Three Benjamins and change from a Grant.



Twice that in parts and servicing, though.

Picked up this nice f300 in non-working condition last month on EBay. It's just back from service with Rob B in Thailand and it looks great! The service cost me more than the watch 馃榾 Now to find a strap that works with the silver-on-silver colorway...

I just found this today (FOR FREE!)



The scratches are WAY less prominent than in this photo, but the crystal will certainly need a polish. (No idea why my phone camera decided to get all 1980s Penthouse shoot with the focus, but it is what it is).

It is not running, so following your post, I Googled Rob.
I'll send him a detailed email & hopefully, he will be able to resurrect it. I love the blue dial & the size is perfect for my big dumb wrists.

I snagged this one for $156. I am not convinced that it isn鈥檛 a redial? The lines seem a bit wonky, but I will see when it gets here. It鈥檚 a Jonell cased FX 6282, I think it鈥檒l look great after a service and a new strap. 馃榾

I thought so too! I鈥檝e seen a better looking one on this forum. It would have been such a nice feature before phone calendars existed.

Posted a thread earlier regarding this piece, but still a new pick-up! Hour hand looks to be a relume but the case and dial are pretty clean.

CK2450 from 1949, $450.

I got this just over $400 in 2019. Finally serviced it in 2020. The bracelet was terrible underneath despite it looking great on the top, so I sourced a NOS one. It was a great impulse buy!

Picked up this 198.0027 constellation on a JB Champion hummer bracelet. Little piece of 70鈥檚 crazy. It wasn鈥檛 running when I bought it so it slides right into this post. Just needed a new battery
