Title: Super Cool Early Gotham Radium Dial Wrist Watch

Description: GOOD condition. Wonderful example of an affordable cool vintage gents watch. Probably radium on the Arabic numerals but with nice new luminescent material in the original hands, filled by Wayne who also checked out the 6 jewel Gotham (AS-554) hand wound movement. Swiss watch with a nice three piece case, original dial and long 16 mm genuine lizard skin strap. We'll put something else on there if you don't like it. Checked out by Wayne and regulated. PS. Notice the back which says stainless on the inside and base metal on the outside. Pretty sure they mean that the middle body and bezel are chrome plated base metal and the back is steel. Pretty good size for vintage square of this age. Measures 29 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$145} Item #5820

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Wow! Lucky to find pink watches of any kind and real lucky with bracelets. This is a gentlemen's watch btw, not a ladies watch and the little pink gold filled bracelet will fit a large wrist with the extension out. Most likely, our wrists were much smaller 40 years ago. Would be great for a gal though or medium wristed man. Original dial is aged but looks better in person, much better. This style of Bulova dial is unique with the white Arabic's standing out nicely against the pink background. Wayne has checked this watch out and regulated it. Signed crown. Steel snap on back. The bracelet is an American made Speidel. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$149} Item #5821 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very unusual in that the all steel case is not marked Swiss nor the dial. It is powered by an A. Schild (Swiss made) movement according to Wayne the watchmaker, has 17 jewels and keeps good time. Some light scuffs on the case which has a screw on back. Quick set date which is nice and hard to find on vintage. Probably made in about 1970-75 is my guess. A super sweet Hadley Roma sporting style black leather strap with breathable design is attached. And a steel buckle. Wayne has installed a new crystal. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$129} Item #5845 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Comes with a box, manual and unsigned warranty card and looks perfect in the photos but there are some large scratches on the Titanium Carbide Nitride over steel bracelet from wrist on desk type action and some on the head too, although nothing deep. Nearmint otherwise and taken care of by the previous owner. Wayne has examined it and installed a brand new battery. Modern design with a Japanese quartz movement which features a stepped chronograph second (like a mechanical watch it ticks about 5 times per second instead of just once) and a functional time zone alarm dial which can do either job for you (2nd time zone or alarm), and has four extra links which are unused and have not scuffed. Probably retails for about 4 or 5 hundred. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 50 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$150} Item #5870 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. I think this watch is a few years old as the original owner had it for awhile. Comes with both boxes and manual although the outer thin paper box is a bit tattered. Some scuffs on the bracelet which is made pretty nice Should fit a 7 and 1/2 inch wrist or smaller as it is just a tad too tight as is for my 7 and 5/8ths inch wrist. I think these are genuine diamonds but I have not actually researched this model. It is attractive, looking like a modern full bar Omega Constellation. Japanese Echodrive never needs a battery change. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 1xx mm thick. {$135} Item #5869

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Got this watch a couple of weeks ago and put a new battery inside and watched it. It is keeping really good time so far which seems to be somewhat rare with old Accutron watches. They were the first battery or non-mechanical watches and used a tuning fork for accurate timekeeping. You can hear it humming in a high pitch if you hold it up to your ear. This is a Caliber 214, commonly called a back set as the setting mechanism is on the back. See what the movements look like by clicking on this example of a Bulova Spaceview Accutron. which is a see through version we've sold in the past. No crown. Perfect original gold dial. Lightly scuffed and nicked middle body. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13.5 mm thick. {$169} Item #5756 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. Made by a new company in Connecticut with a good looking and durable design. Japanese quartz movement. Screw down crown. Two extra links and the box with papers included. The carbon fiber dial is pretty sharp. Measures 45 mm wide (not including the crown) x 50 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$199} Item #5792

Description: NEARMINT condition. Rugged plastic and steel combination makes this a lightweight and extremely durable time piece. One owner with original packaging, open warranty booklet and tag. Tritium gas filled tubes illuminate the dial, hands and I think there is one on the timing bezel. 30 meter water resist rating and this is one watch I wouldn't worry about getting wet. This may be a few years old as the dial doesn't seem to light up all that great. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$159} Item #5791

Description: NEARMINT condition. Unused with box, hang tag and papers. This model is fairly large and if you are not familiar with the brand, they are Swiss made and extremely good quality, especially for the money. They are one of those brands that are fairly priced at the retail level and not heavily discounted like some other, over priced watches. Of course, what I like most about this model is that you get two for one! Sweet design. Quartz movement. Also has a nice steel hidden deployant steel bracelet. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 11.5 mm thick. {$199} Item #5626 SOLD

Description: GOOD condition. This is really a cool watch with a fantastic original dial in two colors and large fancy case even though it is chrome and has wear on the lug tops. The back is steel and snaps in place. Wire lugs with an expensive open ended strap from Hirsch attached. Runs great, keeps good time, is shock protected (Incabloc) and is probably late 40's or early 1950's. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$165} Item #5707

Description: GOOD condition. Very old watch with a great dial and hands which have left a little burn on the dial from sitting in one position for several years. Late 1930's or early 40's I think. In good condition with four small screws holding the back onto the middle body. Waterproof at the time, shock protected and anti-magnetic. Made for a man but at that time wrist watches were much smaller as is this one. Measures 29.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34.5 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$155} Item #5729

Description: MINT condition. Unused condition. Chrome plated middle body with a slotted screw on steel back which is marked 5 atm's. Swiss made but I can't get the back off to see what movement is inside. They are hand wound, shock resistant and have 17 jewels. We have three of these with one of them having a super fine scuff on the back and one or two showing light age on the chrome plating which surrounds the tritium markers. This is one of them in these photos but I can't see it at all without a loupe. These close-ups make it (the aged chrome) stand out. Bi-directional divers bezel. All keep good time. I've checked them on the timing machine and by setting and watching. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$159} Item #5765 ONLY ONE LEFT!

Description: NEARMINT condition. We are known for under grading and rarely use NEARMINT when describing vintage watches because they practically don't exist. Some dealers call every watch they sell near mint even though the original finish has been lost to buffing and the dial has been repainted/refinished. This watch is almost new old stock but was owned by a collector and has not been worn much with no signs of wear at all, only a faint scuff or tiny nick if you look very close. Original brushed gold plated finish over steel with a water proof style screw on back and high grade Tissot automatic movement. Click on the image to the left for close-up photos. Original mint dial, crystal, signed crown and old style quick set date. Move the hour hand past midnight, back to nine and repeat. One of our finest and most comfortable Hadley Roma brown soft leather straps (MS 886) is attached with a matching gold plated over steel sport style buckle. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$185} Item #5719 HOLD

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

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 HOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Can't bargain price Mido watches as they are Omega's unrecognized little sister in my opinion. What I mean is that they, like Omega had many innovations and made their own automatic modules to go on their A. Schild hand wound movements, had nice early waterproof automatic watches and also many technical inventions like the water proofing crown system which uses natural cork instead of rubber. The benefit is that the cork swells if contacted with water completely sealing the stem area from the outside. All stainless steel with a screw on back and original plain silvered dial. No lum. This is an Incabloc shock protected, anti-magnetic Mido in decent condition with a dinged up crown but otherwise fully usable and keeping good time. We have installed a nice Hadley Roma dark brown strap with ss buckle. This is small enough for a lady to wear but they were considered a gents watch and sold as such 70 years ago when this was made. PS. Could also be late 1930's. Measures 29 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$169} Item #5730

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Really good looking watch with a fairly rare porcelain dial and good sized all steel case. Three hairline cracks on the dial or this would easily get a lot more money. Check out this model from our free vintage price guide which sold recently. Click here. The slotted screw on back covers a 15j center second shock protected hand wound Enicar (A. Schild Caliber 1188) which has been gone through and checked out by Wayne the watchmaker. A new old stock lizard strap looks great with this cool dial. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12.5 mm thick. {$169} Item #5201

Description: NEARMINT condition. Sweet watch which looks and wears way better than this low price might lead you to believe. The pink gold plated steel case and bracelet have few light scuffs if any and the ETA 25 jewel movement has a gorgeous decorated rotor. Also, the crown screws down and the crystals are sapphire. Croton's branding is is problem, otherwise I can see a nice watch like this retailing for about $600 and selling on the pre-owned market for about $375 or so. Grab it quick if you like the style. Very heavy. Double deployant bracelet clasp. Fits an 8 inch wrist or smaller. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 50 mm long x 11.5 mm thick. {$189} Item #5529

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice affordable one piece water and dust resistant automatic watch from the 1960's. I purchased this from my watchmaker Wayne who has gone through it. It is Swiss made and runs great and looks great with some pitting on the back and several light nicks all over. Not an issue except for aesthetics. A cool inexpensive shark type vintage strap from his old stock is attached but if you would like a nice Hadley Roma we can put one on it for you. Signed crown and truly a one piece case with no bezel or back, all one single part. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$129} Item #5654 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a really cool transitional watch made before quartz and half mechanical. The Landeron Caliber 4750 movement uses a battery to power the traditional balance wheel/assembly and so this watch/second hand ticks like a mechanical. A dark rose gold plated case with a steel back. Very nice condition but the photos show some wear through down on the edge of the bezel but I can't see this with the naked eye at all. Only with magnification or in these close up photos. This is a decent size and fairly thick and heavy. Nice original dial shows a little age and cool mildly darkened lightning bolt hands. Our watchmaker Wayne has gone through this (checked it out for problems) and put a new battery in. It runs a little fast because modern batteries are a bit different in power output. About 15-30 seconds a day. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$190} Item #5621

Description: GOOD condition. This unusual brand is marked Hialeah on the dial and O. Maire Inc. on the case and the 7 jewel hand wound movement. Screw back is steel while the rest of it is chrome plated. There is some wear to the high points and on the bezel. Perfect dial and original numerals. Hands have been painted up by a European watchmaker. Runs fine and keeps good time. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$109} Item #5533

Description: FAIR/GOOD condition. This old watch has been in Europe all its life until now. The black dial is original and in good condition with cool very dark radium Arabic numerals. Recently freshened up with white in the hands. Runs fine and has a base metal middle body which has lost all its chrome. Oversized subsidiary seconds dial. Dial looks better in person than these photos show. Unusual military style, 1940's time piece. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$109} Item #5532

Title: Very Nice Looking Pink Benrus w/Matching Expansion Bracelet

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Great example of a well made affordable vintage pink tank style Benrus. Excellent pink gold filled case and original pink bracelet which is hard to find. Not signed but none of them ever were, expansion bracelets like this. Jewelers usually sold them or a strap along with the watch from their own inventory. A little bit of wear on it but they are rare in pink. Original dial and glass crystal. That is a black mark at around 5 and 6 and a lighter one around 12. The curved shadow on the left is from my photography dome camera hole and is seen in a lot of photos from the angle. From a local watchmakers estate here in Missouri. Runs great. Measures 21 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$139} Item #5547 SOLD
