Description: EXCELLENT condition. Wonderful pink gold and steel Omega Pie Pan Constellation with date and nice croc strap. This original silvered two tone dial is fantastic and in mint condition with pink indices, hands and date window frame. The black centers are onyx. The bezel is pink gold and t he lugs have a thick pink gold cap. The crown is yellow gold filled though and an Omega but we are still looking for a pink Omega crown. Had some light scratches but its been buffed a little by Wayne and he has gone over the 24 jewel in-house Omega Caliber 564 full rotor movement and regulated it for accuracy. It is very clean and nice, keeping good time. This is a rare quick set date. Rare for a vintage watch. That upgrade is common now but most movements did not have a quick set until the last decade of the American mechanical watch era (1960's). This gem was made in 1966 according to the serial number. Case reference #168.005. The polished steel back has some old case wrench marks we've buffed a bit and a solid pink gold observatory medallion. Although this watch has lightly buffed scratches, the overall condition when considering the mint dial, nearmint movement and nearmint case is sweet. Look between the lugs for bracelet wear marks (none) and edge sharpness and original finish. The acrylic crystal is signed Omega in the center and is in perfect condition. The strap on this watch is used but has a nice color which goes with the pink and we can help you choose something brand new in exotic skins at no charge to go with this. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$1395} Item #5922 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. This is a modern, limited edition Swiss made time piece with some nice virtues. Extra heavy with a lot of gold (around 35 grams). And a beautiful rose or pink gold color, sweet silvered dial, display back which is highly engraved and decorated and finally, a super high grade chronograph movement which comes with a COSC certificate or also known as a chronometer grade time keeper. With-in a narrow standard set out by COSC for accuracy. Chronometer grade chronograph watches are almost non-existent. Everything is original and in almost perfect condition. The strap is used but no major scratches or nicks that I can see. The large Tissot deployant buckle is probably a heavy gold plate as it is not stamped 18k. Big fancy box and papers come with it. This is an automatic chronograph with an base caliber ETA 2894-2 which is, I am sure, highly modified. I believe retail is about $6500. Measures 40 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 12.5 mm thick. {$4295} Item #5894 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. {$2395} Item #5892

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. {$2390} Item #5913

Description: NEARMINT condition. Sweet German made watch with a unique thin case design (steel), sapphire crystal, understated dial, easily gripped crown, fantastic hand made shell cordovan leather signed Nomos strap (20% used/slightly) and boxes and papers. I believe this was not made in large quantities and is no longer available but it is a fine watch with a classy and expensive fit and feel. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 47 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$1075} Item #5908 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: 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. {$1275} Item #5911

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

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

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 {$5789} SALE

Title: New Old Stock Breitling Transocean

Title: Cool Heuer Two Register Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Nice vintage steel chronograph from a well known manufacturer. Great condition, including the original dial. However, the outer white tachymeter ring has some fading and dark color, only seen really when looking with a loupe or in our close-up photos. It runs perfectly and the chronograph functions as it should. The dial is gray. Fully signed on the dial, case, movement and crown. From a fancy watch repair shop out in California and first sold for $2500! Comes with this silver carbon fiber style HR strap but you may choose another if you don't like this one. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$1175} Item #5795

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 HOLD

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 HOLD

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. Comes with the original boxes, papers and hang tags and that includes the signed certificate with correct matching reference and case serial numbers. E serial/circa 1991. Beautiful modern ladies prestigious watch with excellent provenance. This model can be seen for sale on many websites but much higher at around 3k. Measures 27 mm wide (not including the crown) x 33 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$2195} Item #5503 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. The Tutima Military is one of the most popular and affordable chrono's on the market today. With a sapphire crystal, screw down crown, 24hr sub dial at 12, double quick set day and date, special leverized pushers, parkerized finish and Lemania's venerable Caliber 5100 automatic chronograph movement  one can see why. Normal seconds sub dial at 3. The long orange hand is chronograph seconds, the orange arrow hand behind it counts minutes, up to each hour and the 12hr counter is at 6. There is a bi-directional rotating bezel for a second method of timing, up to 60 minutes. The crown has a neat little moat for your finger nail to grab onto while setting or winding. Comes with the small Tutima box and papers and has some significant scuffs on the clasp and a few on the bracelet. Not sure how to buff titanium and even if I did, the finish would be shiny, not bead blasted like it is now. Apparently these watches retail for $3500-$4500 and are seldom discounted. Measures 44 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$1895} Item #5772 SOLD

Description: EXCELLENT condition. For about three years now our customers have been asking for Doxa Subs but the prices have gone up so fast it has been hard to find one in good condition for under a grand (at the wholesale level). So, testing the market with this extra fine example. The Doxa sub or shark hunter dive watch was popularized by Dirk Pitt adventure writer, Clive Cussler in his novels after he (Clive) was given his first Doxa diver in 1969. He had been working in a dive shop while finishing his first book and was moving on, thus presented with a going away gift. He then honored the watch by including it in his Dirk Pitt stories. Notable for super thick and heavy steel screw back cases, screw down crowns. luminescent tritium indices and a uni-directional diving table bezel this example is in fine condition with the original finish, dial and hands. It also keeps chronometer grade time having been timed on our timing machine and wound, set and worn in various positions and serviced by Jack at IWW while in the previous owners possession. Not signed by the US distributor US Divers Co. on the dial (see this model we sold three years ago) and with the metric version of the depth table bezel tells me this could have been a military watch or sold original in Europe. The sailboat insignia on the back dates to 1968 or earlier according to Doxa representatives. The strap is a generic rubber but you may choose any strap you like with a $50 credit towards that purchase (if over that amount). Measures 43 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$1275} Item #5736 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

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Made in 1925 according to the Longines Caliber 10.86N serial number. And, this dial if not original is very very old. In other words, if refinished it was done in the 1940's when Radium might have been used as there are light burns on the dial where the hands set for years and also burns on the inside of the crystal above each Arabic numeral. Solid silver dial marked "Stern 0.935 Geneve" on the back and original 14k yellow gold case reference #63854-10/86 in great shape and carrying a fine thin Hadley Roma Alligator dress strap in dark dark brown. It has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne the watchmaker and comes with a one year service warranty. The crown is new and easy to grip. Measures 26 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$1079} Item #5647 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 HOLD

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. Stunning European market two tone Omega Pie Pan circa 1961 or 62 which has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker and comes with a one year service warranty. Superb Omega Caliber 551 movement works perfectly and has 24 jewels. Outstanding near perfect silvered pie pan dial is original and only shows some super tiny lacquer bubbles which are hard to see even with magnification but you know how we like to be accurate. Signed crown is probably a newer Omega replacement. The crystal is also original with the Omega symbol stamped in the center. A brand new American made Hadley Roma crocodile strap is included. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$1295} Item #5495 HOLD

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 what those are and what the next generation (1969,70,71) moon watch looks like. Notice the different dial and back. 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

Very nice watch from the early 1970's with Omega's in house Caliber 861 chronograph movement which is the same one used in the Speedmaster Professional Man on the Moon watches. It is hand wound and keeps excellent time. The steel screw back case has been refinished and looks like new except for some smoothness on the back where the seahorse is. The gray dial is perfect and more popular than the black as it is slightly less common. The crystal is also perfect with its tachymeter printing on the underside. A fun and somewhat rare watch in great shape with the original Omega signed crown and bracelet which will fit a 7 and 1/2 inch wrist. You may substitute a new leather strap at no additional cost. Measures 41 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$1475}  Item #5483 SOLD

Title: Rare Heuer Carrera Abercrombie and Fitch Automatic

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Really nice time piece with a 99%perfect original blue dial and rare Caliber 12 micro-rotor automatic chronograph movement. The Cal. 11 was the world's first automatic chronograph. We don't see it or the 12 very often at all. It is especially nice to have a private label dial with the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (a high end retailer) notation. Minor scuffs and nicks and one ding on the signed crown. Heavy signed slotted screw back. The outer tachymeter track is mostly gone or slipped out of alignment (just the printing) as this was made with a decal on the white portion. It is the only part of the watch which doesn't look real nice. Runs great and keeps good time. Some luminescent material is missing from the original hands. A great find and affordable in today's high priced market! Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 13.5 mm thick. {$1675} Item #5786 SOLD
