Tres bien! Movado was one the great watch houses of the 20th century. I love their calander watches and Wadsworth cases are amongst the best ever made, period. I have a 17 jewel triple in 14k (uncommon) which I bought off an old timer in my office not long after I started working. 99.9% are 15 Jewels.

On the chrono side, the cal. 95 is one of the most sought after watches right now.
Well thank you. You are correct the manual wind triples are for the most part 15 jewels. This one is an auto with 17 jewels.

...I had a relapse this week. Cue two incoming watches and an old Omega strap w/ buckle + watch box 馃う馃う馃う

Only consolidation is that all items were pretty good deals. At least that's what I keep telling myself... Just hope that none of them will end up in customs for 1陆 months this time 馃

Hell no. I'm still waiting for last shipment, no way I'm going to jinx this one as well.

Seiko 6117-8000 late 60's GMT

http://www.ebay.com/itm/perfectt-seiko-navigator-WATCH-6117-8000-gmt-automatic-1968-original-bracelet-/291775690442?nma=true&si=QnovDwPy6XIG5rhVgP4qNrUNz%2Fs%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557



Took a flyer on this one... Oddly I put in a much lower bid on this watch, but ebay is showing the asking price as the sale price. Pictures suck but show just enough to cover the gotcha points, the case will either be great or meh... but the hands, dial and bezel look great! I know he has low sales numbers but I got emailed confirmation pics of the watch at a different time as well as the caseback so crossing fingers...

I just so liked the box. The watch and the paperwork were thrown in with it for a princely sum of $80 for the complete set.

Saw this the other day on a thread and decided to get it even though it is rather pricy for a quartz watch and not an Omega. I like the clean design and the quirky second hand feature. To be honest the reviews I have read are not to great, problems with the movement, but it is a fun bit of kit.

Congrats on the Wittnaeur. You can get enough watches for all occasions and outfits for less than a decent new watch. Love the Speidel bracelet! I have been on a Longines campaign myself. All American-cased watches except my 30L's. Original Speidel a bonus, original box and papers a total, all-in deal maker. My watchmaker just smiles when I bring in some more business.

I just think they are just so undervalued. Some great pieces out there for sure. Especially from the 60's. Very cool.
