Bump

 

Very nice.
This reminds me what my mentor in vintage watches hunting was used to tell me: "You can't buy all the watches in the world, but you can try anyway"
I'm not gonna try, but this bump is on me
GLWS!

 

Well let’s do $250 USD with PayPal and shipping included.

 

Please excuse my intrusion on the sales thread. I am awfully tempted by this watch, but I am trying to be disciplined. I did a quick google on the brand and found a great Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/6ycm47/exacto_found_out_some_cool_history_about_this/

Here is a highlight, that might put someone who is on the fence over the edge:

"From my preliminary research Exacto was the former name for Rado, but the Herman watch company in NY owned the trademark, Exacto, and thus when the brand emerged in the US market it was changed to Rado in the mid 20th century. I then tagged Rado in an instagram post and they responded. They confirmed that Schlup and Co. delivered movements and produced watches under the name of Exacto starting in the early 1950.Rado started the production under this name in 1957. Really cool that they answered me and I have a little piece of horological history! "

 

Thanks for the bump and the information! Watch is now sold.

 

I guess that means I don't have to buy it. Congrats to the you and the buyer! It is a really nice piece for a fair price!

 

Thanks! It didn’t last long after your bump.

 

It has been in the back of my mind since you first posted it. As a no-name brand watch I was on the fence, but it turned out it was a well-known brand with a cool bit of history. Had it not sold so quickly, I would have sent you an offer soon. Either way, I am happy it found a new home. Good times.

 

Talk about looking familiar...
