Description: VERYGOOD condition. These beautiful ladies watches started in the early 1950's and were popular for over 30 years. They also made a gentleman's version. Yellow gold plated body with a little wear seen as some small scuffs and scratches, not easily visible and a rare display back so you can see the high grade Swiss movement, which is wound by hand. What makes these watches even more interesting is the special face where two clear disks rotate counter to one another to make a kaleidoscope effect. The red arrows are the hour and minute hands. Yellow dials are not as common as the black dialed cocktail watches. The high grade 17 jewel Swiss made movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne our watchmaker and comes with a one year warranty. A brand new Hadley Roma baby blue speed strap is seen but we can put a brown leather on it, I think. Measures 25 mm wide (not including the crown) x 33 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$375} Item #5992

Description: MINT condition. This may be a couple of years old as it has been in a collection of unused new affordable watches.

Swiss made ladies quartz, 200 meter water proof, screw down crown diver with a low profile sapphire crystal and rotating timing bezel.

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This is a mid-sized quartz version which is just small enough for a woman and still large enough for men if you want something with a low profile and not bulky. Very well made watches with extra fine finishes on the head and bracelet. Comes with the original inner and outer boxes and four extra links. I think I've smushed one of the corners of the outer cardboard Ebel box as it was perfect. Anyway, the watch is nearmint or better. Solid gold bezel is held in place with screws which give access to the high grade Swiss quartz movement for battery changes as the case is one piece of steel, shaped like a bowl with no removable back. Quite a few superficial scuffs and a few very small nicks on the gold bezel. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 6 mm thick. {$569} Item #5924

Fully serviced, oiled and timed and comes with a one year service warranty. Stunning, yet simple and durable. Measures 25 mm wide (not including the crown) x 31 mm long x 7 mm thick. {$229} Item #5569  

Title: Ladies Gold Dial Ernest Borel Cocktail Watch Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. We don't use nearmint for vintage watches much so please note that the condition of the watch is almost unused. The gold plated case and hand wound Swiss movement are in perfect condition. It has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. The rotating disc in the center of the watch turns instead of a normal seconds hand and gives a real cool Kaleidoscope effect.

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Solid 14k yellow gold with a fancy edge faceted glass or sapphire crystal, mint original silvered dial, nearmint snap back and fully signed case, signed crown and teeny tiny Omega Caliber 661 full rotor, shock protected, in-house automatic movement which has been checked out by Wayne the watchmaker and is keeping great time. A new black cord strap is attached and it will fit any size wrist but sizing takes a little know how so a jeweler or watchmaker might have to do it. I can give you instructions if you want to shorten the cord by yourself. This watch looks unused from a distance and is barely used at worst. Wayne thinks that these are sapphire crystals, by the way. Bargain! Measures 17.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 28 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$399} Item #5825 HOLD

Title: Rare 14k Yellow Gold Ladies Gruen Curvex Serviced

Measures 13 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38.5 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$795} Item #5318 SOLD

Description: NEARMINT condition. Really nice condition from the original owner back in the early 1990's which wasn't long ago and evidenced by the light wear on the watch. Some faint scuffs on the clasp and sides of the head and a tiny chip or two on the edge of the sapphire crystal, around 4. This is a modern design with an easy to set "quick set" date and hard to break or scratch sapphire crystal. Modern Rolex jubilee bracelets have thicker gold center links, called D links than the older ones and this is one of those. The center gold link is drilled out rather than rolled into a circle and then welded/soldered. The hands have been painted black by the previous owner who wanted to be able to see them a little better. The original gold dial is perfect. This is a steel watch with 18k gold center links on the large original jubilee bracelet, 18k gold fluted bezel and 18k gold screw down water proof crown. The high grade Rolex Caliber 2135 automatic or self winding movement has 29 jewels, has been checked out by our watchmaker and is keeping excellent time.

Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. This attractive 1930's ladies time piece has been to Wayne for full servicing and he wrote down Didisheim Winton as the movement maker even though it is marked Cretets or something similar. I've never heard of Cretets but it is probably just another spin off of Didisheim as they had a lot of AKA's. Medium grade with 16 jewels and two adjustments and a cool wire lug engraved case in good shape. Correct red sapphire cabochon crown too.

Measures 18 mm wide (not including the crown) x 27 mm long x 8.5 mm thick. {$369} Item #5611 SOLD

Description: GOOD condition. Sweet and rare watch in really nice condition. Absolutely gorgeous original dial which seems to light up a bit to the naked eye. It is gold as is the Rolex signed case and is called a telephone dial because it looks like the old rotary phone face. Our super close-ups make things/darkness or age look worse than they are. So, I am not exaggerating when I go on and on about how pretty this dial is in person. The crown is newer and large enough to grip easily. It keeps excellent time and if you'll tell me what type and color of strap you prefer I'll put that on before shipment as this one is used and not a great color for this watch. Measures 21 mm wide (not including the crown) x 27 mm long x 7.5 mm thick. {$1075} Item #5498
