    Dammit!!! Cards on the table because that's the way I play- i will be bidding on this- it's one I don't have in my Wyler collection. I hate the idea of getting into a bidding war with one of my brothers/sisters here.

    No competition from me and I’m sorry if I’ve ruined your bidding plans :(, but it does look like a nice dial and case and reminded me of my DS collection (if two watches can be a collection).
    Again fulsome apologies and good luck with it.

    Endura perpetual calendar. Missing the all important bezel so maybe could get it even lower. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333762791508Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    No need for apologies- it's an open market and we all see the same stuff. Sometimes they go under the radar, sometimes they don't. I'm sure we all (myself included) drive up another members bids unknowingly- it's just part of the game. I'm just trying to avoid this if possible.

    Looks awesome, I thought I might try and grab it at the end but given how many great watches you have posted here I won't bid on it. I hope you get it!

    Thanks @Redwes25 - it won't go cheap, I know that- it's all a matter of if someone wants it more than I do.

    When I saw that one shared on here I quickly added it to my watched folder because it’s gorgeous! But, won’t proceed with bidding. Best of luck to you and hopefully we will see a wrist shot. Have you seen this one btw? The dealer is regularly expensive for even highly abused items... but this dial texture

    I shit on these 1-jeweled things, I know- but this one is really clean looking and considering what they have been fetching recently....make an offer.
    But (couldn't help but plopping a little turd) remember that not all watchmakers are willing to service these as they weren't meant to be serviced

    Arrived...in 4 days from Tokyo. Amazing. Unpolished. Flawless dial. Perfect crystal. I am seriously impressed. Will be looking for a black dial version now. Lovely bracelet. On the wrist. Wow! And I’m in for $215. As good or better than a Ccase Connie imho. 528FD38E-0E0E-41CF-A6C7-23D0E01B4917.jpeg

    Red wine and EBay. Oh dear.

    I’ll stand back. All yours on the Wyler. My head turned by Technos now!

    I know just enough about these to be dangerous and not enough to be educated.

    14k Longines, looks to be all correct to me. Seller says just serviced. I assume the asking is worth the gold weight alone. If you know these- jump fast- it won't last long.

    edit- and there isn't a pic of the dial that's not blurry so I can't make out if the "Longines" is corrext or not. May be a redial, but can't tell.

    Another time I would go for this one more aggressively, but I am about to undertake a hi-fi project that will use up my fun money. I think this one is headed past what I want to put down at the moment.

    I'd like to find out the exact movement used in these watches, by dates of the Technos brand changing hands.
    If any were manufactured in Japan, and it appears there were, a commonly available Japanese movement might have been used.
    I'd like to be able to bring one back from the dead by simply switching out the movement for a modern recently manufactured equivalent.
    If I ran across one with very good or better exterior but abused innards at a low price of course.

    I found two very different images identified as Technos Skylight movements. 20120122_6258fb.jpg
