial scuffs are visible with magnification. The dial may have been freshened up way back in the past but it looks original to me with the darkly aged original hands having their original lum in the center which matches the color of the aged luminescent dots in front of each marker and swiss at the bottom. The second generation LeCoultre in-house bumper wind Cal. K812 movement is working wonderfully, keeping good time and features 17 jewels, a Glucydur screw balance (19,800 bph) with Kif shock resistance and a self compensating hairspring. LeCoultre returned to making hammer or bumper wind movements after they made their first rotor wind the Cal. 493, in 1951 because of their sturdiness and ability to accept additional features or complications keeping a relatively flat dimension. Comes in a beautiful vintage LeCoultre inner and outer box with LeCoultre fancy paper certificate. A 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. {$699} Item #5138 SOLD |

Title: Big 14k Yellow Gold LeCoultre Bumper Wind Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Expensive brand in a well made screw back
gold case. Fully signed and all original. The two tone dial looks better
in some ways because you see the nice contrast but there are some
lighter colored spots which can be seen all over and to the right side
of the dial in the photos especially and in a particular angle to the
light. I rate the condition of the dial at 85%. It keeps excellent time
and is one of the nicest and affordable heavy solid gold high grade
automatics you might see in awhile. The 17j LeCoultre in-house P-812
bumper wind movement was developed in 1955 and features Kif-Flector
shock protection, two spoke Glucydur screw balance and a self
compensating flat hairspring at 19,800 beats per hour/bph.

Title:
British Military Issue Lemania HS-9 One Button Chronograph Description: VERYGOOD condition. Sweet all original military issue chronograph. We've re-filled the original hands otherwise watch is in lightly buffed all original condition. Polished slotted screw back properly marked with military nomenclature and a satin or brushed finish middle body. Rare original dial has most of the lum dots/squares and luminescent Arabic numerals in good shape. Some have degraded (lum dots at 4 and 11 for instance). Many dealers show a watch like this...click here, one we've sold a few years ago and call the perfect re-finished dial original. Original dials probably add 30% to the value especially for rare models. This is a large heavily cased military watch from the late 1950's or early 60's. Our watchmaker has examined the 17 jewel Lemania model # 15CHT, 15 ligne hand wound chronograph movement and it is in fantastic condition showing only moderate use. See the close-up photos. Recommended as an undervalued double genre collectable. We've attached a fantastic vintage heavy leather cuff strap from my personal collection. If you don't like it we can try some other straps but wire or fixed lug watches will only take a few types of special straps. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$1550} Item #5379 SOLD |

Title: Beautiful Lemania One Button Military Issue Chronograph Description:
NEARMINT condition. Except for a couple of very small nicks this
piece is perfect. It has been professionally buffed in its past. The
heavy six slotted screw back is unsigned but did have issue or ordinance
marks at one time. If you hold it under the right light the buffed out
spots are visible. I am guessing this was Australian Royal Navy, South
African Air force or British Aviators. Era 1965 or so. It is not
uncommon to find issue watches of this caliber with missing or scratched
out marks. Service men were expected to return their watches after their
duty. The Lemania (makers mark under the balance) Caliber 2210 is very
clean and works perfectly, keeping very good time. The dial is sweet and
perfect although it has been professionally refinished and does say "swiss"
at the bottom. The hands have also been re-lumed and painted but they
are correct. The dial is also correct and matches British RAF, South
African and Australian Royal Navy issue watches that we have seen. This
watch has fixed wire lugs and is attached to a new NATO style nylon
strap. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 45 mm long x 14 mm thick.

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Made in 1925 according to the Longines Caliber 10.86N serial number. And, this dial if not original is very very old. In other words, if refinished it was done in the 1940's when Radium might have been used as there are light burns on the dial where the hands set for years and also burns on the inside of the crystal above each Arabic numeral. Solid silver dial marked "Stern 0.935 Geneve" on the back and original 14k yellow gold case reference #63854-10/86 in great shape and carrying a fine thin Hadley Roma Alligator dress strap in dark dark brown. It has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker and comes with a one year service warranty. The crown is new and easy to grip. Measures 26 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$1079} Item #5647 SOLD |

Title: Rare Formed
Stepped Case Longines Circa 1938
Serviced
Description: GOOD condition. Really rare steel formed case design and similar to some very expensive brands from the time. Made in the late 1930's. The price is very low but that is because of some corrosion on the back which is marked Boden Edelstahl or "ground high-grade steel" but not signed Longines. See our close-up photos by clicking on the image to the left. This watch will be fine as long as you don't get sweaty while wearing it. The gorgeous Longines Caliber 25.17 Swiss made movement keeps great time and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker and we have had the dial refinished by a good company in Canada and it looks really sharp. A new slightly domed crystal is also part of the refurbish and an open ended pigskin strap is attached. A fantastic rare form by a high grade manufacturer at a bargain price. Measures 22.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 8.5 mm thick. {$290} Item #5564 SOLD |

Title:
Extra Nice SS Longines Ultrachron
Serviced Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. I have a hard time finding good examples of the Ultrachron because, in my opinion they were very popular and actually worn by their original customers for many years, if not decades.

Title:
Beautiful Longines Allguard Automatic Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is one of my favorite watches of all time because it is thick and larger than most dressy, sporty steel high grade automatics, and it is from the 50's which is my favorite decade for vintage. The robin egg blue dial has been refinished and looks nice, not bad at all (I'm not a big fan of re-finished dials). After market crown has been added recently and Wayne has also added a new acrylic crystal, gone through it for problems or dirt and regulated it. The Longines in-house Caliber 19AS early automatic (about 1954) looks just like this Allguard's movement, click here but Wayne has sealed up the screw back case so I don't have a photo. Buffed but overall this is a real striking vintage automatic no date. Comes with a sweet Hadley Roma MS 844 black sporty leather strap with holes for breathing (in the leather) and a steel buckle. May go quick at this price! Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$390} Item #5782 SOLD |

Two piece construction with a removable bezel holding the acrylic crystal. Mint original silvered mystery dial where the gold star substitutes for the hour hand. Solid 14k yellow gold with fancy finish on the bezel and lugs, polished on the back. Extra nice shape with no sign of wear or damage that I can see. Signed crown.

Title:
Hard to Find 14k Gold Longines Tank Description: VERYGOOD condition. Fairly rare case design with the cut out extended lugs. Solid 14k yellow gold case was made in America by Longines. It has male spring bar posts rather than holes and requires female spring bars. The dial is refinished and just looks OK in my opinion. Some light corrosion on the Swiss made Longines Caliber 9L. Add $75 for full service plus a two week lag. Runs fine according to our timing machine though. Original thick glass crystal. A brand new genuine crocodile strap is included.

Title:
Very Cool 1940's Stainless Steel Longines
Description: VERYGOOD condition. I love this watch. We often find the type from this era by Longines but in a real small size, about 30 mm. This is quite a bit larger. The hand wound Longines Caliber 10L dates to 1942 and is real gorgeous to view. It is a higher grade center second which was a nice modification to have back during that time (opposed to subsidiary seconds). The screw on back is numbered and signed but does have some tool marks or scratches. The case has been buffed and a satin finish re-applied by our watchmaker who has also gone through the movement looking for problems. He regulated it/timed it and added a new acrylic crystal. The crown is large and easy to grip. It could be the original. I believe the dial has been refinished but it has been a long time since it was done as you can still see radium burns on it from the original hands. It could be original. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$290} Item #5346 SOLD |
 |
Title: Large SS Longines Center Second Circa 1962/63 Description: GOOD condition. Probably more like VERYGOOD but the refinished dial stinks in my opinion. Guess I am not much of a salesman. We do not send watches for dial refinish as the quality of all the American dial refinishers is awful. Purchased as is overseas in Europe. Beautiful hand wound Longines Caliber 12.68ZS movement has the extra bridge for the center second feature which is an upgrade over sub second movements. Runs great! Non original large crown is easy to grip. All steel snap back case is pretty nice although I think it has been buffed by the previous owner, a watchmaker in Europe. Nice Hadley Roma black croc pattern strap is attached. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$199} Item #5478 SOLD |

Title:
Nice High Beat Longines Ultra Chron Description: GOOD condition. Nice 1960's thin yellow gold filled automatic which was previously part of a watchmaker's collection. He had serviced this sometime in the past and it keeps good time now. The case has a light satin finish all over it which is a bit odd looking in my opinion. We can buff it back to normal again if you like which is probably more like a polished back with a satin finished top/lugs and side. These are getting really expensive in steel or in extra nice shape. Unsigned new crown, Old style quick set date has to be wound past midnight, back to nine and then repeat. This watch really looks sharp in person. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$275} Item #5393 SOLD |

Title:
Fantastic Rare Longines AllGuard Description: NEARMINT condition. Just a wonderful large watch in superb condition. All original and unbuffed. Plenty of light scuffs like what you might expect for a watch of this age, different from most watches sold by dealers who buff the dickens out of everything. This is a Conquest case, for the most part and the precursor for the Conquest. Same body and thick back except there is no fancy gold and enamel logo. Original crown and gorgeous in-house Caliber 19AS early automatic movement. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$545} Item #5057 SOLD |

Title: Ladies 14k White Gold and Diamond Longines Serviced Description: EXCELLENT condition. Nice hand wound Swiss made ladies watch from a bit later than you might think as the high grade Longines caliber 410 movement is shock protected which indicates late 50's or 1960's.

Title: Beautiful 14k Longines Automatic w/Sub Seconds Dial Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice watch which is way undervalued in today's vintage watch market. A nice Omega Seamaster from this era but in steel can sell for double this price. This signed Longines watch case is made of solid 14k yellow gold, is in very good condition with some light nicks. It is a bowl shape with no removable back. It has been buffed and the sand marks on the raised portion of the back are not original. We can buff that smooth if you like. Another virtue is the very nice and collectable in-house Longines Caliber 19A which incorporates eccentric winding, shock protection and was invented in 1952. This movement was made in about 1960 and it has been checked out completely by our watchmaker. The original dial is gorgeous and nearmint easily. Original signed crown.

Title: Longines Admiral Grand Prize Description: EXCELLENT condition. Late 1960's vintage in great shape with one spot seen on the original nearmint dial at about 1:30 and in towards the center pinion. This is a hard dial to see even in person. The gray or blue gray to brownish dial is very unique and also hard to photo and describe. One piece gold filled bowl shaped case with an unsigned crown. Pretty much the same watch as the higher priced Omega Seamaster. Old style quick set date (move hand from midnight back to nine and back past 12 again).

Title: Longines Admiral Automatic Mechanic's Special Description: GOOD condition. Decent piece just like and the answer to Omega's Seamaster. Same style one piece gold filled case with cool logo on the back. Nice high grade Longines in-house automatic movement but does not run.

Title: Old Stock Ladies 14k Longines Description: MINT condition. Fairly modern hand wound Swiss 14k yellow gold, 60's or close I think. Never sold and possibly sized for a customer who did not complete the transaction as it is found with a part of the gold bracelet cut and taped to the back. It is small now and will only fit a very small wrist. It measures 6 inches long and probably fits a 5 and 1/2 to 5 and 3/4 inch wrist.

Title: Rare Oversized Stainless Steel Longines, Circa 1947 Serviced Description: EXCELLENT condition. One of the coolest vintage Longines wristwatches I have seen. There are several obvious differences, which make it special. The size is over large and the case material, for a dress watch is out of the ordinary. In addition, the design is extra nice with the long fancy lugs and finally the condition. I have it graded as EXCELLENT but it is obvious that this piece was not sold or worn, but passed around at a watch show or two with some scuffs and a couple of nicks only. No wear on the watch or the original strap to speak of. The piece has its original glass crystal as well. A caveat is the refinished dial and the painted hands. Original signed crown. Signed snap back, which is very tight. The hand wound Longines Caliber 12.68Z has some corrosion as seen in the close-up photo (click on the small image to the left for the close-ups) but it has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and it is keeping very good time showing less than 15 seconds daily positional error according to our timing machine. Steel dress watches of this size and from this period are scarce and highly collectable. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$575} Item #3967 SOLD ML |

Title: Square Frame Longines Mechanic's Special Description: FAIR condition. Nice big vintage Longines but does have case wear and needs service. Will run but does not keep great time.

Title: Big 1960/61 Longines 14k Yellow Gold Tank Serviced Description: GOOD condition. This is a nice watch although it does show its age here and there. The solid gold Longines signed case is good but it once had a gold bracelet I believe as the inside of the lugs are worn where a bracelet was attached for many years. Also, the dial has some dark edges or age although this is not a huge distraction to the naked eye. The Longines Caliber #370 hand wound movement is in fine shape and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. One of our nicest 20 mm Hadley Roma brown leather straps is attached.

Title: Stainless Steel 24j Longines Conquest "Turler" Description: A high grade watch which was designed to compete with the Omega Constellation. The signed screw back case rates about 85-90% with a tool mark or two and a scratch. You can see that the green enamel on the solid gold emblem is still intact with a little wear around the edges. The original dial is about 90% with a little darkening overall. Developed in 1958, this caliber (#291) is the successor to the lower end 19AS. The 291 had an improvement using twin click wheels and springless locking anchors for the switching principle of the automatic winding mechanism. Also, of note is a two spoke Glucydur screw balance, Nivarox hairspring, 19,800 bph, Incabloc shock resistance and direct center seconds. It has 24 jewels with a 45 hour power reserve. Old style quick-set which means one can change the date easily by rotating the hour hand past midnight then backwards to nine then forward again past midnight. The crown is a modern replacement. A brand new Hadley Roma 882 oil tan in black with a stainless steel buckle is included. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$419} Item #3962 SOLD CWG |

Title: Big 1980's Integral Bracelet Gold Longines Description: EXCELLENT condition. Weighing over 50 grams this cool solid gold watch is fully signed (dial, movement, case and bracelet/clasp) and in great condition. The hand wound Longines caliber 528 is shock protected and is accurate to with-in 5 seconds a day according to the timing machine. The watch measures 7 and 1/2 inches long but is to short for my 7 and 1/2 inch wrist. I think a 6 and 1/2 to 7 inch wrist will fit it best. There is one adjustment on the clasp.

Title: Solid 18k Gold 24j Longines Conquest Serviced Description: A heavy high grade watch in solid 18k yellow gold.

The original dial is about 95% with the only age seen at the very edge, here and there. Developed in 1958, the caliber 291 is the successor to the lower end 19AS. I say lower end because the 291 has an improvement using twin click wheels and spring less locking anchors for the switching principle of the automatic winding mechanism. Also, of note is a two spoke Glucydur screw balance, Nivarox hairspring, 19,800 bph, Incabloc shock resistance and direct center seconds. It has 24 jewels with a 45 hour power reserve. It has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and keeps nearly perfect time too showing little error on the timing machine. Old style quick-set which means one can change the date easily by rotating the hour hand past midnight then backwards to nine then forward again past midnight. A plain strap is attached but you may have your choice of brand new Hadley Roma straps, not including the gator. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$895} Item #SCH306-2673 SOLD RS |

Title:
Pink and Black Dialed Mido Multifort Superautomatic Powerwind Description: VERYGOOD condition. It is hard to find vintage watches which don't look small on a big mans wrist.

Title: Sweet Blue Dial
Mirexal Superautomatic 1000ft Dive Watch
Description: EXCELLENT condition. This is a very cool watch with a heavy but not too thick steel case and a super thick beveled glass crystal. Also, a beautiful two tone dial, floating indices for high visibility under water just like we see on many divers. Click here for an Oceanographer example.

And this is a quick set date which is only found on the latest vintage watches as most were slow set up until the late 60's or even 1970. The uni-directional rotating bezel has black numbers and some of them have lost their paint but the rest of the watch is almost near mint. Very nice condition and absolutely gorgeous to see on your wrist. Anyway, I like the way it looks with blue center and perfect orange white hands. A new Hadley Roma dark brown shark skin strap is attached. Keeps great time, is Swiss made and unusual.

Mortima Super Datomatic Diver W/Rotating Inner and Outer Bezels Description: EXCELLENT condition. This type of late 1960's is Swiss made and a functional diver's time piece but with chrome plated main bodies and lower grade movements they are very affordable. Marked 15 jewels on the dial but I have not opened it so not sure which maker it is (the movement). Hand wound and rated at 6 atms and a steel screw on back which does have a couple of tool marks. One or two nicks on the main case but other than that this is in nearmint shape. Probably not used but just collected like many neat late period watches.

Title: Nice Large Pink
Movado Kingmatic
Serviced
Description: VERYGOOD condition. From a good customer who shops the fancy San Francisco/Bay area where prices are sky high. Fully serviced by the watchmaker/watch shop he bought it from in March of 2009 (watchmaker's mark/date inside of the back) and keeping good time. This is a good sized pink gold plated, 28 jewel Movado Caliber 538 automatic with a sweet and original silvered dial. Rare quick set date with an extra pull of the crown while it is out, in setting position. Don't do that while the hour hand is anywhere near mid-night as mechanical quick set/QS watches can be damaged in that position. Pink color although it is faint, not a dark rose or salmon. Screw back is a mid 1960's favorite because of water and dust resistance. Easy sealing with rubber O-rings. Made in the 1960's with a period genuine crocodile leather strap. We'll change it if you don't care for the look but the slight reddish hue goes well with the pink case. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$250} Item #5801 SOLD |

Title:
Hard to Find 1940's Movado Solidograf
AS FOUND Description: GOOD condition. Nice old hand wound Swiss made gentleman's wrist watch by Movado with an in-house, indirect center second factory movement and a steel snap on back, fully signed with a cuvette or dust cover. Medium in size with a nice original dial even with the obvious spots seen in our close-up photos. I mention this a lot but this watch looks much better in person as our super close-ups don't do it justice. Easy to grip crown may be a replacement. Cool original red arrow tipped second hand. Check other websites for prices of Movado watches. As usual our price beats everybody. Runs fine and keeps good time. Formally the property of a collector. Holed lugs make strap changing easy. The middle body and bezel of this piece is chrome plated but in nice condition. A brand new Hadley Roma brown leather strap is included. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$189} Item #5714 SOLD |

Title:
Really Cool and Rare Movado Calendomatic Description: VERYGOOD condition. Don't overlook the value of a neat old time piece like this as my guess is that it will only increase. Virtues include an all steel screw back case except for the thick gold bezel and cap, original steel crown, original nicely aged dial, complication/triple date function and early automatic Swiss movement. Lightly buffed and checked over including the Movado Caliber 223A 12.5 Ligne bumper wind in-house automatic which was sold in the 1940's and early 50's. Although this model is not particularly wide it feels a bit larger than most because of its thickness. A brand new genuine crocodile strap is included. A real collectors piece which could be an everyday watch as it is fairly robust. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$699} Item #5411 SOLD |

Title:
Curvy Sterling Silver Wire Lug Movado
Serviced Description: VERYGOOD condition. While negotiating for this I thought the dial was porcelain but it turns out to be a re-finished painted dial so I'm not sure if the original was marked "chronometer" like this is marked. Most likely it was, but just spelled differently. Most dials are refinished "as original" especially if still owned by the 1st or 2nd buyer, rather than a dealer. Could still be a chronometre graded watch which just means that it was certified as a really accurate time keeper and overall it is pretty darn nice and all original except the dial. Large puffy polyplan style could be priced twice as high in a fancy venue. It does have a shallow 8 mm wide flat ding on the side near the 10 and 11 and has been to our watchmaker for full service, oil and time. The 10.5 Ligne 15 jewel Movado hand wound movement works perfectly. It is possible the hands are not original but the case is fully marked and in superb shape as is the crown. A new mainspring and low profile crystal has been added along with a new Hirsch wire lug strap. 30% larger and this watch would double or triple in value easily. In between a men's and ladies size but overall the presentation is like new. Slightly curved and lightly polished almost one of a kind 1920's vintage time piece. Measures 27 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 8.5 mm thick. {$875} Item #5353 SOLD |

Cool Black Dial Hand Wound Movado
Serviced Description: VERYGOOD condition. Sweet watch with what looks to me like an older very well done refinished dial although it does say switzerland down at the bottom.

Title:
Hard to Find Movado Triple Date w/Black Dial Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very nice condition even with the white marks/scratches or age on the dial. I am pretty sure it is original as the fine detail is good and the numerals are very dark with age. Our close-up photos make it look bad but at one foot away it looks quite nice. Much better than you might expect. Fully signed steel case is Swiss made and in superb condition. From a collector who had it serviced recently. Day and month are shown in the two windows. They are German or Portuguese, not sure. The day of the month is shown with the extra hand on the dial.

Title: Beautiful Two Register Olympic Up Down Chronograph Serviced Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. The Swiss made Venus chronograph movement in the watch has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and is in great shape, keeping very good time according to the timing machine. The chrome plated case is only in average condition though. This is a very early watch from the late 30's or early 1940's. The dial is super with some age but overall it is very attractive. It has a tachymeter in blue on the outside, a telemeter in red next and finally a black 0-60 second counter for normal timing. This wonderful multi color dial looks perfect to the naked eye, not so much in the close-up photo. The case appears much better in person too. It has oval pushers, the original crown and a neat old nato strap which came with the watch.

Title: Extra Nice RAF Omega 53' Thin Arrow
Serviced Description: NEARMINT condition. Refurbished in Bienne (Omega) with a signed and probably new old stock Omega crown, easy to grip. Sweetly and expertly buffed anti-magnetic and water proof Royal Air Force issue. Heavy slotted back screws down. Anti-magnetic iron core helps protect against anti-magnetism. Fully and properly marked. A new old stock Omega thin arrow dial and hands and probably the signed acrylic crystal were added. All told, almost $1000 cost to the previous owner. Comes with the service/repair/restoration invoice which has matching serial and case numbers and a new nylon one piece strap. Also has a certificate from Omega with some cool facts and the same matching serial and case reference numbers. The Thin Arrow model is the most popular model with fewer made then the Fat Arrow examples. In my opinion, this is the coolest Omega of its kind and it is down to the size, heft and thickness of the case, the military provenance and the sweet, easy to read dials. It is matte black with bright white Arabic numerals, radium dots and white broad arrow skeleton radium hands. The long white center second stands out easily. One of the rarest and most desirable vintage watches on the market today. Measures 37.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$SOLD} Item #6041 |
