Not a late night buy but early morning about 4:30am.
Saw this eBay sale listing with a $650 BIN price. Obviously the seller didn’t know what he had.
Sellers photo not a Speedmaster Reduced.
Fingers crossed until it arrived.
Turned out to be a beautiful -78!! Sent off for a service and now it’s my favorite daily wearer.
nobody said it has to be a watch ...
Okay, then I can throw in this. Caspar Netscher (attributed). I still need to find a proper place for it.It would need a good clean, but I will probably leave it like it is for the time being.
I call dibs on that! love it,
Be interesting to see what a clean will reveal in the background.
I bought this on a late night impulse at auction.
Looks to be late 1800 but cant find the artists Bio any where.
Two nights ago this one (not having fulfilled the condition no. 5, above) 😁 . I should quit looking at eBay, I could not resist (once again). The Universal microrotor is second to none, compared with contemporary calibres and nicely decorated additionally. And just look at this microregulator.
This will be either really good or really bad. 😀
Why this (the second alternative)?
What kind of bracelet was on it? The center links look odd.
This will be either really good or really bad. 😀 Just short of $900 shipped from Argentina to USA.
i found this on O.J. Clark who looks to be your artist:
Clark was an English Landscape painter during the 19th century and specialised in woodland and rural scenes. He travelled throughout England and Scotland earning a living by painting commissions
Thanks for that, had all but given up finding out anything about it. The artists signature much like doctors hand writing was leading me astray as to the name.
Had little luck when I approached Bonham's and Christie's as to info or value but now I can research anew

No problem! I like internet rabbit hunts. Focused on O.J, since those were the only letters I could make out with confidence. I think I saw a couple of couple sales in the 6-8k range. Good luck!
Really, this box is awesome and I love the projects and straps added in for good measure. Totally unexpected.
You like projects? Send me a message and I will hook you up with some good stuff, not that flea market crap JDubya screwed you with 😁
