    Do you think it will be still available? ;) if not a scam or he/she realized the mistake he/she did with the price and edited it?

    The Speedy pic I posted wasn’t a watch for sale- I was making a joke about how the seller of the other watch had his listing price as the same price on the hang tag from the 1970’s- so I showed that Speedy (web pic grab) with its original hang tag and MSRP of $185.

    Very pretty Wyler-Vetta, stainless case with twisted lugs, fantastic sector dial, seller says 33mm without crown from the very limited Italian I can read.

    Back to Benrus! Great looking SS Benrus with date at 6. Crystal has some scratches that made it look like they were on the dial but they move in different pics- so I think the dial is pretty darn clean. This one is probably around 33.5mm so should be a nice size.

    And to answer the seller’s question- no, it is not from WWII- it’s early 60’s.

    A true archetype of 50’s style- 10kGF Hamilton- this is a great watch.

    A point of note on these square and rectangular watches- the dimensions can be deceiving. Even though it specs at 27mm, it is not small like a 27mm round watch, in fact quite the opposite.
    This is one of mine- it’s 26mm across (without the lugs flare), but compared to a 34.5mm Seamaster- it doesn’t seem that small.

    For $14 shipped I'm not sure how you can go too wrong here, especially if you happen to like trains too:

    NOS 17 jewel Delta Impex Swiss made watch. Seller has two of them and you get a 10% discount if you buy both :) There was a time whne my boy was obsessed with trains and I would have snapped this up for him. Now he's 6 and likes Minecraft more :(

    Bulova ambassador. Terrible pictures. Crystal looks to be scratched up. Seller says it's from an estate. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254774657369Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Well, plating apart it looked quite good. Went for £146, which is a good price given what these seem to go for nowadays.

    Here it is. Seller gratefully set the time and date before sending it so I received it all ready to go. On a fresh NOS 18mm Tropic for the day!

    Nice looking chrome plated diver. The arrow hands and Seawolf style markers make this one worth having and we all love a lolipop. Lume is great and not dark and ashy. Case is 36mm so it’s on the smaller side of divers but I have several around this size (Bulova 666, Seawolfs, etc) and love them. Asking isn’t bad- but he may take lower
