Title:
Small Steel Croton Aquamatic, Early Waterproof
AS FOUND
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. I can't sell this watch for nuthin'.
What brought this on, you might say? Well, I have a lot of this type of
watch from two decades of collecting and the fact is that they don't get
much money, so I seldom list them. Way undervalued, probably because of
size. Tank watches are small and they seem to sell fairly well but this
is a much better watch. All steel, not gold filled like most tanks.
Water and dust proof design and it is an automatic. Early (1940's) shock
protected bumper wind. You can feel it bump up agin' its springs. Bought
from an old watchmaker who previously serviced the watch. Fantastic
unbuffed condition. Look at the back. Click on the image to the left for
close-up photos. Nearmint original dial with most of the old lum
(radium?) intact. Original hands. Acrylic crystal. The strap is a long
gray pigskin, well worn but original. We will be happy to include a nice
new strap at your request. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Big Trias Exploding Numeral 25j Automatic
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Nice watch with a Swiss made movement

moved some operations to Switzerland. Daniel Leisser was the
owner/operator of Trias when I sold the brand and I am glad he has some
nice Swiss made watches as most were Chinese previously. Comes with its
original small box. A slightly used large French made genuine lizard
skin strap is attached. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 52 mm long x 13 mm thick.

Swiss made watch. Not a quick set date. Side note: Arctic is often

Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Nice late 1960's all steel bowl shaped
waterproof (at the time) automatic. Non quick set date. Original dial.

automatics. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the

Title:
Small Swiss Made "Florence Miller"
Mechanical Alarm
Serviced
Description:
GOOD condition. We just serviced the Swiss made A. Schild
Caliber 1475 hand wound alarm movement on this vintage time piece. It
works great but has been used enough to show most of the gold plated
parts well worn (on the head). Base metal middle body with a steel back.
Original era gold plated and steel bracelet. Original dial say's
Florence Miller at the top. She was a beloved Newfoundland author and
poet in the early 20th century and I am unsure how her name got on this
dial. Two explanations come to mind. This "line" from the manufacturer
was a Florence Miller line or I suppose the watch could have been hers
as she lived until 1979 dying at the age of 89. Could be another
Florence Miller altogether. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick.

much more in better condition. Swiss made, undervalued brand with a high
grade automatic Swiss movement. Hardened ceramic case and cool embossed
steel back. Quick set with diamond dial and newer crystal. Original
bracelet is medium to small. Runs fine but the fair rating comes from
the non-original crystal and some wear on the back edges of the ceramic

need to wind this watch with its automatic movement. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick.
