Bought this Herodia tonight at auction, no idea what movement it has but a quick google around of the brand indicates no shyness in using top flight movements and this particular watch spec is highly unusual and most likely desirable in that its an Automatic Date, Day, and Alarm.
40mm wide excluding crowns so will have a strong wrist presence and the case and bracelet look gorgeous.

2026 began with finding this beautiful Omega Constellation 95 quartz, for only 10 Euros, yes you read it correctly, 10 Euros 馃槈 I guess the seller thought it was a fake, judging by the title of the ad I saw

Good morning all. I picked this up in HK from a very hard to find 166.009 with a dial that has arrowhead markers. I have to change the crown for the right one, but other than that it's perfect.

Is the dial definitely ok? It looks like the minute hashes are inconsistent in size and alignment. Is it just the photo?

Bought this one 30 Dec and it arrived 2nd Jan so it's either my last purchase of 2025 or my first new to me of 2026.
Bought it out of curiosity more than anything else. It's a desirable Roamer Mustang Indianapolis day date which means it's probably a Roamer refinished ETA movement but it could be a Roamer MST523, haven't taken the back off yet to look.
The watch has the wrong case back on it as you might have guessed, saying Roamer RockShell which is a bit odd.
The case back has a retirement inscription on the back and this might be the reason it's got the incorrect case back as the Mustang casebook has no room on it for an inscription. I'd have to track down the previous owner to ever know that but I suspect I would be talking to a gravestone.
