Hi all
A few weeks back I saw some Elgin jump hour watches that someone here posted, and ever since I've been keeping an eye on the Elgins and Benrus. Can I ask for views on this

Benrus is like a moped - a lot of fun until somebody sees you with it. 😜

Seriously, they're a great way to collect complications on the cheap. That particular watch has something wrong that I can't put my finger on - might be the crown, might be an early redial, something. There are a variety of dial styles for these, but make sure you look for the same layout as this with the running seconds in the triangle. Nobody wants the ones with only hour and minute as much as the running seconds versions.

I haven't seen this dial style before, so I haven't been able to compare it to anything, re redial, etc.
