    Unfortunately not Gay Freres :D
    I think it was an Orient branded bracelet or something, it went with the watch when I sold it!

    That’s a nice deal. Stainless case, dial and lume look fantastic through that muddled crystal - which should polish out beautifully if crack free. Stiff crown could be gummy gasket in the crown- or dried up oil-turned to tar in the gear train. It would need a service regardless so this may be a very nice watch for little money

    Lovely piece imo for you guys in the US. What a dial! Matching tritium on hands and hour markers. Stainless steel case, polished unfortunately but that is the only con I can see.

    It‘s a neat watch and although polished, the graining on the top is still visible. I would have the brushed surfaces re-brushed (which is not difficult) which would sharpen up the edges.
    I hesitate to “like” these open auction listings on this thread as we try to keep it to BIN listings. Just because it’s a “bargain” now doesn’t mean it will stay that way- often times they don’t.

    Different looking Helbros. Should probably go for way lower. @30t1 I know you like Helbros... https://www.ebay.com/itm/233763251193Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    It’s Sunday- it was a slow week for bargains on eBay- but today is typically the day when the bulk of new stuff get posted.

    To kick off the new week, our Bulova collector friend has a new crop of goodies- starting with this Surf King- I own this watch is black- it is one of the slimmest wearing watches I own and hugs the wrist- truly a masterpiece ( and i paid a bit more for mine).

    That black whale sea king is very nice but listed as only 30mm. This is surprising to me: as a '71 vintage I thought it would be bigger.

    I would reach out to the seller and ask- may have been a typo. I would think that would be around 34mm

    Another Technos. Different era of Technos probably with an ETA. Seller says the crystal isn't staying on. Looks to be running though. And it has the original bracelet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/114487518174Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
