OK. I’ll play. All these recently added to the collection. Certina today in the post. And all below the stated threshold.
The Leobe is wierd. Check the bezel! There is another thread on the forum on why it might be like that.

 

Nice haul! Dibs on the Seapearl.
That Wyler is lovely- you should put a shout of for a replacement bezel for that- I’m sure someone here has a beater with a bezel.

 

Would love to find a bezel for the Heavy Duty if anyone has one - PM me please.
SeaPearl is a super example but the Certina has got to me - blued hands, big face, running like a champ. Signed crown and unpolished case. Result indeed.

 

Paging @redpcar - got any HD bezels in your stash of parts?
That Certina is great, love the font for the numerals- it’s gonna clean up beautifully I bet and be the prize of the lot. That Seapearl sucks, just send it to me and I’ll dispose of it for you.

 

Wyler Heavy Duty / Lifeguard and the Zodiac GMT are both odd sizes. I have never successfully found a bezel to fit. The only success I've had is with a donor watch.

I'm even in the market for a Heavy Duty bezel. It's on my list.

 

And the best part is, 24 hours in, it has kept perfect time. I finally got my money's worth. LOL

Does the Zodiac Aerospace GMT bezel fit the Wyler? That would be very useful to know! Any image of what I’m actually looking for on the Wyler would be very helpful. I’d assumed it was just a plain chromed steel one. Like this one.

 

Yea you can have the Seapearl as your taste is up your bippy. The clear winner is the big faced Certina. Those spectacular art-deco numerals are the bee's knees.

 

Oh Fred, good to have you back

 

See? Be careful what you wish for!

 

Dibs on that Wyler!

 

The kind comments here prompted me to spend 10 mins with some Polywatch and a nato - the old girl looks rather fetching...indoor shot as it’s raining stair rods and I’m quarantined. Outdoor shot would show the blued hands to better effect. V happy with my bargain buy!!

and agreed Fred. Check out those numbers!!!

 

So, strictly the price I paid was over £50. But, it arrived with the movement broken and after a refund from the gentlemanly seller to cover the repair, this came in below!

 

It won’t let me hit the like button more than once!

 

Found this in a charity shop for for £5 new Battery and off it went part mechanical and part electronic

 

You’ll have to like this post then!!!
What a fantastic piece. 36-37mm. Can’t wait time get it back. I’m having the case restored too.

 

$30 new old stock Timex

 

What I really love about that is that it suggests there was a time when there was something worth buying from the duty free trolley!

 

Wearing this Croton “Acurator” today. It was one of seven watches included in an auction lot I purchased for under $50. The watch is as I bought it, save I swapped out the metal flex bracelet it came with for the leather strap shown in the photos.

 

Love the blued hands- and a user friendly adjustment!!! That’s awesome!
