·Hi everyone,
This is a Rabbit hole I dove in. I discovered a new world that I didn't even know what was at first. Every watch unique - it hyper engaged me! Most of them are Omega 23.7 - two of them are 23.4. I included a screenshot from a similar era Patek sold as movement only to Japan. I couldn't uncover the entire story why Japan bought movements/dials without cases at the time and produced unique art deco watches - could be a movement, could be a demand for watches and import being economical this way. As a stalled C-Case collector, every piece being unique and every piece uniquely extending the collection was something else ... I think Japanese also loved this design as the middle part is a Sun and it has a "Land of the Rising Sun" vibe
They all have steel casebacks - some of them are all steel. Serials date them to 1920's - but there is information online the 23.7 being a 1930's movement. They are 28mm to 30mm - jumbo ones being 30mm. It was an era where being petite was more desired (assumably)
I am selling them as parts, more then half of them should be working. I kept them raw for the most part. I also have spare part dials, all of their original bracelets etc. - going to send all of them with the sale. Heads up - it should take 1 week etc. to even pack
Priced around 175 Euro per watch - I hope it's a steal for such a unique collection.
Selling to mentally offload
Price: 3700 Euro for everything (I declare low and can accept 2 payments to be exact)
Shipping: 80 Euro to EU, 120 Euro to US, 100 Euro to Rest
Payments: Only Wise, Wire or IBAN
