Title: Nice SS Seiko 6117-6010 Navigator

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice original dial and inner rotating bezel. All original with lots of nicks and scratches which Wayne has buffed lightly along with the crystal. He has also checked the movement for accuracy and problems, if any. Click here for a better description of what this does. It is keeping excellent time and has been regulated by our watchmaker. Also comes with a Seiko bracelet which appears original and you may choose a leather strap from our Accessories page if you like. Measures 41 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$289} Item #5920

Title: Pink Gold and Steel Vintage Black Starr and Gorham Movado

Description: GOOD condition. Late 30's or early 1940's with a solid pink gold bezel and thick pink gold caps on the lugs and a pink gold filled crown, the original. Mid-sized watch by today's standards but normal sized at the time.  Made for men and water proof, dust proof and anti-magnetic at  the time with its double back or dust cover, if you will. The dial is fantastic and original. Even the three hands and the Arabic numerals are pink in color. Black Starr and Gorham were retailers. A brand new Hadley Roma oil tan padded brown strap is included. Keeps good time. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$329} Item #5847

Title: Beautiful 10k Solid Gold Hamilton Masterpiece Thin-o-matic

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Solid yellow gold with a nicely done inscription on the back. All one piece. No screw on or snap on back, or bezel. Drop the movement in through the front, install the crystal, stem and crown and your done. Once worn with a bracelet and we can see four tiny bracelet end piece marks on the inside of the lugs. Otherwise, like new. Original silvered dial with solid gold markers. Fully self winding Hamilton Caliber 623 automatic movement has been completely checked out by Wayne the watchmaker and regulated. Signed Hamilton crown. New Hadley Roma strap. Measures 33.8 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$235} Item #5907 HOLD

Title: Sweet 25j Oris Classic

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Not a brand new watch and nothing but the head here (no boxes etc) so could be 10 years old or so, not sure. Modern but seems to have some age to it. No wear on the gold plated case or extra nice original dial which is two toned and has a vintage appearance with the lum dots and beige/silvered color. Display back shows the usual but expensive and decorated/modified by Oris ETA 25j full rotor, shock protected automatic. Runs great, is mid-sized for modern stuff and comes with a brand new Hadley Roma saddle or tan color leather dress strap. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$229} Item #5864 SOLD

Title: Extra Nice Benrus Double Date Pointer w/Box

Description: EXCELLENT condition. These small or medium (for vintage) sized watches are a great start for collectors who wish to focus on "complications". Mechanical movements with additional functions, besides telling time, are more difficult to design and build. So much so, that one of the ultimate complications which we take for granted now, the automatic chronograph, was not even invented until the 1960's. See one of these in this example of a Heuer/Buren micro-rotor. Heuer Carrera. Anyway, this is a good AFFORDABLE place to start your collection. This Benrus is original with some superficial age on the two part gold plated and stainless steel (snap on back) case, super nice original two tone silvered and beige dial, clean working Benrus hand wound movement with quick set day of the month hand (push in crown) and day of the week at noon. A new DeBeer Paris 16 mm strap and a Benrus box from the shop which matches the era (about 1950) is also included. The box is missing the small red velvet insert. Measures 30.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 11.5 mm thick. {$269} Item #5914 SOLD

Title: Vintage Stainless Steel Seiko Navigator GMT Automatic

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Sweet vintage sport watch with Seiko's highly efficient automatic movement. No winding is necessary and to emphasize that fact Seiko did not include auxiliary winding or crown winding like most watches. Just pick one of these up and they start running from the movement of the rotor. This has a rotating inner bezel for timing or a 2nd time zone application. The GMT hand in red is a 24hr hand and makes one revolution per day, not two like the hour hand. Quick set date too which is nice on vintage watches as most don't have it. Original dial and hands. The red is on the red and blue inner bezel is a bit faded. A brand new Hadley Roma 892 self lined leather strap is included but you may choose another style from our Accessories page if you like. Measures 41 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$269} Item #5883 HOLD

Title: Cool "Super Waterproof" Chronographe Suisse Diver

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Signed Progress on the original black and silver dial this divers chronograph says super waterproof, all stainless steel, 100 meters tested and Swiss made on the slotted screw on back. Check out the little fish and diver also. Wayne our watchmaker has checked it over but I lost the little paper he makes for me and the back is pretty tight. I might get him to check it out again later but I bet this has a Landeron movement. Landeron made movements for a lot of Swiss makers, even some great companies like Breitling. Wayne has also glued the timing bezel in place as it was a bit too lose for my taste and this fix will keep it from getting sloppy or falling off. It is firmly attached but just won't rotate like originally designed. Tritium lumed dial is in great shape but the quality is only decent, not top end like Omega or Breitling. This is a 30 minute chronograph with normal seconds at nine. Big, sturdy, all steel, waterproof in its time, and a chrono! No screw down crown and i wouldn't swim in it myself to be honest but some vintage divers chronograph watches can be well over a thousand bucks these days. They are popular and combine genres. A brand new Hadley Roma carbon fiber strap with a big steel buckle is attached. Runs great and is keeping good time.  Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 12.5 mm thick. {$375} Item #5890

Title: Beautiful Girard Perregaux Quartz

Description: NEARMINT condition. Formerly new old stock but owned for a few years by a meticulous collector who wore it and enjoyed it with care occasionally. So, some super fine scuffs and about 3 or 4 tiny nicks on the front but only visible with a loupe. Heavy gold plated main body with a stainless steel screw on back. Signed crown. Stunning original gold tapestry style (lightly textured in a crosshatch pattern) dial is to die for. Gold hands and two part stepped gold indices. No tritium or luminescent material. It carries a nice slightly used Caiman crocodile strap with a gold plated deployant buckle, both Hadley Roma. Choose something different if you don't like this but it goes with the watch very well. Wayne our watchmaker has installed a brand new battery. Measures 39.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 12.5 mm thick. {$459} Item #5828 HOLD

Title: Stunning Near Mint Vintage Bulova Hand Wind Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. There are a few scuffs on the sides of the lugs but the yellow gold filled case has its original unbuffed finish. The steel back is dated 1950 with Bulova's date code. Beautifully engraved bezel and original signed crown. Also, the original thin glass crystal is still perfect. Mint original silvered dial is to die for. Gorgeous 17j Bulova Caliber 10BM keeps great time, was serviced by the previous owner and is made in America. A very striking vintage time piece. You can have the old Bulova box also which is from the era but not original to this watch. Probably had a smaller watch in it as the top doesn't close all the watch with this watch in it. It makes a nice presentation though and would be an excellent gift. Measures 25 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$275} Item #5831 SOLD

Title: Extra Nice Seiko Navigator Timer Automatic

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Sweet vintage sport watch with Seiko's highly efficient automatic movement. No winding is necessary and to emphasize that fact Seiko did not include auxiliary winding or crown winding like most watches. Just pick one of these up and they start running from the movement of the rotor. This has a rotating inner bezel for timing or a 2nd time zone application. The GMT hand in red is a 24hr hand and makes one revolution per day, not two like the hour hand. Quick set date too which is nice on vintage watches as most don't have it. Buffed by another dealer and looking pretty nice with small nicks and whatnot evident by loupe. Perfect original dial and hands. Notice the center second hand is yellow. Also, the red is nice and bright. I notice that sometimes the color on that red and blue bezel can fade. A new rubber strap with a steel deployant buckle is included and it is highly adjustable, fitting any size of wrist but you may choose another style from our Accessories page if you like. Measures 41 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$269} Item #5882 SOLD

Title: Nice Large Black Dial Longines All-Guard SS Automatic Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Made in 1954 or 1955 this sweet Longines automatic has had its in-house 17j Caliber 19AS automatic movement fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker. He has replaced the acrylic crystal, the crown and the seals/gaskets. It has been buffed some and the All-Guard insignia usually seen on the backs of these models is gone/smooth. The original dial is just short of mint condition and looks fine to the naked eye. 1%-2% light spotting seen under magnification. We under grade routinely so our customers are usually surprised by the nice condition. Case #9006-1 with lug stamped 3557. Click here to reference another All-Guard we sold recently and for pictures of what the nice Longines movement looks like. An expensive American hand made Hadley Roma shark skin strap is attached. A one year service warranty also comes with it. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$489} Item #5762 SOLD

Title: Big New Old Stock Vintage Girard Perregaux Quartz

Description: NEARMINT condition. Sweet condition from a famous maker, even to this day. Extra fine large cushion case is two pieces. Gold plated main body and a stainless steel, screw on back which still has a blue plastic protective cover. It is scratched on the blue sticker and probably on the back, under the sticker. See photos. Fine scuffs here and there otherwise. All original. Signed crown. Perfect and mint original dial with gold indices centered with onyx. Nice Hadley Roma strap included with a gold tone steel deployant buckle. Probably made about 1980. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$450} Item #5833

Title: Extra Nice Thin Astorex 25 jewel Super Automatic AS FOUND

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Recently the property of a collector. I think that this is a really neat watch because it is so thin for an automatic. The ETA 2472 full rotor, shock protected, 25 ruby jewel, full rotor movement is only thick in the center where the rotor is attached, so the case designer kept the profile thin except for the middle where it goes up, kind of like a short, flat topped volcano. Steel back, gold plated main body, beautiful original silvered dial, old style quick set (move the hour hand past mid-night, back past nine and repeat), and makes a great back up for parts on the hard to find and extremely valuable Doxa Sharkhunter and Sub watches which use the same movement exactly. It takes a 19mm strap and the one on it is old, maybe even the original but it is genuine vintage alligator so you may have it and a new one,  up to $30 from our accessories page. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10.5 mm thick in the center, 8 mm thick on the edge. {$269} Item #5780

Title: Nice Large Pink Movado Kingmatic Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. From a good customer who shops the fancy San Francisco/Bay area where prices are sky high. Fully serviced by the watchmaker/watch shop he bought it from in March of 2009 (watchmaker's mark/date inside of the back) and keeping good time. This is a good sized pink gold plated, 28 jewel Movado Caliber 538 automatic with a sweet and original silvered dial. Rare quick set date with an extra pull of the crown while it is out, in setting position. Don't do that while the hour hand is anywhere near mid-night as mechanical quick set/QS watches can be damaged in that position. Pink color although it is faint, not a dark rose or salmon. Screw back is a mid 1960's favorite because of water and dust resistance. Easy sealing with rubber O-rings. Made in the 1960's with a period genuine crocodile leather strap. We'll change it if you don't care for the look but the slight reddish hue goes well with the pink case. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$329} Item #5801

Title: Beautiful 24j Two Tone Omega Seamaster Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Fantastic condition with a gold bezel, gold (filled) crown and gold caps on the lugs. The main body is steel and bowl shaped which is Omega's most water and dust resistant design. The seamonster on the back has perfect, unworn background which is the best way to judge wear. The crystal is also signed and probably the original or replaced some time ago, if replaced. We've added the new Omega crown and the Omega signed (authentic) hand made French strap by Camille Fournet. It is gray in color. The nice dial is perfect and does have tiny lum dots on the outside of the tiny gold plated indices but recently re-finished. It is a real nice job. The Omega Caliber 562 full rotor movement has 24 jewels, is shock protected and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker with a 19 mil serial number dating it to 1962. The Cal. 562 is an old style quick set which means you can change the date by moving the hour hand past midnight, back to nine and then repeat. It carries a one year service warranty. Case reference number is 14770 62-SC. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$589}  Item #5554 {$499}

Title: Nice 24j Omega with Cool Marble Style Dial

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a really good looking watch with a heavy 40 micron amber/rose gold colored main body and steel screw on back. The signed Omega crown matches the case in color as do the indices, hands and calendar frame. The dial is probably refinished but looks very nice and is unique. The 24 jewel Omega Caliber 562 runs great and has been checked out by Wayne our watchmaker. A new crystal has been installed along with gaskets. It has been regulated also. A brand new Hadley Roma croc style Italian calfskin dark brown strap with a nice suede backing is included. That comes with a gold plated steel buckle. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$569} Item #5593 {$499}

Title: Big New Old Stock Zodiac Quartz Chronograph

Description: NEARMINT condition. Really good watch for the money with good steel, nice design and high grade Swiss quartz movements. Screw down crown. Jubilee style bracelet is different for a large chrono. Hidden double deployant integrated into the bracelet. Retails for $450. Like new with no sign of use and has its original tag and the previous owner, a collector had a new battery installed. Measures 45 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$239} Item #5797

Title: Rare Croton Vacuum Automatic "Hunk o' Pig Iron"

Description: VERYGOOD condition. I've sold many of these by Glycine but I did not know Croton had one. Made in the 1960's with true one piece cases in super thick stainless steel bowl shaped cases where the movement (quick set date ETA 2738 automatic) goes in or comes out through the front. No removable bezels either, like most one piece case Omega Seamasters which actually have a snap on or friction fit bezel (ring on the outside of the crystal which many times holds the crystal), waterproof from the same era. Only the case, two white gold crystal clamps and the thick glass or early sapphire (not sure on this model) thick beveled crystal. Original crown is well sealed as back in the day this was a water proof watch. Also shock protected (Incabloc) with a fancy micro-meter regulator, according to Wayne the watch maker who checked it out and regulated it for accuracy. It is also a rare hack set. Day of the week is not quick set, just the day of the month. The dial is purple, looks original and does have some light age spots including the largest which can be seen just over M of MON on the day wheel. Better jump on this as it is a great watch for the money with a brand new Hadley Roma brown leather strap and steel buckle. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 9.5 mm thick. {$279} Item #5810

Title: Military Issue Bulova Type A17A Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Rare timepiece with a fantastic original dial and super sweet original hands. Hack set Bulova 10BNCH high grade hand wound movement works perfectly, keeps good time and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne and comes with a one year service warranty. Parkerized case is very nice. All military markings on screw back along with an over abundance of tool marks from an inexperienced owner. Acrylic crystal. Original crown. A brand new Hadley Roma 882 padded oil tan strap is included. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 12.5 mm thick. {$385} Item #5805 SOLD

Title: 14k Yellow Gold Longines Tank Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a heck of a nice watch for the money. Some service centers charge this amount just for a service! Seriously, affordable watchmakers are hard to find and becoming quite scarce. Luckily, we have Wayne who does all of our wrist watches and Harlan who is doing our pocket watches and they usually charge less than $100 for most servicing. This is a solid gold tank in a small size, normal for the day but small by today's standard. The dial looks like an old refinish but there is not a lot of text to examine for detail. It has aged so if re-painted it was done a long time ago. Beautiful Longines in-house 9L movement is Swiss and dates to 1946 or 1947. Fully signed case is in great shape and the watch keeps good time as Wayne has fully serviced, oiled and timed it. The curved glass crystal is original from the era and does have some edge chips, although they are small. Glass wrist watch crystals are rare. The large crown is new and easy to grip. Takes a 14 mm strap which is a hard to find size and could be worn by either a man or a woman. Measures 20 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 9.5 mm thick. {$290} Item #5794

Title: Sweet Black Dial Longines Hi-Beat Ultra Chron Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT condition. I love these watches but collectors are catching on and high beat movements are becoming more and more sought after. The Longines in-house automatic Caliber 431 movement was invented in 1967 and had a ball bearing rotor, high beat (36,000 beats per hour)) three spoke screwless Glucydur balance, 36 hr power reserve (mainspring), eccentric fine regulator adjustment, KIF-Ultra flex shock protection, a self compensating flat Nivarox hairspring, Clinergic 21 anchor escapement, all in a one piece steel case with no removable back or bezel even. Fully serviced, oiled and timed (minimum $75 value/cost) by Wayne the watchmaker and comes with a one year service warranty, new crown and acrylic crystal. Some light buffing and satin finish restored on top and sides. A brand new Hadley Roma strap with a steel buckle is attached. Keeps superb time and looks nice overall. Made in 1967. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$329} Item #5812 SOLD

Title: Rare Formed Stepped Case Longines Circa 1938 Serviced

Description: GOOD condition. Really rare steel formed case design and similar to some very expensive brands from the time. Made in the late 1930's. The price is very low but that is because of some corrosion on the back which is marked Boden Edelstahl or "ground high-grade steel" but not signed Longines. See our close-up photos by clicking on the image to the left. This watch will be fine as long as you don't get sweaty while wearing it. The gorgeous Longines Caliber 25.17 Swiss made movement keeps great time and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker and we have had the dial refinished by a good company in Canada and it looks really sharp. A new slightly domed crystal is also part of the refurbish and an open ended pigskin strap is attached. A fantastic rare form by a high grade manufacturer at a bargain price. Measures 22.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x 8.5 mm thick. {$290} Item #5564 SOLD

Title: Nice WGF Illinois Blackstone

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very attractive although small watch circa 1930 or so. White gold filled case has three pieces. A snap on back, middle body and a snap on bezel where the crystal resides. It is in nice condition and the back fits well but it also has a small ding in it. The crystal is glass. The dial looks like a nice refinish to me. A couple of special features that I noticed about this model is the hand engraved sides of the middle body and the fancy and correct 17j Illinois movement. A tad bit more finish and you might wonder if IWC or Patek made it with the Swiss style open finger bridges. It has raised cupped jewel settings which are held in place with screws, a solid gold train (wheels), a capped balance staff and a diamond capped escape wheel pinion. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$375} Item #5364 HOLD

Title: Wonderful White Gold and Diamond Baylor Prince Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Restored by our watchmaker with a well made solid white gold case, original but aged diamond dial and fully serviced, oiled and timed 17j Zale Watch Co. Swiss made movement. New curved acrylic crystal and easily gripped crown has been added along with a nice new Hadley Roma black leather strap. We've added an old Baylor watch box from the era also. Yes, that is a good sized ugly scratch down near the 5 on the dial which has 4 diamonds too. The light inscription on the back is in French. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 9.5 mm thick. {$375} Item #5423

Title: Unusual 14k Bulova Curved Wrist Watch Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a real nice larger wearable watch for the genre. Has the original thick glass crystal, slightly aged dial, big 14k yellow gold case, signed crown and nice 21 jewel Swiss made hand wound movement. It is an in-house Bulova Caliber 10BC and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. A new Hadley Roma strap is attached. Comes with a period Bulova Fifth Avenue vintage box in good condition. Measures 26.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 8.5 mm thick. {$369} Item #5390

Title: Gorgeous Mystery Dial Eloga w/Display Back Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. Most of these are E. Borel but this is by another Swiss company, Eloga. Our watchmaker has fully serviced, oiled and timed the watch and it looks fantastic. No sign of wear and built a bit heavier then the Borel counterpart. A brand new Hadley Roma genuine lizard skin ($54 retail) strap is attached. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$375} Item #5247

Title: Beautiful See Through Men's Ernest Borel Cocktail Watch Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. The gold plated middle body of this 1960's vintage Swiss timepiece is in near perfect condition. It contains a 17j Swiss made hand wound nickel plated E. Borel movement (Synchron 26) which has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and is keeping excellent time and is shock protected against sudden jars or knocks. It can be seen through the display back. Few vintage watches can be found with display backs. The kaleidoscope dial has an inner disc that rotates giving a cool sixties psychedelic effect and unlike most models you can also see through the entire watch. A brand new black leather speed strap is included. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$485} SOLD  Item #5527

Title:  Mid-Sized Stainless Steel Omega Constellation

Description: GOOD condition. Probably considered a gentlemen's model this is not that large and could be worn by a woman as it is nice and thin. Original gold dial. Quick set date. Medium length bracelet, not long by any means. Would have graded better except for a lot of scuffs on the original finish and a good sized ding on the bezel right around the VIII. Click on the image to the left for close up shots of this watch at several angles. Measures 33.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 6.5 mm thick. {$475} Item #5685

Title: Nice Big Stainless Steel Longines Circa 1956/57 Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very nice vintage watch and very affordable in today's market. The Longines Caliber 12.68ZS has 17 jewels, gold jewel settings, polished center wheel bridge plate, split gold screw balance, Incabloc shock protection and it has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker. The dial has been refinished recently and looks decent. New crown and crystal too. Three piece steel snap back case, reference 6823-1/670 is fully marked and has a neat domed back which adds a little volume. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$285} Item #5689 SOLD

Title: Aquastar Regate Yachting Watch AS FOUND

Description: GOOD condition. From one of our customers and scuffed up pretty good along with some deep nicks on the backs and sides of the lugs. All steel with a Swiss made automatic shock protected chronograph movement which counts down 5 minutes with the red dots. This model might need a little TLC although it works fine and keeps time. The original silvered dial shows a bit of age around the indices. Signed crown. Back is individually serial numbered and Heuer sold this watch later with their name. A great value and good investment! Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$475} Item #5441 HOLD

Title: WGF Illinois Medalist, Circa 1930

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice watch with a proper refinished dial which was done some time ago. Done from the correct template of the original. Rare cut corner glass crystal. Only small points of wear through on the four corners of the bezel which is not even visible to the naked eye easily. Runs fine and has an extra pretty movement with cross hatch demaskeening/design or light engraving and raised gold jewel settings held in place with chatons. A nice new black Hadley Roma leather dress strap with a steel buckle is attached. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$375} Item #5536

Title: Pre-Owned Limited Edition Russian Mechanical Chronograph

Description: NEARMINT condition. I think this is made by Poljot but not sure to be honest. It is called a Buran Aviator with Caliber 31. I did find some websites selling this model for about $600 or 467 Euro. This watch is hand wound and in new condition with the original product manual and international warranty. Also comes with the box and hang tag. Unused. Screw down crown. Limited edition numbered 493/500. Small date at six. Pretty sporty and nice fit and feel. Measures 42 mm wide (not including the crown) x 51 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$239} Item #5524 HOLD

Title: Large 21J Fancy Lug Elgin "Black Knight"

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Very large and very cool. Textured dial is very nice and original. The high grade Elgin Caliber 556 movement is keeping good time, has 21 jewels and has been completely gone over and regulated by our watchmaker. It is marked adjusted to temperatures and positions. American movements which are marked "adjusted" are similar to Swiss made chronometer grade movements in their finish and excellent timekeeping abilities. He has also installed a brand new acrylic crystal. The serial number dates this cool Batman style watch to the early 1950's. The yellow gold filled case has been lightly buffed but it does still show some faint nicks on the bezel, just over the cool stylized 12 and a scratch on that same lug. A brand new $54 Hadley Roma 17 mm lizard skin strap is attached. Measures 27 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$269} Item #5568

Title: Vintage Silvana Two Register Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Excellent 1960's or early 70's round pusher chronograph. All steel with some nicks and scuffs but large and with a screw on back. The crown is signed and the dial original. Sort of a charcoal color. The Swiss made Valjoux movement works perfectly and keeps very good time. A nice new breathable sporty black leather Hadley Roma strap is attached. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$329} Item #5424

Title: Heavy SS Eterna Sonic Electronic

Description: NEARMINT condition. Neat extra heavy steel bracelet which is only medium or short length. Common for older watches as we were quite a bit smaller, even 40 years ago. On average we were not so fat, certainly. The watch measures 7 and 1/2 inches long but probably fits a 7 inch wrist or smaller. Links can be removed. Most would call this new old stock as I don't think it has  been used or worn much, but there are numerous scuffs here and there. The finish is original and has not been buffed out. This is a tuning fork movement which hums like an Accutron when running. My watchmaker's eyes nearly popped out if his head when he saw it as it is extremely high grade and very expensive. He said that in the old days when replacement movements were still available the cost was $200 each! The black liquefied seal under the crystal has been cleaned out as you can see it near the 10 in our photos which we took prior to giving to Wayne. It has the original signed crown and signed bracelet which is the same solid link design seen on the Breitling Transocean. Measures 37.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37.5 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$425} Item #5260
