Title: Fine Vintage Beaded Bezel Breitling Navitimer, Ref. 806 AOPA Logo

Description: NEARMINT condition. Believe it or not, this watch came from a little old lady in Pasadena. She brought it into the shop of a watchmaker friend a few years ago. He wore it for awhile then sold it. What is special about this watch besides the provenance I've just mentioned, is the condition. You may or may not know but many dealers call buffed or refurbished watches nearmint. Once a watch, steel or gold has been buffed, its original finish is lost forever. That is one reason this fine Patek Philippe, click here....sold for such a high price. Never buffed. Same here. Never ever buffed. There are numerous micro fine scuffs, some light scratches and a few tiny nicks. Most are visible only upon close examination but the polished lug tops show these scuffs the clearest. The rare beaded bezel rotates, and is in perfect condition. Steel snap on back is marked 972431 on the inside, for collector reference. 806 on the outside of the back is the model number. As you can clearly see in our photos, the AOPA dial matches the overall condition. With an old tool watch (used by pilots) of this type, finding a dial which looks almost new is very difficult. Some specs of dirt can be seen on the outside of the case in our close-up photos as I've not cleaned the external portion. A damp cloth will easily get it and I'll do that before shipment. But, you can also see just how little wear it has. Look at the shot between the lugs. All original. Nothing has been changed, exchanged or replaced. Except the strap, of course. Comes on a brand new Hadley Roma 886 but also has a modern Breitling strap, well used and a Breitling steel buckle. Both were added by the watchmaker who purchased it from the lady. That is the original box also which may come as a surprise considering we all expect a square box these days. I will throw in a one year warranty on the perfect pink Breitling (Venus Caliber 178) hand wound movement and most of our customers already know this but when anyone who has purchased a watch from us needs help, we do it. Even if a long time has passed, after the sale. This large, rare and extra fine sport chronograph measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 59 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$5975} Item #6080

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Scuffs, some light scratches and nicks too but overall in nice shape. Not buffed. Checked out by Wayne and a new battery added. How these watches work exactly was previously unknown by any human (just kidding) as they are fairly complicated with chronograph and timer functions, alarms, quick set date, low battery indicator, math problems using the slide rule bezels, nautical and mile conversions, distance of climb or descent, rate of climb or descent, gasoline consumption, miles per minute, ground speed and on and on. Caliber B 233. On a brand new Hadley Roma 886  strap which is the exact strap Breitling uses on many of their strap watches. Measures 43 mm wide (including the crown which is flush with the case) x 46 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$1275} Item #5933

Description: EXCELLENT condition. There are not many of these large watches on the market from what I can see. It has been that way for some time as astute collectors hold on to the rarest and most desirable pieces. One of the reasons this watch is so popular is the monstrous case. For the time, it was very large and even today, the size is pretty substantial. They are heavy, tonneau shaped oyster cases (reference 6075 on inside back and between lugs) with thick screw on backs and thin coin edge, milled bezels. I say "they" as several different reference numbers and models use this large gold oyster case. The star dialed triple date moon phase sells for about 75k with an original dial and uses this exact case design (reference #6062). Original dials are more important then you could imagine when evaluating market prices of the best collectables. Up to 30% of the total value in my opinion can be attributed to original dials on valuable and rare watches. This original gold dial has Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust in fine original black print over the center pinion and Officially Certified Chronometer under. Gold rimmed date window with alternating red and black (original) date wheel. 18k gold applied arrow markers and coronet. Thin line of lum thru the center of the original gold hands and tiny luminescent dots on the outside of each indice. The finely detailed minute chapter is slightly sunk and has a different hue, satin-ish. The super oyster crown is signed and correct and most likely the original as they are very rare. Some micro fine nicks on the bezel and other signs of normal use like buffings/smoothness of edges and light loss of the reference and serial numbers between the lugs. Wayne is going over this watch for evaluation and it will come with a one year warranty on the covered Rolex Auto Rotor movement. It is also on a brand new Hadley Roma MS 2010 Caiman Crocodile strap. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$6775} Item #6040

Description: NEARMINT condition. Refurbished in Bienne (Omega) with a signed and probably new old stock Omega crown, easy to grip. Sweetly and expertly buffed anti-magnetic and water proof Royal Air Force issue. Heavy slotted back screws down. Anti-magnetic iron core helps protect against anti-magnetism. Fully and properly marked. A new old stock Omega thin arrow dial and hands and probably the signed acrylic crystal were added. All told, almost $1000 cost to the previous owner. Comes with the service/repair/restoration invoice which has matching serial and case numbers and a new nylon one piece strap. Also has a certificate from Omega with some cool facts and the same matching serial and case reference numbers. The Thin Arrow model is the most popular model with fewer made then the Fat Arrow examples. In my opinion, this is the coolest Omega of its kind and it is down to the size, heft and thickness of the case, the military provenance and the sweet, easy to read dials. It is matte black with bright white Arabic numerals, radium dots and white broad arrow skeleton radium hands. The long white center second stands out easily. One of the rarest and most desirable vintage watches on the market today. Measures 37.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$hold} Item #6041

Title: New Old Stock One Owner Breitling Transocean w/Extra Link

Description: MINT condition. Some very faint scuffs seen with a loupe If you look closely enough and some "wrist dirt" from a couple years of light use. This watch has an extra link which was nearly impossible to obtain and makes it large enough for a 7 and 1/2 to 7 and 5/8ths inch wrist. All original. No box or papers. Purchased here at WatchCat.com a couple of years ago by a careful collector. The Transocean is one of the most beautiful watches the company made, in my opinion. The dial is just fantastic in all ways and unique with the color. As you can see by looking at our close-up photos, this heavy steel water resistant chrono is well made with cool pushers and an easy to grip "B" signed crown. This is a hand wound time piece, using a Swiss made Breitling signed Valjoux 7740 movement which is in mint condition and keeps good time. You know you are wearing a watch when this is on your wrist and that is unusual in vintage watches. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick. Item #5913 {$2190}

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Pretty nice watch with little sign of wear or use. Some, not a lot though. I can see some faint scuffs on the gold center links if I look hard in the right light and one or two very faint nicks down on the backside edge of the main body...that is about it. Another way to judge condition on Rolex bracelet watches is to look at the spot where the clasp and extension clasp rub the inside of the bracelet. I've taken two extra photos of this area which barely shows a rub mark. X serial number is around 1991. Sapphire quick set with no edge chips, scrapes or scuffs on the crystal or any marks on the gold bezel that I can see. The crown is nice and tight as is the bezel. Blue dialed Subs are really gorgeous watches and very popular in the market place. Bracelet is pretty tight also without much droop. See photo. Click on the image to the left. Measures about 40 mm wide (not including the crown, crown guard or bezel which sticks out over the edge of the main body) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$5695} Item #6016

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. A little over four years in age/reference 2531-8000, this is one of the finest wearing watches made as far as I am concerned. Especially for the money. It is the model Pierce Brosnan made popular in his James Bond movies and I read that Omega may discontinue it which seems weird as the prices just keep going up for both new and pre-owned. Pre-owned near mint models used to sell for around $1400, we've sold quite a few. Check out our pre-owned price guide under "O". But, looking at other online sellers it seems $1800 is the new pre-owned price. Made of heavy high grade steel the head and bracelet is super smooth and feels fantastic on the wrist. Sweet blue wavy dial, blue divers bezel which rotates to time stuff, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, automatic quick set date chronometer grade movement, screw down crown, helium escape valve/crown and all the original boxes, warranty cards, chronometer card/certificates with matching serial numbers and instructions. Unopened and un-buffed. I can just see some super fine scuffs on the clasp, few on the bracelet-very faint and none on the brushed and polished head that I can find. Never buffed so the original finish is intact. Fits my 7 and 5/8ths inch wrist just right. I do have a Seamaster Pro bracelet if you need more links but....not sure I want to poach those off of it as it will lose its value. Branded links are hard to get for almost any company as just about the only way to buy them is to walk into an authorized shop. I have no sources for brand name bracelet links. Just FYI. Retail price for this full size model is now up to $3200!  Measures 42 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1395} Item #6012 HOLD

Description: NEARMINT condition. Sweet! Large and having a rare double wheel big date, double mainspring Jaeger LeCoultre Caliber 875 movement on display through the sapphire crystal back where you can see contrasting blue screws, fancy Geneva stripes or plate decoration, cut-out area near the center wheel and visible balance assembly. On the other side we see a simple but beautiful engine turned dial with power wind indicator top left. Made originally for active polo players who wanted to protect the glass or crystal from damage or rough conditions and the famous flip over construction is the result. I think that this watch retailed for 11 or 12k but I can't find any for sale so I know few are available. Wayne lightly buffed some micro-fine scuffs from the case and there are one or two faint nicks if you look real close but they are small. The largest and most noticeable is that tiny mark just north of 11, near the top of the main body of the case. The used JLC strap gives an idea of how much the original owner used the watch. Year or two of use in total? The original box and papers are marked 2005. A new Hadley Roma Caiman MS 2012 strap is also included and fits the original signed JLC deployant buckle. Not any strap will fit it. The original used JLC strap also comes with this watch. Wayne said that it is keeping superb time and has a fantastic and impressive movement. Measures 29.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$6775} Item #5804 {$4999} HOLD

Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. This is a very popular 1960's vintage chronograph and diver which was often purchased for use in the workplace, sometimes called a tool watch. So, most got used up and are not around any more or in bad condition. Even though this does not have a screw down crown the waterproofing system was very efficient and this particular watch has just been pressure checked and serviced by the last owner's watchmaker. He (the watchmaker) was surprised that the case was so waterproof. For me personally, my expensive watches don't go in the water for fear of leakage, even if waterproof and I can't guarantee this to be waterproof but I doubt it will fog up like some vintage watches do if they get wet or get in the rain even. Refurbished some years ago, I believe from what I can see on the case which looks very nice and has brushed finish on three sides and the top.  The Valjoux 7734 was recently serviced and works perfectly. The dial is perfect and original but I think the indices at each hour have been re-lumed. Maybe not, but the color is greenish and think it should be yellow, same color as the lum on the tips of the original hands. Tested at the factory for 400 feet depths and recently at 100 meters plus. I've put our Amro Sailcloth straps from Europe on it for your pleasure (or not). You can pick something else if you like. Measures 42 mm wide across the bezel (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$1175} Item #5911

Title: Outstanding Vintage Rolex Submariner, Circa 1965

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Found on its original nicked up and now buffed folded link 9315 Swiss made flip lock rare early diver's bracelet with suit extension in the clasp. Head nicked scuffed, and then buffed. Purchased from the original owner who wore it a lot and then lost part of the bezel. The one in the photo is a replacement. Working on the original. Fully serviced, oiled and timed with a one year warranty. New domed correct style acrylic crystal. Mint plus original matte dial. Mint plus original hands. Circa 1965. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$available soon} Item #5983 HOLD while sourcing an original 5513 bezel insert

Description: NEARMINT condition. One owner high grade automatic with some cool features like the tritium gas filled tubes in the dial and hands. Really unique flat anti-glare sapphire crystal. Screw down crown. Sweet polished and brushed comfortable steel bracelet with hidden double deployant clasp. 100 ft water resist. Original box, papers, booklet, unsigned warranty card, hang tag and two extra links which are unused. Light scuffs only. Should hand polish to nearmint easily. Retail for these has gone up quickly and this model is no longer available from what I can see. Now lowest price I can find is about $1600. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13.5 mm thick. {$1069} Item #5961 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Purchased from an estate and only owned by the family, not collectors. Fantastic original blue dial is to die for on a Rolex and I believe that is one reason why Air-King watches have gone up in value. Also, the clean no-date dial configuration is attractive and enjoyed by purists. The stainless steel oyster case is in original unbuffed condition but it was used for many years so there are nicks and scuffs. We notice the finish as original by looking at the tops of the lugs and the small center portion of the back and the edges of the transition areas. Wayne serviced this watch about 3 years ago when our friend, the heir first received it. The jubilee bracelet is correctly marked for a 19 mm jubilee bracelet at the time and these watches along with most other models, including sport models, came with jubilee bracelets. It is a reference 62510-H. It is a bit loose but completely usable and is not worn enough to worry about longevity or safety. I'll deduct $300 if you want the head only. It would look real nice on a padded gator or croc strap. A quick search will show this model for sale for much more most sites. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1879} Item #5963 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This watch is a hair short of new old stock condition. Purchased from an estate and having one good sized scratch on the back and a deep gouge on the side but with the original brushed finish on the sides and very sharp edges (shows little to no buffing over the years which rounds the edges and can make the hinges loose). The 1948 version is two times the watch that the 28 Piping Rock is. Extremely heavy and thick with super tight construction and very tight hinged lugs. This later version also has a thick bowl shaped one piece case rather than the usual snap on back. Enamel bezel is perfect and original. Dial is original but with some light age. We can refinish if you like at no extra cost but it will be awhile to get that done. This has about 20 grams of gold which is a lot for a vintage piece. It also carries a Hamilton 747 American movement which was one of their best. Case #S644435. Serial #Y26481. Completely gone over by Wayne and in superb condition, almost like new. In my opinion this is the finest American made wristwatch ever produced, prior to 1969 when the last company died. Installed is one of the finest American Alligator straps we carry, a DeBeer Paris turned edge hand made in black with a $160 retail value. Comes with a one year service guarantee. If it ever needs service, I'll do it for free. Also comes with a period Hamilton Bakelite box in perfect condition, a $75 value. Measures 28.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$2195} Item #5892 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD/EXCELLENT condition. The Intruder is the last model in the Pluton line which started in 1980 and was discontinued in 1999. Made for pilots and very popular with the military, this cool analog and LCD alarm chronograph watch has a rotating compass bezel with wind-rose inscriptions and an inner compass bearing ring which is inside and goes around the dial. It also does the alarm thing along with an hourly chime if you like, some timing/chrono functions, a 24hr time and 2nd time zone time. I believe this is all original, including the crown, slightly scuffed thick crystal, hands, dial and of course the case. I've added the signed Breitling steel buckle. Case reference #A51035-6142. The Breitling B-232 movement has been gone through by Wayne and brought up to snuff for every day wearing, including a new battery. The strap is a new high grade German waterproof sharkskin, not Breitling. Screw down crown. Reveil, seen under Chronographe on the bottom, means Alarm. These are very collectable and this is the best model for sure, as the 1980's versions were made of lower quality material and not as well designed. Considered a modern watch since it is only 10 years old this can be easily repaired and does not have some of the same problems that earlier quartz watches may have. Measures 42-ish mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1079} Item #5880 HOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. I've seen quite a few vintage Breitling chronographs but I've never seen one of these. It has a screw down crown and old rotating Bakelite divers bezel. It is in good condition although there is one or two cracks, not seen easily and some ageing. Large steel case is fully marked as you can see in the larger photos and is referenced #810, case #452780. That is a common ref. # but this model is not represented in any of my books, literature, sales records or old advertising. It has bee lightly polished and looks very nice. The dial is original with dark dark lum inside the chrome indices and hands. It has a telemeter, tachymeter and 60 second stop watch chapter in the inside, just outside of the indices. The Breitling signed hand wound chronograph movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker and functions perfectly. This particular model uses a Landeron ebauche and a full chronograph service is at least $225 these days. Comes with a one year service warranty and a brand new $200 Hadley Roma Gator strap. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 13xx mm thick. {$1675} Item #5738 TAKE OFF 10%

Description: NEARMINT condition. Purchased just over a year ago with all the original paperwork including the signed and dated warranty card, chronometer certificate and steelfish instruction manual. This model has a really nice triple box set of packaging with a neat one watch holder in the center of the heavy black bakelite box. It makes a great travel watch holder. This is an ultra deep, chronometer graded dive watch with a sapphire crystal, screw down crown, rotating divers bezel for timing and sweet and highly luminescent dial. It is lightly used with one or two micro-fine scuffs which may be so light that a hand rub will remove. I don't think this nice brown thick leather strap is original as it is not signed. Measures 45 mm wide (not including the crown) x 53 mm long x 16 mm thick. {$1375} Item #5877 SOLD

Title: Monster Modern Cartier Santos 100 Automatic

Description: NEARMINT condition. Wow. Big watch with a fantastic design, easily appreciated. Pre-owned,  not NIB as there is a difference in prices because of grade but I've been checking the net and these watches don't sell for peanuts, even in these tough times. Retail is at least 6k with some models seen in the $4700 range. Comes with the original fancy box, booklet and two $500 Cartier (signed with original package) crocodile fitted 22 mm straps. Some micro-fine scuffs on one side, where you unscrew the strap bars (from changing straps) and that is about it for wear or signs of age. Original finish. Original double deployant buckle. Sapphire crystals and in-house movements, from what I understand. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 49 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$2775} Item #5875 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Way better original dial in person than our super close-up photos show. I am looking at it now at 14 inches from my face and can't see the little dark spots that are so visible in our photos. Just looks evenly aged and lightly tan in color. Some buffing done on the case and recently serviced by the previous owner IWC Caliber 852 has a cool patented winding system just like this watch, Click Here called Pellaton and has been fully serviced by the previous owner. Wayne took a look and proclaimed it to be real pretty and clean and running strong, keeping good time. A little bit of research reveals that IWC only had a handful of "in-house" automatic movements, starting in 1950 with the Caliber 81. Then the improved Caliber 85 in the same year and soon after the most efficient and robust, the Caliber 852 which is what this carries. That model was used for years and had a date mechanism added later (Caliber 8521) and also was used in the first Engineers. It wasn't until 1958 that they updated to another with a slight improvement, the Caliber 853/8531 date. Some other features besides the Pellaton winding system are 21 jewels, a jeweled bi-directional rotor, a self compensating Breguet hairspring on the Glucydur two spoke screw balance, Incabloc protects the balance staff from shock, 19,800 bph or beats per hour and a 46 hour power reserve/mainspring. The case is signed as is the crown with the IWC fish. This watch is all original, somewhat rare and should be considered an heirloom multi-generational time piece which can be passed from the old to the new, for ever. I like this DeBeer $160 American Alligator skin strap which can be seen in the photos but we can put whatever you prefer if you don't like it. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$2275} Item #5807 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This fantastic early chronometer grade Omega Constellation has been completely refurbished by Wayne our watchmaker. The 17j Omega, swan's neck fine regulation, Caliber 354 automatic bumper wind movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and comes with a one year service warranty. Wayne has also installed a brand new acrylic crystal and seals for both the crown and the back. The steel case has a water proof slotted screw back with a nice solid gold observatory. The case reference #2652-7SC is one of two first generation introductory Constellation models and as a screw back opposed to a friction fitted or snap back which gives it a higher value as a water proof model. Pretty sharp case condition even with a light buffing. One of the ways to find age is to look inside and on the back of the lugs for wear from bracelet contact. None here. Could have always had a strap but from my experience most watches from the period were sold with bracelets. The holed lugs are long and easy to change straps using a paper clip to push out the spring bars. The dial is black and has been refinished. We've been using (rarely) a quality dial refinisher in Canada but I'm afraid he fouled this one up by not including all of the original text. This was my watch, from my cabinets and the original dial had the correct "chronometer, officially certified" text just below Omega. Not sure why he dropped the ball on this one but I didn't notice this until Wayne had finished his work. A refinished dial lowers the value for astute collectors and honest dealers so my price reflects that and the value from my perspective is attached to the overall aesthetics, early model and fine condition. The crown is from old stock and in new condition and is the correct style for this period, according to my collection of advertising material. This model with a black cross hair dial and no date is one of the most attractive watches Omega ever made and it is also fairly large for the genre when many watches were 32 to 34 mm in diameter. A brand new Hadley Roma dark blue shark skin (MS 2016) strap and a brand new stainless steel genuine Omega buckle is attached. This rare early model Connie is very collectable and when we can get them, they sell very quickly. See this nice example which flew out of the shop within days of listing. Click here. It was item #5229, over 500 watches back and sold a year ago so as you can see, our price for this nicer version in steel is very fair especially considering how fast rare Omega watches have appreciated in value recently. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$1075} Item #5768 SOLD

Description: GOOD condition. This is a magnificent and rare early Longines wrist watch, sold by Tiffany Circa 1915. The earliest wrist watches ever made don't go back much further than this. Certainly a fine, rare and unusual alternative to the usual vest pocket watch worn by most gentlemen. In a gentlemen's square three piece sterling silver snap back case with the original porcelain dial signed Tiffany and Co. and Switzerland just above the subsidiary seconds bit which is at 6. Near perfect but previously buffed signed case (see close up photos by clicking on the image to the left) original silver cabochon crown and cool new hands. The high grade hand wound Swiss made Longines Caliber 11.84N movement but does show light wash out where the nickel plating is faded. This is caused by cleaning solutions. It has 3 adjustments and also has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. This type of watch case although fairly tight in this example, is not a type of case for water and dust resistance. In fact, my watchmaker taught me that they are made to "breath" so that if a little moisture enters, it can also exit when the environment equalizes. The original spring bars with screws are also included along with a new brown watch strap. Fantastic and rare time piece which could be worn by either a man or a woman at this size. Perfect glass crystal. Comes with a one year service warranty. Measures 29 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x  mm thick. {$1079} Item #5352 SOLD

Description: PRISTINEMINT condition. Mid 1970's circulation. Unused condition. Never sold to the public. Head is original in every way and unopened. Sticker on the back is original. Beautiful multi color brown and orange dial.  Hand wound chronograph/timer and time keeper plus date (Valjoux 7740).  Original signed crown on top where the case is asymmetrically thicker than the bottom, opposite the crown and pushers. This design is commonly referred to as a Bullhead chronograph and is much more popular and comfortable than chronos with the usual crown placement. Our Hadley Roma Caiman crocodile strap is attached. Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 54 mm long x 16 mm thick. {$2875} Item #5155

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Rare three register vintage steel Breitling chronograph in great shape with an evenly aged original dial. Signed reference 787 plus some case numbers three piece snap back case and nice high grade movement (Venus Caliber 157) which is running fine and keeping very good time. Priced at an affordable level for such a collectable brand and vintage. Circa 1950-53 in my opinion (there is no sure way to date these like serial numbers). Could be late 40's I suppose. The crown looks like a replacement. Comes with a stunning Hadley Roma genuine Alligator MS824 dress strap and matching steel buckle. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$1479} Item #5723 SOLD

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This hard to find true 24hr time piece was often used by pilots and military men, especially in the Vietnam war. It has a unique hacking feature which is a thin wire that comes up through the dial between the 1 and 2 of 12. This wire stops the second hand so you can calibrate the time to atomic time or other wristwatches, for instance. Also has a 2nd hour hand which is opposite the hour hand and can show you 12 hour time. Finally, the second crown is a locking bezel device and it can make a third use of the extra hour hand for another time zone. For example, if it is noon here in the states and 6pm in London I would set the bezel at the smaller GMT hour hand at the 18 for 18 hundred hours/6pm and then all I need to do for London time is read the bezel where the GMT hand points. This model is one of the many vintage watches which has gone up in value quite a bit in the last 10 years. We sold this exact watch about 7 years ago, for about half, so the original owner is doing well reselling and making a nice profit. All steel with a screw on water proof back. Lots of scuffs, scratches and nicks mostly seen on the back, some on the middle body and lugs and a few on the bezel. Mostly not seen at all with the naked eye as the case has been lightly buffed. Real nice rotating bezel. Crowns are modern replacements. Runs great and remember, this watch only makes one revolution per 24hrs unlike normal time pieces which revolve twice each day. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1175} Item #5773 SOLD

Title: Beautiful Two Tone Omega Constellation w/Pie Pan Dial

Description: VERYGOOD condition. You really have to see this watch in person to appreciate how nice it looks. Very well done refinished pie pan dial looks awesome. Slow set date Caliber 561 has 24 jewels and is adjusted and chronometer rated and has been checked out by Wayne the watchmaker. As you can see in the photo it is very clean without washout or obvious signs of age or dirt. Two tone case is sweet also and has long lugs. Signed gold crown and a Hadley Roma genuine crocodile strap included. Two tone pie pans are around $1600 for perfect dials these days! Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$1075} Item #5098 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Sweet watch, Reference #2444 from the early 1960's, before the Carrera was introduced in 1963. The super clean and pretty Valjoux Caliber 72 chronograph movement works perfectly and has a serial number of 456265. Small round pushers and signed screw back all in excellent condition with a few faint nicks only. Near mint original satin dial with a superb glow and aesthetic appearance to the naked eye. The tiny triangle shaped luminescent "dots" outside the indices have aged beautifully and match the lum inside the hands in color. Perfect acrylic crystal. Modern signed Tag Heuer leather strap and steel Heuer buckle included. Measures 36.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1470} Item #5606 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition.

Description: GOOD/VERYGOOD condition. Although this rare "pre-moon" chronograph has seen better days it does have it virtues. First, it was purchased from the wife of the first and only owner and is all original except for the crown which is a fairly recent authentic Omega replacement. The perfect original dial adds mucho value which has the coveted applied Omega symbol and long tritium indices, the two of which are distinctive of early "pre-moon" speedmaster dials. Also, the bezel insert is original and has faded to a vintage gray in color from black. Most sellers will replace this insert and not disclose that fact as there is not an easy way to tell. Secondly, the Omega Caliber 861 hand wound movement has stayed clean and bright with little sign of age and it has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker which comes with a one year warranty and has a $225 value and is one of the earliest Cal. 861's every produced as they only started them in 1968. Chronographs are very difficult to disassemble compared to time only watches and very expensive to service. The case is full of nicks and scuffs even though we have buffed it lightly and the original Omega crystal which has a black crystal ring has also aged with some lightly buffed scuffs and fading of the crystal ring which you can see under the "swiss made" and in other areas around the outside of the dial. We can put a new correct Omega crystal with the proper black crystal ring on the watch for an additional $100. The original bracelet which is very very rare is available also but it has no end pieces and is for parts only, broken and over used. This model has sold for over $1000 on ebay in good condition (yes, I mean just the bracelet). We'll add a nice strap or after market steel bracelet of your choice. Keeps superb time and the chrono works just like it should. Finally, it is not uncommon to find these old watches with missing anti-magnetic dust covers like ours.

Click here to see the last version (1973 and later) which is basically the same today. Measures 42 mm wide (not including the crown) x 49 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$2195} Item #5567 SOLD
