Title:
24j Omega Seamaster w/Date
Serviced
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Made in about 1966 or 67 this good old
work horse of a dress watch was really top of the line in precision
timekeeping for its day. The in-house Omega Caliber 562 full rotor
automatic movement is one of the finest movements ever made, by any mass
produced brand. It has 24 jewels, a screwless Glucydur balance with
Nivarox hairspring moving at 19,800 beats per hour/bph who's balance
staff is protected by an Incabloc shock protector, swan's neck fine
regulator and is adjusted to five positions and temperature. It is the
same basic movement used in the Constellation and has been fully
serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne and carries a one year service
warranty. Wayne has also installed a new acrylic crystal and case
gaskets. The crown is a signed Omega crown but may be a replacement. The
case is one of the later models which had no removable bezel, only a
main body and a screw on back. And the main body is a heavy 40 micron
gold plate, not gold filled like the older versions. Click

to read about gold filled versus gold plated. Most use
20 micron, some stuff even 10 like Raymond Weil and other modern brands
so 40 micron is pretty thick. Overall the condition is very good to
excellent with some faint nicks on the body at most and a cool and
unique gray or silver colored refinished dial. The indices are gold
plated with gold plated Omega hands centered by onyx strips. Easy to
wind and winds fast on the wrist from the motion of your wrist. On a
brand new
Hadley Roma dark brown strap. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick.

Title: Cool Heuer Two
Register Chronograph
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Nice vintage steel chronograph from a well
known manufacturer. Great condition, including the original dial.
However, the outer white tachymeter ring has some fading and dark color,
only seen really when looking with a loupe or in our close-up photos. It
runs perfectly and the chronograph functions as it should. The dial is
gray. Fully signed on the dial, case, movement and crown. From a fancy
watch repair shop out in California and first sold for $2500! Comes with
this silver carbon fiber style HR strap but you may choose another if
you don't like this one. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 14 mm thick.

Title:
Hard to Find SS Vulcain Cricket
Serviced
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Really hard to find all steel version of
a popular dress watch from the 1960's. Seen in photos worn by Lyndon
Johnson and the original version of the modern
Revue Thommen Cricket alarm
watches which we see in the market place often new. The dial is original
but rather bland I am afraid. Some spotting and general wash out type
loss of color. Having said all that, I've been looking at the watch on
my wrist and it looks pretty sharp. The case is almost nearmint and has
its original finish for the most part. It had not been buffed before
Wayne hit it very lightly. Original signed crown. New acrylic crystal
and what may have been the exact some style of mesh bracelet seen
on these back then although many wore the hair pulling Speidel expansion
or a leather strap. This bracelet was found on this watch but is not
signed Vulcain. It is plenty long enough for modern chunky wrists and
adjustable to any length. Wayne also serviced, oiled and timed
the in-house Vulcain caliber 12 O hand wound movement. The dial looks
better than the close-up photos and better than my general description.
At more than a foot the eye sees a faint tan-ish hue instead of the
pasty white in these photos. Stuff has been selling quickly as usual and
these are very hard for me to find in nice shape so my price is a bit
higher then usual for our site. And it really looks nice on my wrist. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12.5 mm thick. Comes with a one year service
warranty!

Title: Chunky Jacques LeMans Geneve Steel Automatic Geneve Chronograph
Description:
NEARMINT condition. This model G149 is a few years old, I'm
pretty sure. Big beautiful high polish steel
chrono with a comfortable and well made bracelet. Curved sapphire
crystal is completely flush with the top of the case and there is a
display back which shows the Swiss made (Valjoux) automatic chronograph
movement. With a close look I can see one or two faint scuffs. Very
close to mint condition. Comes with its original box. I haven't checked
but I bet the retail is over 2k for this fine dress chronograph. Measures 37
mm wide (not including the crown) x 52 mm long x 15 mm thick.

Title: Rare Stainless Steel Pulsar Red LED, Long Bracelet and Box
Description:
NEARMINT/MINT condition. This is the most attractive Pulsar LED ever
made in my opinion. In fact, Hamilton re-made this model or the one they
made for MIB II movie looks just like it anyway. I've got one of those
from the same collector which I am getting photos of now. They are cool
watches but this is the original. Several models past the very first one
but that one was/is pretty darn ugly. This also has the flick of the
wrist "on" feature which they call Auto Command. And it has the full
length bracelet plus two extra links which are worth their weight in
gold (seriously). The red glass is an early sapphire crystal and mint in
this model. All steel case and bracelet has its original brushed finish.
It does have numerous micro-fine scuffs, mostly on the clasp and links.
Original mint magnet and magnet holder in the clasp. The black paint is
still intact on the back where you put the magnet to set the time. Checked out by Wayne
who said everything worked perfectly and was like new.
Original box is missing the C shaped watch holder thingy. Measures 36.5
mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 15 mm thick.

Title:
Rare 1920's Silver Tiffany and Company Wrist Watch
Description:
GOOD condition. Very rare 1920's triple signed Tiffany
wrist watch. Perfect porcelain dial and nice high grade Swiss movement
(probably IWC, Agassiz or some other well known maker) although the
nickel finish appears washed out some (dull in brightness) from almost
100 years of servicing. The case is in good shape but does have a few
dings in the hinged back which is also signed and does have an engraving
of initials on it. Its been buffed quite a bit (the whole case). I would
be comfortable charging double for this watch in a fancy shop or if the
condition was slightly better. As it is I think this is a good price.
Add $75 for service although it runs fine and comes from a collector who
takes care of his watches. The crystal is glass and if you look closely
you might see some discoloration where the crystal fits into the bezel.
This is just old glue from the last time the watch had service or the
crystal replaced. Silver will patina to black but not discolor in this
fashion/brown. The hinged wire lugs are affixed with a special brand
new open ended Hirsch strap made for this kind of watch. Original crown
too in my opinion. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40ish mm long x 10 mm thick.

Title:
Beautiful Stainless Steel
Vintage Omega Century
Serviced
Description:
EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. Rare 16j Omega hand wound Caliber 30T2-SC
Swiss made movement has a pretty pink gold wheel train and was
serviced by the watch restorer a few years ago when the last owner, a
collector of top condition watches, purchased it. It was made in about
1944 during WW II when steel was hard to get and good watches for
civilians not so common. The Ref. #10567146 Omega signed back snaps in
place and has some pitting on one edge between the lugs. The middle body
does also but not the inner lip or seal. This has all been cleaned up by
the company who refurbished the watch and not easily visible without
looking real close. It may effect water proofedness but the style is not
very water proof anyway although this case has a fancy curved stem area
and is probably sealed in the crown/stem area. The nice black dial is a
refinish and was also done by the watch restorer. The indices are yellow
while the hands are white or silver in color. Nice large crown is easy
to grip. I believe this is the correct case and movement for a Century
but since the dial has been refinished I need to do a little more
research. Some of my Omega customers may write and let me know before
long so I'll update. A brand new black
Hadley Roma genuine square
grain Alligator strap is attached with a brand new authentic
Omega stainless steel buckle.
A millimeter or two larger than most hand wound versions from this age,
measuring 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Title: New Old Stock
Omega Megaquartz Chronometer Grade
Description:
NEARMINT condition. Although this watch is unbuffed and rarely
used it does have some nicks. I am rating it nearmint because it was
collected in mint condition, unused and then worn a bit by a careful new
old stock collector. Some nicks, micro-fine scuffs and two or three
small scratches on the crown/pusher side which has a gorgeous brushed
finish. Large steel watch with a signature slotted screw back where the
observatory shows us what mint/no wear observatories should look like. A
large 24 mm "Alpha" brand leather strap is attached, 99% unused and a
neat brushed and polished (matching the head) unbranded stainless steel
double deployant buckle is attached. Quick set day date with the crown
and sunken pushers. Flat mineral glass crystal. Nice coin edge bezel.
Signed crown. Really good time keeper in a good size and shape which I
think is fairly unique in today's market. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 43 mm long x 12.5 mm thick.

Title: Stunning 1920's
Hamilton Tonneau
Serviced
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Simply gorgeous with this unusual, nearly
one of a kind dial. Re-finished professionally with a silver center,
black outer portion and light green Arabic numerals and hands. The white
gold filled case is in great condition with no wear through of the gold
and has beautiful engraving on the side. This type of case is reinforced
with heavy metal material inside and weighs more than other models from
that time. There are a few little tiny dings in the signed back which
snaps on perfectly. The American made Caliber 987-F movement was
recently serviced by the previous owner and it is keeping good time. The
crown is probably not original but is large and easy to grip. Perfect
crystal feels like glass but it may be a modern hardened acrylic. Made
in the late 1920's and can easily rival the beauty of some more
expensive Illinois models. Decent size for the age also as many watches
were much smaller than this at that time. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 34 mm long x mm thick.

Fancy Dial Omega DeVille
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. Very nice affordable quick set 24 jewel
Omega with a signed crystal and crown. Our watchmaker checked this over
but I lost the little paper he makes with all the movement info. Runs
great and has a super sharp original and perfect tapestry dial. Gold
filled bezel and steel bowl shaped case. Some pitting happed in the past
and you can see this on the back of the case which has been buffed
lightly (not by us). Pulling the crown out an extra increment quick
changes the date. A nice new DeBeer Paris brown leather strap is
attached. Very unusual dial on this late 60's high grade Omega. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick.

Rolex product with a signed screw down crown, original two tone dial and
flat water proof Ref. 7934 steel screw back case. Some light nicks and

information. The dial has aged very nicely and is very attractive. A new

Magnificent 1940's In-House Pierce Up Down Chronograph
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Boy, this sure is a nice looking vintage
chronograph which was formally the property of a private collector who
had it serviced one year ago. Gorgeous copper dial may be a refinish but
the detail is top notch and to be honest, I am not sure. Super cool look
with the oversized pushers and steel back which is held in place with
four screws. Signed by hand on the back which is not uncommon for older,
lower production number watches. Just an outstanding overall appearance
and not something I think you will see often, especially in this
condition. Runs great and has a nice new dark brown
Hadley Roma strap attached. Pierce is
known for in-house movements which is pretty hard to find with any
chronograph maker, new or vintage. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 13.5 mm thick.
