AU$500 which is US$345

145-022 71 from 1973, my birth year.
In a dusty second-hand store in a small town in rural Australia.
I damn near pissed my pants. I still can't wipe the grin off of my face.

 

whowwww

 

Well picked this little gem up today 9ct Garrards auto day date1970’s C case. Just over £300 ( under $400)

 

Picked this Connie yesterday from a local watchmaker for $300. Looks to be in really nice shape, for a gold plated watch.

 

Wow look at those lugs.

 

I was 100% sure I posted this here but it's gone - got this Luminox 2 weeks ago got this for $395



EDIT - so the post wasn't gone - it was accidentally in the "what Omega did you buy for under $500 thread" and so I deleted the 1st one.

 

Picked this little guy up for $200 to use as a beater. It keeps good time, it has some nice ghosting on the bezel, and I'll be darned if it doesn't have one of the best-feeling bezel racheting mechanisms I've ever tried. I've played with Rolex, Tudor, and Omega divers before, but this somehow feels better.

 

If this model Hamilton wasn't quartz it would be extremely popular - looks wise it is fantastic. Hands, dial, bezel - all tritium. Amazing. Would be worth at least 10x as much if automatic.

 

I completely agree. I bought it thinking it would just be a wacky little quartz piece, but I've really grown fond of it. It's even got a fun vintage size at 38mm. Better image of the faded bezel:

 

Looks great, didn't knew Hamilton made those beauties!

 

used Seiko SRPC23J1 aka Grey Turtle for ~$325 shipped via a watch forum. PS..sorry for the old picture as I didn't wear it today..

 

Sweet looking watch.

 

I just received this King Seiko Varac yesterday and it was $400. Can’t explain how cool the dial is in person. Even my wife noticed it and liked it.

 

9ct Tissot 1975 Seamaster under $300 bargin

 

569.001 - Maybe a typing error?

If it is a ref. 568.001 the bracelet could be a ref. 5403/553.

166.032 with 750 cal. Under $200

 

My dynamic is finally ready. Found the bezel to attach the band on. It took. A month. I’m putting of picking it up as it may be my last acquisition for a while. Looking forward to it, dynamics are nothing special but I find them unique

 

1927 Elgin. Bought as a donor watch but not compatible. Jim gave it a clean up and wow

Oh yes $96

 

I wish now that I'd convinced you that it was rubbish .

That dial really sparkles when it moves around in the light .

 

Finally got my dynamic back from service. Cost me 200 not including service. They really have that 70’s look although I’m not exactly sure what year this is. I really like the second hand on these.
