    Found a nice little 30mm Seamaster at an antiques fair this morning:

    Needs a bit of a clean up and I have some suspicions on the dial but the price was pretty good.

    Eska 18k chronograph, i know nothing about Eska beside that the King of Cowboys, Roy Rogers, had one (not a chronograph though) and that's enough for me

    Modern 5 with vintage notes, could not be any better for summer beater, if you don't want anything divers looking...
    With limited edition on the dial and price point of $150.... can't beat this one.
    P.S. After I bought explorer 2 earlier this year, told myself to slow down a bit, but you all know how it goes... seiko-srpa91k1.jpg

    No crystal, no second hand, no bezel, and no idea about the movement or the caseback. What could possibly go wrong ?

    Oh, nothing. Make sure that the seller ships them all together in a cardboard box. And please document the unpacking :D

    Straight after buying I asked the seller to gently bubble wrap the Seiko and put it in a small box within the bigger box so that the 2 kilos of junk watches don't destroy it. He promised he would...

    Bought last week but arrived today. I'm normally a bit of a cheapskate, but I finally decided I needed some nicer straps to go with the better watches I have.

    What can I say, I bought a lot in the last few days !

    This also arrived today, and I have to say my luck was in. I have a very rough Junghans Bundeswehr chronograph that I bought two years ago, and it needed a donor movement but nothing ever really appeared apart from complete working watches which obviously weren't cheap. Then I spotted what appeared to be a J88 chrono in a job lot of watches last week, which I won, and it arrived today. The seller didn't want to say anything about the condition and everything was spares/repairs only. Well, it seems to be in pretty good condition, it runs, and the chrono both starts and resets ! Happy days :)

    And I also got an anti-mag "Omega" in the same lot. That'll see the business end of a hammer before going in the bin. It's a shame it's there at all though, as it may have pushed the bids higher if anyone was thinking it was legit. My pics of the J88 at the top, sellers pics from the listing below.
