Title: Seiko Sealion Day Date 26j "Week Dater" Automatic w/Box

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Cool watch found at a local flea market. Not yet cleaned externally or otherwise. Runs and keeps time but priced for an un-serviced vintage watch. 26 jewels. Dia-shock weekdater. Original box is marked sealion also and has a little cloth. Gray dial is fantastic. Some age on day part of day/date calendar. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$99} Item #4697 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition.  Automatic alarm watches are rare and always expensive. It is a lot of "works" to jam into one movement. This model is a rare Japan only 27j version with a rotating inner bezel for the light pleasant alarm ring which is purely mechanical. In other words inside the case is a small hammer and long metal gong. No auxiliary wind as it is not needed with the highly efficient auto movement. Winding the crown as usual does add power to the alarm barrel though. To set the alarm pull the crown out to the second increment and turn counter clockwise. Push the crown back in and wind fully (for the alarm power) then pull out the button at two. When the alarm sounds you can push that button in to silence it. The day of the month does not quick set but the day of the week will change fast in the old style which is to turn the crown past midnight then back to nine and then repeat. Runs fine and has its original bracelet. Would carry a strap well also. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$325} Item #4924 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Japan made 7000-700J automatic diver with screw down crown and original steel bracelet which is large enough for an 8 inch wrist. Runs fine and is in very nice condition. The refinished dial is nice and some of my Seiko buddies have informed me that the bezel insert is aftermarket. May not be all original but it is still a good price for a well made automatic diver. Measures 48 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$135} Item #4884 SOLD

Title: Big Seiko 6138 Bullhead Chronograph 

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very large and heavy with a superb black and blue dial. Some scuffs on the case and some nicks on the edge of the bezel. This style of Seiko will hand wind from the crown but it is rarely needed as the automatic movements are very efficient. Quick set day and date. The Seiko bracelet appears to be from a later time to me and is only large enough to fit a 7 and 1/4 inch wrist. Measures 44 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 17 mm thick. {$275} Item #4600 SOLD

Title: New Old Stock 1972 Seiko 7016-5000

Description: PRISTINE MINT condition. Basically untouched except for a handful of hard to find and very faint handling scuffs. Sold to the original owner at the PX in Hong Kong for about $60 US. That receipt, not shown is included. This is a small watch for all its functions and a very attractive design to say the least. By far the best arrangement for a chronograph is to utilize two or more functions per dial, if a clean uncluttered look is desired. This is achieved with the only sub dial at six. The white portion and black hand count hours up to twelve. Outside of that is another rectangular chapter in orange for 30/60 minutes. It is a 30 minute recorder. The large center second hand is the 60 second recorder. No usual seconds as is common. English day/date is quick set by pushing in on the crown. Also shows Roman numerals for each day of the week, I for Monday and VI for Saturday for instance. Dark green color almost looks black in person but changes in light. Automatic movement ticks with little motion. Best mid-sized to small chronograph design by Seiko by far and in the best possible condition. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$575} Item #4689 SOLD

Title: Nice Big Vintage Vulcain Alarm

Description: GOOD condition. Vintage Vulcain alarm watches are becoming more and more collectible and hard to find. In-house hand wound movements of this nature (with complications) are highly sought after. This piece has a gold plated top/middle body and a double steel back. The original dial does have some spots but these are not as "glaring" as the close-up photo indicates. Some of the gold plating is worn off of the alarm push button at 2. There are a few scuffs and light/small nicks too. These alarms are very loud and robust, setting by turning the normal crown after pushing in the button at two. The hands/time sets by pulling out the crown and turning backwards or counter clockwise. In addition, the watch winds backwards to power the mainspring and forward for the alarm. An unusual watch, reasonably priced with a brand new Hadley Roma genuine lizard skin strap in brown.

Title: Attractive Black and White Dial Wakmann Chronograph

Description: GOOD condition. We have been lucky to find several black and white dial chronos recently. This color combination is very popular and they have all sold quickly.

Title: Neat Multi Colored Dial Wakmann Chronograph Mechanic's Special

You can wear it like this but one will eventually need to replace the crystal. High grade Lemania Caliber 1341 automatic (rare) chronograph movement works fine and has two hands on the center pinion. Quick set date and day of the week inner rotating bezel (crown at 10). The large and heavy gold plated case has a steel snap on back and some age spots at the 1 area.

Title: 1960's Black and White Wakmann Triple Date Triple Register Chrono

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Sweet! Can you imagine what a watch like this would cost if new? I contend that these Valjoux 72C/730 vintage movements have MORE value than new models. Triple date, triple register vintage chronographs are skyrocketing in value, except for this particular watch. These cool Daytona style dialed chronos are still marketed at the same levels as two years ago. Within 10% anyway. A good investment grade timepiece with some buffing and a mint original dial. Extra sharp movement too. New crystal, signed crown. Runs fine but remember that one must NOT set any of the date functions on this watch while the the hands are between 9pm and 4am. Runs fine and all of the functions work properly. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$1399} Item #4475 SOLD

It has been fully serviced, oiled and timed about a year ago and the 18k solid gold case lightly buffed. These are sometimes seen in 14k gold but seldom 18k. In fact, I have never seen another.

Title: 1945 Military Issue Waltham A-11 Navigational Mechanic's Special

The back has all of the correct ordinance marks including AF for Air Force, U.S. Army and dates to 1944. The 16j American made movement works but the watchmaker says it needs help. Parts maybe plus service. The dial is original and is real nice to look at in its simplicity. The hands are not hollow with luminescent material filled in but painted solid. Unlike the skeletal hands seen on Army watches the Air force thought this method might reduce the chance of crumbling particles falling through, getting into the movement. A nice new green canvas strap with a silver buckle is attached. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$99} Item #3758 SOLD

Title: 1944 Military Issue "Ord Dept" Waltham

Description: GOOD condition. This is a darn good military timepiece for the money. Quite a bit of a price reduction is given because of the appearance of the chrome plated middle body. It goes well with the age of this 60 year old watch. Waterproof design with a special dust cover for the movement and waterproof screw back (with rubber seal) and crown (also with seals). Of course, a vintage piece should never be submerged, in my opinion. Original dial is rare as most are unsigned or say only Waltham, not Waltham and 17 jewels. Fade marks in the shape of the hands which appear to have been refilled fairly recently with luminescent material. Keeps very good time and has a super cool old stock leather strap in brand new condition. It is fairly long too. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$145} {$79} Item #3602  SOLD RS

Title: Nice 17j Waltham Military Issue Circa 1944

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Although this is a chrome plated case it is one of the best mil watches made at that time with a high grade, non-hacking American made movement (see photo), a dust cover for it and a dust and water resistant screw on back. The condition is outstanding with no loss of chrome to speak of, an original crown and a real cool original dial. The hands are original and perfect as are the Arabic numerals. It runs fine, keeping very good time and has a neat old style military canvas strap which was an improved version made to hold the watch on the strap if one spring bar would happen to snap. The ORD Dept. and OF markings on the back designate this as a watch issued to ground troops during the war. It measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$175} Item #3757 SOLD CS

Title: WWII Waltham A-11 Military Issue Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Except for some of the chrome missing on the base metal middle body this is in very nice condition. The screw back and screw on bezel have a coin edge grip and are nearly perfect. The back has all of the correct ordinance marks including AF for Air Force and 45 signifying a 1945 date which matches the serial number of the 16j, hack second American made movement. The dial is original, perfect and is a real pleasure to look at in its simplicity. You might notice that the hands are not hollow with luminescent material filled in but solid with a painted luminescent. Unlike the skeletal hands seen on Army watches the Air force thought this method might reduce the chance of crumbling particles falling through, getting into the movement. It runs great, keeps good time and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. A nice new black leather strap is attached. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$195} Item #3595 SOLD CR

Description: EXCELLENT condition. These watches are very popular with this special dial. They are also very hard to find, especially in good condition. Hardly a spot of wear on the three part steel case. The back and bezel have knurled edges and screw on to the middle body. I believe the crown is original or at least, from the era. The original dial is fantastic on this Korean War military timepiece and the movement, which is a hack set, made in the USA Waltham, has 17 jewels and is keeping good time. The canvas strap is appropriate for the times and may even be original as it is quite a bit different from what we see on these watches these days as replacements. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$289} Item #3813 SOLD RS NETHERLANDS

Title: 1942 Military Issue Waltham A-11

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This watch is a little older than most mil issue A-11's we get. It has a chrome plated middle body and integral bezel which is in average condition and a steel screw on back with all the ordinance markings. According to the back of the watch and the serial number this piece was manufactured and issued in 1942. The 17j Waltham hand wound movement is a hack model which means that when you pull the crown out to set the watch the second hand stops. This original black dial is perfect although it is hard to see just how nice it is in the photo. You might notice that the hands are not hollow with luminescent material filled in but solid with a painted luminescent. Unlike the skeletal hands seen on Army watches the Air force thought this method might reduce the chance of crumbling particles falling through, getting into the movement. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$179} Item #3768 SOLD JSG

Title: Nice Curved Waltham Premier

Description: Nicely refinished dial and an above average gold filled case with stepped sides. Unusual model dating to the late 1930's. What is really rare about this piece is that it is signed Premier on the refinished dial, inside of the case and on the American made 17j movement. The watchmaker found a new old stock curved glass crystal for this piece, so the crystal is period and mint.  This is a unique vintage timepiece at a very reasonable price. A high grade genuine lizard skin strap is attached. Measures 23 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$175} Item #3356 SOLD RK

Title: Rare 14k White Gold Waltham Open Frame Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. This is a wonderful and rare watch. The shape, the condition for the age (1926), the size and the overall appearance all document the horological significance of a scarcely found (not the more popular Hamilton Piping Rock) American made Deco wristwatch.

The solid gold case has a snap back, moving hinges and has been buffed lightly. It is in superb condition.

Title: Rare 1950's Zell Brothers Stainless Steel "Turtle" Automatic

Description: VERYGOOD condition. If you want to collect and wear a vintage automatic wristwatch you should concentrate on at least these two factors. Case material and rarity. I prefer steel to all else with gold next and gold filled last simply because of the durable quality of steel. It will not wear down like gold or gold filled cases. And it can be buffed although it is quite an endeavor and requires a professional. Rarity is important for any vintage purchase as it is less likely that you will see your watch on some one else's wrist and if you decide to sell the demand is greater for hard to find items. These watches were made by E. Borel and retailed in the north west (Seattle) by a well known jewelry store. As you can see by clicking on the image to the left this Felsa base caliber movement has a unique regulator which is explained on the inside of the signed screw back. It is a cool piece with a date and it is affordable. Even the black strap is probably original (unsigned) to the times. Large for the genre and having a very nice two-tone original dial. Also, it is keeping very good time (less than 5 seconds error per 24hrs according to the timing machine). Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$199} Item #3772 SOLD JS

Title: Rare and Fine German Air Force Pilot's "Zenith Special" Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Boy, I sure do hate to see this watch leave the shop. I have been enjoying the unique look, beautiful movement and gorgeous black porcelain dial. This original late 1920's pilot's watch does have two small areas of repair on the dial, one by four and one smaller repair by 10. They are pretty hard to see at all with the naked eye. Original glass crystal is sweet as are the original hands. Nice chrome plated case with a screw on bezel and screw on back.

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Sweet mint Caliber 86 automatic movement does not appear to have ever been serviced.  The rubber seal has liquefied and this also indicates that the watch has not ever been serviced or even opened in all these years.

Description: NEARMINT condition. Although we use nearmint it is mainly because of the original finish and original state. There is wear on the head and bracelet from shop/dealer/collector handling. Small nicks can be seen on the top and bottom edge of the case and small scuffs all over. Sweet watch to wear but with a short bracelet. Probably not missing links though as we were smaller then, less fat for sure and these watches all had smaller integral bracelets than we expect today.

Title: Two Register Zodiac White on Black Chronograph

Title: Unusual Zodiac Seawolf Serviced

Description: GOOD condition. We don't see this design often and my guess is that this is a transitional piece from the old round style seawolf diver watches to the next generation cushion case "Super Sea Wolf" deep diver which was a great dive watch btw. It is a nice piece except for some pitting on the back. It is an automatic and runs fine. The day/date is different and unusual on the original dial. The day quick-sets with a push of the spring loaded crown and this is a hack set movement which is pretty rare.

Title: Vintage Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Deep Diver

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Mint original dial and good bezel but there is some air under parts of it. Signed bracelet may be more modern as it just seems incorrect to me for a vintage dive watch although it does have a diver's extension and it is also well made with solid comfortable links. It is just long enough to fit my 7 and 1/2 inch wrist. This piece was professionally restored sometime in the past as evidenced by the new, perfect surface on the middle body. It isn't buffed but almost looks like it was bead blasted. A very nice job. This is an automatic with a mineral glass crystal which is held firmly in place with the steel screw down ring (most crystals are pressure fitted). Rated to 75 atms. One atm is 33 feet of water pressure. Measures 44 mm wide (not including the crown) x 50 mm long x 16 mm thick. {$575} Item #3706 SOLD CMD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. A nice solid 18k gold mesh bracelet. Marked 18k but nothing else.

It measures 18 mm wide 5 and 5/8ths inches long and weighs 35 grams which is over one ounce and at today's gold price, well you can figure it out. This is below market value for a gold bracelet. {$440} Item #4660 SOLD

Title: Cool Diver w/World Time Bezel, German Made

Description: NEARMINT condition. Nice watch with a screw back (one tool mark/scratch) and a nearmint body, dial and world time bezel. The hand wound movement is not marked Swiss but has a Swiss Army style cross inside a shield under the balance (normal location for original manufactures ID).  L.U.C. is one maker with this mark along with Lowe und Schlange or possibly Lorsa.

This one is only for the wrist and has its original solid 10k gold expansion link bracelet which is very very rare. The Buren/Imperial movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. Hot dog link expansion bracelets are rare but solid gold bracelets in this style are almost non-existent.

Title: Interesting and Rare 1920's Silver Plated Hunting Cased Form Watch Designed as a Golf Ball

Description: GOOD condition. Patented in 1924 by James Reichenberg of London this unusual "golf ball" watch employs a spring loaded cover which opens by depressing the button at four. The spring mechanism is still strong and the lid snaps open with authority. The large and well made Swiss case is marked Argente or Silver Plated. It has a more modern, slightly aged wild boar strap made for wire lug watches and is powered by the original unsigned hand wound 15j Swiss movement in good running condition. The case has a cuvette or dust cover (see pics/click on image at left) and a hinged, snap on back which mimics the Reichenberg design on the front. The original idea was as a small pocket watch but as wrist watches became more popular some were converted with wire lugs added. The "crown guard" is actually the neck where a pocket watch bow would have fit before the conversion. The white porcelain dial is perfect and has gorgeous Arabic numerals in black with blued steel hands. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 18 mm thick. {$875} Item #3947 SOLD TO RS

Title: One of a Kind Long Curved Antique 14k Yellow Gold Doctor's Watch Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. One of the finest "tank" shaped watches I have ever owned or seen. It is early, probably 1930's and very long at 45 mm. It is a split dial or dual dial watch and in near perfect condition with the original brushed sides and glass crystal. The crown looks like a replacement and the dial has definitely been refinished some time ago. Finally, this is no lightweight case. It is thick and hefty with over 20 grams of 14k gold, not including the movement (most gold cases of this type weigh 8-12 grams at most). The watchmaker stated that he had not seen a back as thick and heavy as this. There are no markings except .585 (14k percentage mark). Doctor watches are very expensive with gold filled models selling for similar prices (Hamilton Sekron, Gruen Doctors etc). It has an old hand wound Swiss made Fontainemelon Caliber 53 and it has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. It carries a new old stock lizard strap but I like this piece so much I have been wearing it some so the strap shows some mild wear. Measures 23 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$1350} Item #4138 SOLD MS

Title: Extra Nice Vintage "Up/Down" Chronograph

This one is really nice with a fine case, nice looking clean (Venus) Swiss made movement and an awesome original dial. It works perfectly, keeping very good time according to our timing machine and resetting exactly to zero as it should. Although the back says stainless steel in French it appears that the case middle body and bezel is made of typical chrome plated material. This outstanding old chrono is a great investment considering the gorgeous dial and the overall condition. It carries a brand new high grade Hirsch Rainbow series brown leather strap. It measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$299} Item #4140  SOLD RS, NETHERLANDS

Title: 1920's Ladies Platinum over 18k Gold w/Diamonds

Title: Hand Made and One of a Kind Watch School Vintage Chrono Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. This beautiful steel chronograph was made by student #932 aka Werner Siegrist in the winter of 1963. The school was UHRMACHERSCHULE Solothurn or Solothurn Watchmakers School in Switzerland which is what it says on the perfect (refinished) dial. The unique two piece steel case is held together with four well placed screws (back of the lugs). The best part of this watch is the one of a kind Valjoux SA Caliber 23 chronograph movement. It is unique because the screwed balance was hand made by Werner. It has a Breguet hairspring and is Incabloc shock protected. The escapement axle was also hand made along with the stem. The surface of the bridges/plates were decorated with a special finish and with the students number. The movement was timed to with-in chronometer grade time at the school.

Title: Rare Waltham Pocket Watch w/Frosted Movement Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This area of pocket watch collecting is wide open and could be a lot of fun for a collector. The genre? Unusual and scarce movements with non-typical attributes. Unusual demaskeening or frosted plates like this 15j full nickel plated Waltham model 1883 made in about 1888. Frosted finishes are also rarely found on the old gold colored movements. Also notice the twin gold banking pin screws, attractive blued plate screws, cut bi-metallic oversized screw balance, screwed down chatons or jewel settings, fancy micro adjustment star regulator and pretty star shaped etching (demaskeening). This is a two piece swing out case. It is a little more resistant to moisture and dust than three part screw bezel, screw back cases. It is also of original manufacture with the patented trademark star and crescent. These cases by themselves are valuable. It is smooth on the back with no markings. I believe it is completely original which is rare for any pocket watch this old. The original single sunk porcelain dial has two short hairlines and one long one from the subsidiary seconds dial out to about the two. The others are almost invisible below the sub dial. All are very faint. Stem wound and stem set. Original thick beveled glass crystal. This is an 18 size American and measures 58 mm wide 20 mm thick. {$440} Item #4822 SOLD

Title: Big Key Wind/Key Set Early American Waltham Pocket Watch

Description: GOOD condition. Like most watches this old we are pretty sure this has been used quite a bit. This watch was made in 1878 which makes it almost 130 years old. Nice undamaged original single sunk porcelain dial. Original well worn silverode case. Nice and original Waltham Broadway movement with 7 jewels, blue screws and a key wound mainspring. Use another key to set the hands from the front, on the center pinion. See the square peg? Runs and keeps time but may need a service as the balance is a big sluggish. Measures 57 mm wide and is an 18s American. {$200} Item #4639 SOLD

Description: GOOD condition. This is one of the nicest 18s pocket watches I have ever seen or owned. As you know, pocket watches are usually discussed and graded in three parts. This unique display or salesman's sample case is very rare in an 18s and with hinged front and back. It has nice "old stock" thick glass crystals on each hinged lid. This is a lever set time piece which means you must pry open the front bezel (ring around the crystal) at the lip seen at the 5 and then pull out the lever, also at the 5. Then you can simply turn the crown to set the hands. Although the case is original to itself (not made up of parts) it is not original to this dial and movement as they are for a hunters case. Hunter cased watches have the 3 at the crown. The best part of this watch is the Circa 1889 blue screw frosted Appleton, Tracy and Co. movement. It also has rare square demaskeening (light engraving, gold jewel settings (some model 83's have brass), gold banking pin screws, a large screw balance and blue plate screws and chatons. It runs great, keeping good time. The single sunk porcelain dial is extra fancy but does have one long crack from 11 to 7. Measures 56 mm wide x 20 mm thick. {$575} Item #4870 SOLD

Runs good and has a nice original porcelain dial with a few light hairlines. Lever set at the five. Measures 43 mm wide. {$290} Item #5482 SOLD
