·Tissot PR516 Chronograph.
Just bought at a heavily contested auction tonight, this is definitely a project watch, missing pusher and non working movement with a stuck winder, could well be water ingress given the missing pusher however no evidence of dial degradation so I am hopeful that is not the case.
But lots of good, looks like original crown, lens looks recoverable and original strap and clasp, case is not shabby at all.
Bought at a good price but not cheap as these are very sought after by collectors, lots of bids and I had ceased my bidding only to find there were no more bids ( thankfully).

·I threw in a low bid on this fully expecting not to win, but I did. It fills two holes in my collection, before this I didn't have a constellation or an F300. It should clean up nicely, and the bracelet is a bonus. I have small wrists, but this watch is from Japan. Fingers crossed that the bracelet fits.

·Please share pictures after you get it cleaned up. It looks like it will be a lovely piece!
1: Pre Swatch era
2: Early to mid 70's style
3: It's a Chronograph
4: Looks very original to me
5: Whilst not particularly rare, they rarely come up for sale and I am unlikely to find another at this price point.
6: I only have modern era Tissots in my collection.

·I don't normally buy Tissot and have only opted for this one as it ticks a lot of boxes.

·I was lucky enough to snag this beauty last week. The 14k case has seen better days and the movement needs a spa visit, but the dial is stunning!

·A steel cased, enamel dialled Landeron Hahn monopusher/column wheel, 40mm or so. I've been eyeing it for some time time now, and just made an offer. YOLO...
(sellers picture, I'm waiting for it)
If it works well it can be a very nice watch after a service and a sweep hand replacement. Not very expensive either, considering the quality of this old thing. Anything modern with this kind of dial and movement would send its price tag into stupid territory.
And also, because it's Chrismas time, a 50eur wall clock with a fun twist : you pull the string to wind it. Imhof was a high quality 8 days clock maker back then. This one would be from the 40s or 50s I think with this handset style.

·How a new blue chrono hand and a steel capped crown can make a difference... Now it needs a proper strap.
Not obvious in pictures but the thing feels as big as my moonwatch.
