Bought this Kakume (Japan Domestic Market) last week, it's had a rough life, but I bough it for $250 and it's all original (except the crown). Movement was in good shape too. Sent in for service today, hopefully will come back to me refreshed next week.

Looks like you did well for $250. I bet it will clean up nicely. Please share photos when it comes back.

Picked up this lovely Breitling AVI 765 (not sure of the year yet - c. 1965?)

Well, another bidder caused me some pain on this one, but I had to have it.

Bought this Dynamic for my father today. As mint as it could possibly come. Comes on original bracelet and with the additional leather strap.

My wife asked me to buy her this vintage Certina. I was happy to oblige. Pic from seller.


She then got me an imperial stout as a thank-you gift. The beer was more expensive than the Certina. Profit!

I have to say, it’s been a great week for watch hunting. Got this Chronostop (driver variant) today. Had my eyes wide open for a while, until I found one in very very good condition.

Just bought this 'estate sale' Hamilton on eBay (seller’s photos) and will post better photos once it arrives.

Took a chance with this one (all the others I saw recently were much pricier and/or suffering from more problems) :



pro : overall looks nice, general feeling of use, delivered on what looks like to be a Graf Bund strap from 1993 with a cool buckle.
cons: H hand touched up, has a strange top case variation with smoother lugs, no serial and no pusher cutouts. I file this one under mystery/possible service case. After delving in various forums: nothing much conclusive? I'd rather have this than a sparkling fresh nos looking one claiming to be a 50 years old original milwatch.

Lovely on the wrist, bigger than a speedy but not as bulky as I feared.

Picked this up from the Los Angeles boutique last weekend. Quite possibly the most unloved LE Speedmaster out there. Personally, I love the dial.
