Is that an anvil on a dive watch? 馃槈
Shouldn't it be something that doesn't drag your lifeless body to the depths like this:

Picked this off ebay for a cool $32. Never seen one like it........sadly, a 1 jewel EB auto. Didn't take much to get it going. Note the lower crown that would imply rotation of the inner ring. NOT! It's simply there for show, not go 馃檨
Still it is quite large at 41mm and looks sharp.......except for the large "Sears" logo. I wonder if it carries the lifetime Craftsman guarantee.



After an afternoon in the spa. Already nicked up the crystal working in the attic. What do you want for a beater?

Ask anyone who bought something at Sears in Canada about the "lifetime" guarantee...馃槖

Me too, one of the best investments I've ever made.

The bigger, dual-crown version is quite well known, but this little brother is fairly obscure...

That watch was sold under several brands, including Nivada:

Yes, and I have owned several. This is analogous to the case used by Titus for the popular Calyspomatic, which was also used by a variety of manufacturers.

Not sure how obscure these two may be, but they both run extremely well. The Lancia has a screw down crown, whereas the Peugeot does not. I gave them to my sons, and the watches are now getting good wrist time.
