New watch for my 4 year birthday girl

 

Its a nice day at local flea market.

These 2 Seikos cost a whole 150usd

Baby panda 6138-8000 (missing a pusher)

Pogue 6139-6005 completely original with fading to white inner bezel

 

Dibs on the 6138-8000

 

You absolute bastard!

 

It's not often you come across a gilt datejust. Yesterday had the chance to buy two of them!

 

Black Bay Bronze

 

Is it just me, or does the watch on the right have a substantially beefier case?

Nice pair!

 

Mark II, came with original box and papers

 

Its not that bad in real life. Right indeed a bit better but would still choose left because of the hands and rivet bracelet:

 

I'm a Rolex ignorant, but have read about "beefy" and "thin" cases before, this was the first time I could see two slightly different, ahem, cases next to each other. Both look great to me

I like the one on the right better due to the handset and the bracelet

 

Ho Hum, not a real Pogue. Got the wrong sub-dial hand.

 

Pogue is 6002, right?

 

You are right. The real one is 6139-6002 I think with the wording: water 70m resistant and smaller sub dial hand . But but his watch got the inner bezel fading to white too

 

Just having a stir.

The real Pogue had a replacement sub dial hand.

I see now.
Thanks.

 

By the way, original Pouge was sold for $6k, so paying $150 for two Seikos was really good score))))

 

Not today but yesterday I bought this:


A whole, hard earned fifteen of your British pounds (plus commission which is ... counts on fingers ... erm ... £18.30). For 46 quartz ... just eugh. There's a couple of 80s Swatches in there; an Irony; a few Donna Karen branded things .... but there was this hiding in the bottom:



A Timex Electric 67 circa 1962-65 .. quite an appealing linen dial. I thought it was more than worth a punt seeing as I've got 44 watches to put on eBay for spares/repairs now and if I just break them up into lots of 5 or 6 watches and sell each lot for a couple of pounds that should cover the Timex and a battery.

Oh, I might keep this one too:



I also bought, get this ... a quarter of a tonne ... that's 250kg or 550lbs of books. God only knows what possessed me but they weren't going to sell so I offered £5 for the lot. I'm not sure whether I should sort and sell them or just open a lending library and make my money back on the late fees. (So far I've found 6 early, but not first, editions of Kipling ... and that's just what's sitting on top of the boxes).

 

Ah hahahaaaaaa!!!

I would have loved to see your face when reality sunk in

 

If we're talking about sinking, you should have seen the suspension on the van after I got them all loaded!
