    I got carried away during the pandemic buying interesting inexpensive watches and I really cannot keep them all. So, I am putting up for sale this 1960s Benrus dress watch with red second hand and arrowhead markers.

    This watch is in truly fine shape and must have spent most of the last 50-60 years in somebody’s sock drawer. Clearly it has not been worn much. You can see from the photos that the dial is fresh looking, the original brushing is visible on the sides of the case and the case back is as clean as a whistle.

    The all-stainless steel case is nicely sized at 34mm sans crown.

    The watch comes on a genuine leather anti-allergenic black strap.

    I have not serviced the watch, but it is running pretty much spot on.

    Considering the pristine condition of this watch, I have priced it at $135 shipped CONUS.

    Payment by PP F&F please. CONUS sale only due to the cost of international shipping.

    I have multiple OF feedback:

    I will take the watch back within 48 hours if you are unhappy. After that, the sale is final.

    I have decided to throw in another Benrus as a freebie.

    This one is a little unusual as it has a brown dial, which is not so common.

    The all stainless steel case is about 33mm and it comes exactly as you see it, sans springbars and strap.

    It winds and runs but clearly needs a service, as it loses about 45 minutes a day.

    I have sent about 15 of these inexpensive watches to watchmakers over the last few months and think I am out of ammo to keep doing that.

    So… this one is a freebie. Two Benrus watches for the price of one.

    Domestic US only please, as it is so much easier for me to ship domestically.
