Title: Bulova Spaceview in YGF Case

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Circa 1965. Steel back, reference 2387. Gold filled middle body. Spaceviews are Accutrons with no dial. So you can see the "works".

Title: Gorgeous 1930's Hand Wound Omega w/Original Radium Dial

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This dial shows all its age in these photo's. Somehow it appears perfect in person. Yes, it is colored and has some "bumplies" and fading on the outside around the 60 second track, but at about a foot from the face it appears perfectly "in character" and these Arabic numerals are all intact (probably radium considering when it was made), looking very vintage and nice. The hands are original too and nearly perfect, especially the luminescent material. The hand wound Omega movement (17.8 SC) dates this watch to about 1939. It runs almost without error showing less than 3 seconds in all positions per day. The steel, Omega signed screw back case  is in about 90% condition.  A  new 16 mm Hadley Roma black leather strap is attached. This is a small to mid-sized 1930's Omega watch measuring 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$329} Item #5257

Title: Gorgeous Mystery Dial Eloga w/Display Back Serviced

These early battery watches used a tuning fork to regulate the frequency and time. You can hear them humming when put to your ear at a high pitched tuning fork tone.

Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$395} Reduced by $100 Item #4999

Title: Gorgeous Citizen World Time GMT Automatic

Description: NEARMINT condition. A fantastic vintage watch in super condition. The steel case is almost perfect with only a couple of tiny nicks and scuffs. The 21 jewel Citizen automatic movement does have auxiliary wind (will wind with crown) and we have put a new crystal on too. The extra nice and colorful original dial is in superb shape and is one of the best looking I have ever seen. It has an inner rotating bezel for world time indication. The red hand moves around the dial once per 24hrs or military time. It is not adjustable. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$325} Item #4567

Title: Rare Coral 19j Hamilton Ross, Circa late 1930's Serviced

Description: GOOD condition. Very hard to find watch with its original glass crystal, dial, case and movement. We have added a new, easy to grip pink crown which matches very well. Only rated good because of the aged original dial, aged original hands and scuffed original glass crystal. Mostly though because of the case which has quite a bit of wear on the bottom corners. The beautiful high grade American made Hamilton Caliber 982 runs great and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {269} Item #5188

Title: Extra Nice Ernest Borel Cocktail Watch Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. Green gold (most see yellow or gold color when they look but technically it is green) plated with a 17j signed Swiss made hand wound E. Borel movement which is keeping good time and can be seen through the display back. A couple of very faint scuffs and one tiny nick on the edge of the lug at 11. 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 Hadley Roma  strap of excellent quality is attached. It measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$475} Item #5166

Title: Rare Limited Edition Japan Market Titanium Seiko Brightz

Title: Hard to Find 14k Gold Longines Tank

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Fairly rare case design with the cut out extended lugs. Solid 14k yellow gold case was made in America by Longines. It has male spring bar posts rather than holes and requires female spring bars. The dial is refinished and just looks OK in my opinion. Some light corrosion on the Swiss made Longines Caliber 9L. Add $75 for full service plus a two week lag. Runs fine according to our timing machine though. Original thick glass crystal. A brand new genuine crocodile strap is included. Check out what these watches sell for on some competitors sites. CVW's has quite a few for sale and they are all over $1000. Sometimes customer/viewers think that if it is cheap, there is something wrong with it so if it doesn't sell soon, I'll raise the price considerably. It would probably sell faster if priced higher! Measures 23 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 7 mm thick. {$475} Item #4164

Title: Rare Hamilton Electric Victor w/Diamond Pattern Dial

Description: GOOD condition. Pretty watch and unusual too with its asymmetrical yellow gold filled case, crown at the corner and fancy original diamond pattern dial.

Title: Large White Gold Filled Illinois "Mate"

Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. Sweet vintage timepiece in very good shape overall. A little wear on the high points of the lugs and the very rare original cut glass crystal does have a large chip in the corner near 7. Fancy engraving on signed back. Three piece engraved case and nice 17j Illinois hand wound movement keeps good time. Original painted dial is very nice for this genre/brand. A brand new HR Oil Tan strap is attached. Priced at or below market. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$375} Item #4507 SALE! {$255}

Title: Big Steel Jacques Monnat Yachting Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition.  Excellent watch for the money. Swiss made with Tritium luminescence in great shaped although darkened with age. Very nice condition all around except the original bakelite bezel which has some damage from age as you can see in the photos. Heavy back has cool embossed spear fisherman and a big fish. Original large crown is easy to grip. Powered by a Valjoux 7730 hand wound chronograph movement which has been gone over completely by our watchmaker. It is clean adn functions perfectly, keeping very good time. Yachting chronos not only time 30 minute increments but also have two 5 minute countdown timers seen here in blue and red. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$535} Item #4818 SALE! {$325}

Title: Wonderful "Joseph" Oval Pusher Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition.  All Swiss made, Circa 1950 or so with an unusual Landeron shock protected movement. Most chronographs from this era were not shock protected. Superb middle body and bezel look like steel but must be chrome plated or the steel back would say all steel. Nice size and fantastic gold colored original telemeter/tachymeter dial at 98%. Looks really nice in person. Normal seconds at nine with a 30 minute sub dial/counter at three. Center second hand measures each minute when you start the chronograph. Push the button at 2 to start and stop and push the button at four to stop and again to reset (while stopped). Runs fine with light washout on the nickel movement. Case and movement are signed Kelbert, Joseph on the dial. A brand new Hadley Roma black leather strap is attached. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$555} Item #4969 SALE! {$425} SOLD

Title: Excellent Stainless Steel Hand Wound Zenith Sporto

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Sweet watch with a well made case including a fairly rare clear dust cover not seen often on wrist watches. The dial is perfect really except that it has been refinished. We know this in part because of the lack of tritium on the markers (probably would have been a small dot of it on the outside edge of each) and the T swiss made T at the bottom denotes tritium so...also the un-aged appearance as it looks very new and fresh.  The hands appear to be original with aged lum inside. Beautiful shock protected 18 jewel movement runs great and is a pleasure to view. Watches with dust covers are usually in better shape than others especially after all these years. Signed crown. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 10.5 mm thick. {$265} Item #5071

Title: Wonderful Seiko World Timer 6117-6400 Auto GMT

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Sweet watch in heavy screw back steel. The crown like most Seiko autos does not wind the watch but quick sets the date and moves the inner world time cities bezel. Seiko watches are very efficient and barely require any movement of the wrist at all to start running. Beautiful original dial. New correct crystal is mint. Red GMT hand is short and may have been clipped or broken. It makes one revolution per day, not two like the hour hand does. Comes with a new dark red and padded sport strap which compliments the colored dial nicely. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$285} Item #4960

Title: Stainless Steel Omega Megaquartz

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice condition with some nicks on the steel case which has been buffed. Nice original blue dial but it does have some brown spots at a few of the indices. See the close-up photos. Click on the image to the left. Comes with an original Omega shark skin strap from the era and original Omega buckle (a $75 value easily). Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$325} Item #5045
