Title:
Big Heavy Pink Croton, Swiss Made Automatic
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.

Title:
Affordable Stainless Steel Wittnauer Automatic
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.

Title:
NIB Hamilton Khaki Quartz
Description:
MINT condition. Unused with the original plastic having
protected it until I took these pics. The bead blasted case and bracelet
are comfortable on the wrist and this watch is just the right size, not
too big or too small. Cool blue dial. Highly visible luminescent hands
and numeral also. Comes with the original box and papers and retails for
about $350 from what I can see online. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 47 mm long x 10 mm thick.

Title:
Unusual Rose Gruen Electra
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.

Title:
Unusual Euro Hialeah Brand Mil Style
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.

Title:
Hand Wound Sub Second Longines Circa 1958
AS FOUND
Description:
GOOD condition. Smaller and thinner this nice Longines wrist
watch has a signed three piece snap together steel case, good Longines
Caliber 19.4 hand wound movement and ugly re-finished dial. It is shock
protected which is a nice upgrade for a vintage time piece, most are
not. Runs fine and has a new Hadley Roma thin dark brown leather strap
attached. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 43 mm long x 9 mm thick.

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. Item #4620

Title:
European Black Dial Mimo Mil Style Wire Lug
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.

Title:
Pre-Owned Hamilton Everest
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Nice watch which retails for $445 from what
I can gather. This one is a few years old and the original owner paid
$270 so today's price is a real bargain! Some light scuffs on the head
and clasp but pretty nice overall. Quartz movement. Original box and
papers including signed warranty card (March of 2001). Blue rubber strap
is soft and supple. Sapphire crystal. Measures 31 mm wide at the
top of the asymmetrical steel case x 41 mm long x 10 mm thick.

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.

Title:
14k Yellow Gold Phillips 66 Lord Elgin Auto
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Absolutely the least expensive solid
yellow gold Swiss made automatic you can find on the net today. Good
watches with fairly lightweight one piece cases and high grade automatic
or self winding movements. Made in the early 1970's at the very end of
Elgin's life. Inscription and some small dings on the back.
Nearmint/mint original dial. Old style quick set date works by moving
the hour hand past midnight, back to nine and repeating. Keeps decent
time and a real bargain! Crown is probably a replacement and is easy to
grip. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick.
