    That’ll find a new home. All these folks (myself included) are scraping the bottom of the omega barrel and getting rough seamasters. This is a real looker for the price (make offer :thumbsup:)

    Before anyone gets too trigger happy- do note the darkness at the bottom of the dial- not sure if that's shadow or water damage- look closely and be aware of it.

    That was the first thing I saw but couldn't tell if it was a reflection on the inside of the crystal, though I feel that was an optimistic approach on my behalf haha.

    Anyways, I made a lower offer on it to which the seller countered at $75 if anyways is interested in it. I have my eye on something else so I won't be accepting the offer.

    I've bought a watch from this seller before. Pretty reasonable as I gave him an offer and we had a good chat by email about the watch :thumbsup: the dark spot could be a reflection or maybe the linen reflecting? My bet is he'll eventually take a lower offer.

    Nice looking Stainless Certina- dial is great, lume is out of 5 but wouldn't be very noticeable as the rest is fairly dark. 32.5mm is not as small as it sounds.

    Looks like Ref. 346.825. Beautiful dial but looks to have a service crown.

    So this could be a diamond in the rough- or just rough.
    SS Hamilton with black dial. I can't tell if the dial itself is deteriorated or if I'm seeing a combination of surface crud and crystal artifacts. Also not sure if lume plots are dark or gone. Lume is out of one hand. This could clean up beautifully in the right hands or just be what it is. Anyone want to take the gamble?

    Well I went for this. Interested to handle it in person. It does look great. Checking...crown seems marked Technos in pics...any reason you think generic? And one for @AustinCambridge ..what is the case ref on these please.

    Funky and chunky-
    Nice looking Tissot, lighting sucks so dial could look ashy or be stunning. Integrated bracelet so either ask what the size is or roll the dice and hope it fits. Date wheel looks like it's either just starting to flip or is misaligned.
