Seamaster 2990 for ~$450, delivered directly to my door by the seller. The dial is nearly flawless, crown is a service replacement.

Very nice 10/10 don’t you just love a sub dial ?

This arrived today approx $350 worth including postage

And this one I got the other week. Needs some TLC but will be worth it

Bought an Orient Star Classic. Did the job for a while. But ultimately grew bored

Also tried a Seagull 63 reissue. Same deal -.-

Got this Seamaster COSMIC for 350€. Probably paid too much, but the dial is so clean, everything seems too be original. Slightly overpolished, but it fits my wife like a glove 😀
I must say i am surpised that these are so unpopular, they look really fun in person.

I got a strap and a bracelet with it, but it doesnt really fit this model.

You do know what the bracelet is.... don’t you ?

Edit to add: @Eve if you don’t know and like you say it doesn’t suit the watch, then I’ll give you a couple of hundred bucks for it then you can buy any beautiful leather strap you like 😁. It’s a great deal... just, erm, don’t google 1039 first ! What number are the end links ?

The endlinks dont have any numbers. I dont know what are these.
Yes, i googled it and i was surprised!
Edit: it seems now i just have to find the right watch for the bracelet 🙄

The Swiss Army was $1. The other 4 were $20 for the lot. The HH Chantplain is not shown as it is pieces. Swiss Army, Benrus, and Timex all strong runners. Bulova, Chantplain need love.

Came with an unoriginal bracelet, let's try hornback and see how that works out.

Is there any demand for off-brand bracelets? The end links fits this 36mm case nicely:

This guy for $11 delivered, ‘cause I was feeling nostalgic. Was hoping for a birth year, but not quite, I’m definitely older. (Yup, still beeps and has that barely there light - love it!)
