    While I have not heard of the brand, it most likely is a diver from the mid-late 70s using a 1 jewel (balance) pin/pallet movement; as they were cheap and designed to fight against the quartz revolution at the time. Funky looking, as long as internal parts are free of wear and properly oiled. Won't be the most accurate watch though :p

    14 months and still waiting for Aldo to finish restoring my Seamaster Bezels. :(

    So its quicker to find and buy an Aldo restored bezel, I was lucky enough to find this bezel for sale and quickly grabbed it...my 2913-3 is now complete.

    Maybe my original Bezels will be returned by Christmas.

    I've always felt that straps play a huge part in the look of a watch, and i always love switching it up/been a huge fan of leather watch bands. But i think this time, i went overboard(overbought)...

    I'm holding back on buying watches so I'm completing the ones I have.

    I bought this lot for the UG buckles and got some Longines and Certinas. Anyone interested?

    Sorry evening photo.

    I bought a Citizen BN0-151 from Reddit today! the price was too good to pass. I had this same watch a couple months back, but I traded it. I have wanted another one ever since. its a great tough, cheap 200m diver, and the Eco-drive is just great and worry free. i know the pics are upside down, thats how they were sent to me. but it comes with the 2 straps shown. great deal for $100!

    All gold plated? If there was a stainless steel one or two...

    Two watches from separate lots. Longines is a bit beat up, and dial is possibly redone; however, for the price of a good dinner, I'll gladly wear it!

    18k Lemania ref 9105 OT "Or Totale". Cal 4650 in-house automatic. Case by EPSA.
    Relatively uncommon. I have high hopes it will clean up nicely.
    It's been a good day!:)
