Same seller as above, totally different watch.
This is not my norm, but this is just so 70’s and I do love archetypes.
70’s root-beer fade Wittnauer with gold bezel...I am just speechless.
Integrated stainless bracelet but seller says it’s 8+ inches so plenty of length and links can be removed.
If you are looking for a quintessential example of style from each decade- you would be hard pressed to do better than this for the 70’s....other than a two-tone rootbeer GMT...and this ain’t that!

Gruen bumper. Looks good but correct me if I'm wrong. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203176879570
Yup- that’s a good one. Dial is better than 90% of the ones we see and love the red second hand. Not running so expect a service- the 460SS movement was used in several models so parts watches are easy to get if needed.

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

Line cast. We'll see if he bites...

Everything about this watch is waaaay over the top- where do we begin??? 1959 Bulova, scalloped GP case, scrolled lugs, sector dial with incredibly stunning pinkish/orange creamsicle radium lume (my favorite vintage radium lume color usually seen on pre-war watches).

Case shows minor plate wear and some slight speckles on the dial- but man, is this pretty! The price is very ambitious, but this is a stunner- he may take a lower offer.

If you have a handlebar moustache to match those lugs, that that Bulova is for you 👍

Those hands look like Accutron Astronaut hands, but gold. That watch is very uniquely cool.

Swing and a miss!

Low ball offer. Would have been surprised if he bit. I'm stepping back.

I think @JwRosenthal was mistaken, it has an all-stainless case. Only the bezel is base metal. If it were no-date I would be on it like stink on a monkey. The movement is a big of a mystery, but if it has a half way decent movement . . .

Nevermind, just double checked. @JwRosenthal was right. Chrome plated.

If it were all stainless for $150 I wouldn’t be sharing it here, it would be in the WRUW thread 😉

Yes, I thought you let one slip, but the master Hunter never fails. 😉

Sorry @arturo7...I snagged that one! I didn't lowball too much at 120, figuring if asking price seemed fair, I'd have a better chance if I only shaved a little off asking.

Thanks for the tip @JwRosenthal!

That’s a nice value. Not a steal, but those are getting very hard to find.

....and frankly I thought it was a good value at asking- good to get a few bucks off

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then- I get lucky sometimes.
There have been a few here I have agonized over- then I just post it and walk away and hope one of you all spare me the burden of rescuing it. On more than one occasion I have read what someone offered and had accepted- then I kick myself. But I always remember, I had my chance and decided to pass it along...that’s what we do- share with friends and rejoice in their success.

Hamilton Fontainebleau B, this is a cool ass watch! This is part of the FB line and looks totally correct- all brushing looks intact, lines are razor sharp, faceted crystal and space age H crown intact- and gotta love that case back. This is high mid-century style at its best.
