CLICK HERE, HADLEY ROMA LEATHER STRAP SALE! GOOD PRICES, CLICK HERE
Title: Early Omega Gold and Steel Constellation Mechanic's Special

Description: FAIR condition. Rare vintage circa 1953 or so with a 13 mil serial number. Omega Caliber 354 movement was their first chronometer grade automatic. It is a one direction bump wind with some wear on the tip edge of the rotor where it may have rubbed the screw on back. Case reference 2652-13SC. Original waffle style dial. Unsigned crown is new and this watch runs and could be worn but is just in need of servicing and restoration. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$549} Item #5212 SOLD

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. {$299} Item #5134 SOLD

Title: Long Curved GF Hand Wound Bulova Mechanic's Special

Description: FAIR/GOOD condition. Pretty good shape with no wear through to the gold filled case. Movement is original but does not run. This is a long, curved America made 1940's hand wound time piece which would bring over $200 because of curve and length if restored. Measures 20 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 7.5 mm thick. {$75} Item #5030

Title: Omega Hand Wind Circa 1944 Mechanic's Special

Description: FAIR condition. Darn ugly dial is original but needs refinishing/repainting. The pinks hands and indices are aged or darkened also. All steel snap back case is properly marked and in decent shape. The hand wound Omega Caliber 30T2 movement runs pretty good but could probably use a service as the timing machine shows it off a minute or two per day. Notice the pink gold wheel train. 30T2 movements have really gone up on price recently and this is worth the money just for parts in my opinion. A European market watch, not North American. From our contact in Europe. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 8.5 mm thick. {$219} Item #5150 SOLD

Title: Hard to Find Stainless Steel Rolex Oyster Patent Crowns

Description: MINT condition. Rare and unused 6 mm Rolex screw down crowns for 1940's and 1950's stainless steel oyster models. Limited supply. I've found a dealer in Europe asking 150 EU which is over $230! Talk to your watchmaker about the millimeter size your Rolex requires.  {$75 each} Item #5381

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 SOLD

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 HOLD

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

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
