Poljot Hand Wound Chronograph {$109} HOLD
Title: Seiko Quartz Chronograph w/Box

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Nice good beater or fun watch as it should be pretty darn water and dust resistant. Says 100 meters so, that should mean a real tight watch. Not real sure how old this is but the box looks like an older style. One thing I have noticed for the first time is a neat case design which Seiko has incorporated into a high grade diashock "japan only" market. I'll show you one in a day or two. They have an extra layer of steel on top of the lugs which is brushed in contrast to the high polish on the rest of the lug. Anyway, I forgot to have Wayne put in a new battery so this will be ready after I see him next week. One extra link too. Some scuffs and a scratch or two on the polished bezel also. Just noticed that the subsidiary dial at six is another two hand watch dial, for second time zones I guess. Pretty cool. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$129} Item #5945

Title: Pre-Owned Hamilton Khaki, Quartz

Description: VERYGOOD condition. These are great watches which are still very much like the old Vietnam era military issue watches Hamilton and Benrus put out in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Parkerized steel cases with screw on backs and easy to read black and white dials. Powered by a Swiss made ETA 955.122 which Wayne has looked over and installed a new battery into. The strap is a Hadley Roma and has been worn briefly. Box included. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$119} Item #5953 HOLD

Title: Nice Military Issue Waltham Ordinance Department AS FOUND

Description: VERYGOOD condition. A great looking watch even though the case has been buffed heavily in the past and the dial refinished (not by us). The crown and low profile glass crystal probably are not original either but our affordable price reflects that. Runs great and has been checked on the timing machine for accuracy. A nice new Hadley Roma 881 oil tan strap in the new saddle color is attached along with a stainless steel buckle. Measures 31.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$245} Item #5616 {$199} TAKE OFF 15%

Title: Reconditioned British Military Issue CWC Broad Arrow

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Purchased a few of these overseas from a military wholesaler and needing new batteries and crystals when they arrived but apparently these were issued, returned by the soldier after tour of duty and sold to the wholesale buyer, so some could have seen action. Heavy parkerized steel cases with fixed lugs, acrylic crystals and Swiss quartz movements. New nylon straps included. Limited supply. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$179} Item #5678 TAKE OFF 15%

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. {$189} Item #5529 TAKE OFF 20%

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 SOLD

Title: Pre-Owned Citizen Echodrive w/Diamonds

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 TAKE OFF 20%

Title: Traser Code Blue Tritium Quartz Diver

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 SOLD

Title: Large European Market Onsa Hand Wind

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 TAKE OFF 20%

Title: Early 1940's SS Mido Multifort Super Automatic AS FOUND

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 TAKE OFF 15%

Title: Nice Hand Wound Porcelain Dial Enicar Sport

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 SOLD

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. {$129} Item #5654 SOLD

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. {$190} Item #5621 TAKE OFF 20%

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. {$109} Item #5533 TAKE OFF 15%

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 {$129} TAKE OFF 10%

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. {$109} Item #5532 TAKE OFF 15%

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

Title: Rare One of a Kind WWI Military Collar Disk/Shirt Button Fob

Description: NEARMINT condition. Top is a button from an enlisted mans jacket or shirt, next is a collar disk which stands for 5th infantry, company I. Last item another collar disk. All made into a watch fob and very unique and cool. Superb condition. Never seen one. Disks measure 26 mm wide and the entire fob is about 4 and 1/2 inches long, not including the chain. {$149} Item #4480
