Hi OF!
I'd like to share some pictures I took from some visits I did in Italy (where I live) and from Istanbul where I've been for a journey.
I always take photo of wathches for sale I see in the local markets but sometimes just looking at the pictures later I see what I didn't see with my eyes.
I'm sharing some photo I took last 25 of April in Italy (close to Turin and ) some pictures taken in Istambul from a local market and in the bazar.
Please lemme know if you see something interesting!!
..at the end in Istanbul I bought 4 watches for few euto I proud of!!

From Istanbul:



At the end after some discussion I bought these two below (next picture the 2 i my hand) and in the photo below from left to right the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th.



From last sunday here some pictures took ina small town close to Turin (countryside)


Please let me know if there is something interesting!!
Thank you all in advance
Elio

Well I'm seeing lots of interesting stuff in the Instanbul pictures. Angelus chrono-dato, Leonidas, Minerva and Breitling chronos, Omega Cosmic TDMP, etc, etc.

I guess it all depends on individual prices, or the negotiability factor of haggling with a Turkish trader. I can only imagine it is like in Egypt where whatever the price of the article being sold divide the asking by 5 and start there with the haggling!

Plenty of nice watches. The Eberhard with the third subdial (hour counter) is uncommon IIRC.

I'm a sucker for anything with Minerva on the dial as well as triple-calendars. The Minerva seems to be in decent shape. The Cosmic and the UG jumped out at me too. Also digging the Gruen.

I'm a sucker for moonphases. And I've never even had one in my collection.
One of the biggest failures in my collection years. But someday...

Sadly the UG has multiple issues … even with the blurry pic.
