Title:
Very Rare British Broad Arrow One Button
Artillery
Chronograph
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Nearly one of a kind this type of
chronograph was made specifically for pilots and other military timers
like gunners who where able to determine the range of enemy artillery
units. Factory modified with no hour or minute hand and Valjoux's
special GHT hand wound chronograph movement featuring 17 jewels and
18,000 bph (beats per hour). According to Ziggy this type was issued to
the British Army's Air Observation Post crews. The 1/5 signifies the
ability to record timing intervals to one fifth of a second and although
the TP is not completely understood most agree it means Temporary
Pattern as most war time chronographs have a patt. #3139 style mark
(pattern number). Superb shape with the original finish on the all steel
case. Most military watches were made of chrome plated base metals to
save resources making steel much rarer. Wire lugs ensured
that the watch would not break free from your wrist. The painted metal
dial is original and perfect except for some flaking down at the bottom. A brand new
Hadley Roma black cuff strap is attached. Measures 36.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 43 mm long x 14 mm thick.

service mark in the back which corresponds with the condition of the

Title:
Pristine Mint Three Register Breitling
Chronograph
Description:
PRISTINE MINT condition. Highly desirable Swiss chrono with a Valjoux
7736 hand wound movement which has not seen the light for many
years. 1970's round pusher, friction fit steel back which is fully
marked and has never been removed from the watch. Despite the age this
perfect "dress chronograph" runs great and actually keeps superb time.
All of the chrono functions work perfectly. The heavy gold plated body
is brushed with a thin polished bezel design around the dial. The gold
has darkened to a fantastic and unusual color. It is water resistant,
shock protected, anti-magnetic with stunning gold three register dial.
Chronograph features 60 second timer (long center second hand), thirty
minute timer (sub-dial at three) and 12 hour timer which is the dial at
six. The subsidiary dial at nine is the seconds hand which is normally
where the 60 second chronograph hand is on time only watches. Installed
with a high grade Hadley Roma (not original Breitling) genuine Croc
straps (made in America) in dark brown and although they are slightly
glossy they really highlight this magnificent chronograph. The crystal
is acrylic and can be buffed if scuffed or scratched. Measures 42 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 47 mm long x 14 mm thick.

Title:
18k White and Pink Gold Rolex Cellini Danaos
Description:
NEARMINT condition. Almost a brand new watch obtained from
the original owner. One scratch
found on the crown side and some super faint scuffs. Heavy white and
pink 18K gold case with a sweet Rolex 20 jewel hand wound movement. Click on
the image to the left for a close-up. The original strap is a bit used and
extra long. We are supplying a new high grade strap in addition, one of
your choice. Original 18k white gold Rolex buckle and all the boxes and
manuals. I believe the retail is about $5350 plus tax if you buy from an
authorized dealer. The Rolex Cellini (C is pronounced like a Ch) was
designed as an honor to the Italian Renaissance artist, Benvenuto
Cellini who was a master jeweler and sculpture. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Title:
Extra Nice 1973 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date
Description:
EXCELLENT condition. Formerly the property of a local
collector. Beautiful Reference 1500 Swiss made automatic water and dust
proof oyster cased Rolex in very nice condition. Plenty of small nicks
and scuffs but no sign of dealer over buffing, if buffed at all. Signed
Rolex screw down crown, non-quick set Rolex 26 jewel Caliber 1570 full
rotor automatic movement and Ref. 78350, 19 mm oyster bracelet. The
clasp has obvious signs of buffing and some small dents on the sides (of
the clasp). Could be the collector who owned this put the spring link
in. A special link has been added to go over the hand but the bracelet
still fits a 7 and 1/2 inch wrist but just goes on easier. Bracelet does
have 12 original links. The acrylic crystal is in excellent condition.
This model circulated just before the price boom and probably sold for
about $320 new. Today's watches start at about 5k in steel, more in two
tone or gold. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick.

Title:
Stainless Steel Omega Seamaster Chronograph, Cal 321
Serviced
Description:
VERYGOOD condition. When was the last time you saw a Cal.
321 for under 2k? Our philosophy at WatchCat is to teach while we sell
so that our customers will see how much effort is put into honest
evaluations. We talk about condition in three parts. Dial, case and
movement. Usually the condition of each part matches, but not always.
Cases show age and wear from physical contact with corrosive substances
like sweat and oil from the skin and from hitting or scraping door
jambs, desktops and other hard objects. Dials most often reveal age from
exposure to oxygen, moisture, time and sunlight. Movements show age from
multiple servicing, repairs (burr marks on screw heads, scratched
bridges and plates, non-original replacement parts and wash-out of the
gilt or nickel finish) and extended use. The point? Sometimes a watch
can have a well used or scuffed up case and even an aged dial but still
have a gorgeous nearmint movement. This 1963-64 Swiss made Omega
chronograph shows extensive case wear and has been buffed heavily by our
watchmaker to help the overall appearance. The original dial too shows
dark spots here and there but the movement, a rare Caliber 321 is just
awesome and a real cherry. We have fully serviced, oiled and timed
it at great expense ($250 value/cost). Probably and according to our
best guess (looking at watchmakers marks on the inside of the back) this
watch was serviced 5 or 6 times in its lifetime of 45 years. No
wash-out, a few burr marks and few if any scratches. Wayne, our
watchmaker was impressed and you will be too. Just click on the image to
the left for two super close-up views. All original including the crown
and crystal. We can assume the Omega crystal is original since it has
the symbol in the center, seen under a loupe. What probably is not
original is the subsidiary seconds hand at 3. These usually match the
other sub dial hands but are often changed by the owner for higher
visibility. One of the genres we recommend for rapid appreciation. Comes
with a new genuine croc strap and stainless steel buckle. Measures 36 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick.
