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!

Wrong sub-forum/thread

 

Gruen bumper. Looks good but correct me if I'm wrong. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203176879570Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

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.

 

Help a fellow OF member out this is a great deal in my opinion for a nice eterna. https://omegaforums.net/threads/eterna-matic-1950s-reduced.119414/#post-1644134

 

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

 

Good luck! Let us know if you land it.

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.

 

EDIT: I said something wrong here, disregard.

 

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.
