Mondaine
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 👍)

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.

This is pretty-
SS Mondaine with linen dial. Seller says 34.3mm so a very nice size and the dial and lume look excellent- love the second track.

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 👍 the dark spot could be a reflection or maybe the linen reflecting? My bet is he'll eventually take a lower offer.

Yup- they are cool. It looks like there should have been a medallion of some kind in the inset, but I have only found one with some kind of cartouche- they always seem to be blank in the middle like that.
There are a few others on eBay right now- including a couple with black dials which are just awesome.
I own a matched pair. Love them. Highly recommend picking one up.

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.

Is PLN the new Universal currency representing hits of Plutonian Nyborg?

Fear the Turtle (anyone know that reference?
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?

Technos Skylight- love these!! Poor man's C-cased Connie meets pie pan - but actually a little more fun looking. The crown is generic but it looks like the rest is correct including the beveled crystal and mesh bracelet which is a plus.

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.
