CLICK HERE, HADLEY ROMA LEATHER STRAP SALE! GOOD PRICES, CLICK HERE
Title: Rare Omega Seamaster Bumper Wind w/Date Mechanic's Special

Description: FAIR/GOOD condition. Very rare 1943 Seamaster with a nice but slightly aged original dial and original large heavy gold filled case with the original steel snap on back. Heavy wear on the crown side of the case right at the crown. Weird, not sure what caused this. Almost looks purposeful, maybe with a file. Ding on bezel too and a signed crown. Needs a new case but runs (may need service) and the date switches at midnight properly. Early Omega Caliber 355 is shock protected and beautiful to look at and wear as the rotor bumps from side to side winding the watch automatically. Very rare version with date at six! A brand new Hadley Roma strap is attached. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$390} Item #5134

Title: Gold Filled Omega Dynamic for Restoration Mechanic's Special

Description: FAIR condition. Very collectible high grade watch from the 60's but in need of a restoration. The crown is signed but seems too small so probably not original. Runs fine. Some scuffs and dings on the gold plated case with steel back. A new aftermarket black leather strap is attached. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$299} Item #4735

Title: Dealer's/Mechanic's Special Buren Dive Watches

Description: One well used whole running watch and one new old stock case, dial, crystal, bezel and crown. The new old stock case does have scratches on the back and also has different hands. Both have the same screw down crowns. The hand wound movement runs and is a Standard Time with shock protection and 17 jewels. The steel cases are marked made in hong kong (most dealers would hide this fact) on the inside and have metal dust covers for the movements. I saved the new old stock case for 15 years before I found another watch to match. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$219} Item #5120

Title: Nice Hamilton w/Original Glass Crystal and Period Strap Mechanic's Special

Description: GOOD condition. Nice old watch in its original condition. Faded silver dial with solid gold numerals and makers. Beautiful American made Hamilton Caliber 752 runs great and keeps good time. It needs a little tweak to stop rattling in the case and maybe a dial refinish and the crystal is scratched too. I believe this is the "Austin". About 1950. Original old pig skin strap is real nice. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$99} Item #5025

Title: Aged Hamilton Tank Mechanic's Special

Description: FAIR condition. Moderate wear on the gold filled case seen as wear spots on the back sides of the lugs. The nice Hamilton Caliber 980 hand wound movement does run but the dial needs refinished for sure and a new crystal too. Measures 24 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$65} Item #5047

Title: Waltham and South Bend 217 Mechanic's Special

Description: Repairable but rough. See photos by clicking on the image to the left. Broken balance staff on the South Bend. Both are 16 size American. {$150} Item #4880

Title: Nice SS Tissot Seven Automatic Mechanic's Special

Description: VERYGOOD condition. A big funky 1970's  Swiss made automatic. We have not cleaned it up much from it's last location, a local flea market. There is a little dirt around the crystal and in the tiny corners. One good thing about this condition is that we know it has not been used for a long time so the movement condition is probably excellent. It runs fine and keeps very good time. Date is quick set by pushing in on the crown. A brand new Hadley Roma brown leather speed strap with a stainless steel buckle is attached. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$155} Item #4741 SOLD

Title: Bucherer Chronometer Mechanic's Special

Description: GOOD condition. Gold plated middle body with a steel back. 1970's chronometer grade automatic. Stem is loose, movement holder/ring missing and needs service. Average condition. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$99} Item #7011

Title: Box of 6 Bulova Military Parts, Pallet Jewels
