Look at that brushing! And with fitted coffin link bracelet!

 

Bulova Oceanographer 333. This is a great line of watches, the baby brothers to the 666- same movement but more country-club designs. This would be mine if the dial were cleaner- just a bit too much “patina” for me- but still good looking.

Benrus wrist alarm- this is a great looking watch with one of my favorite complications-they buzz- how cool!. Some slight speckling on the sunburst dial, but stainless case dual crows (which always look bad-ass) and red pointer. Seller says all functional and has make offer.

Something tells me that one of the crowns is not original. Mechanical wrist alarms are cool though. This one is worth a low ball offer.

 

Lol! I didn’t see that, I guess I was hasty in posting. Bonus- the crown is worth half what the watch is!

 

Oh, and if anyone gets that wrist alarm and doesn’t want the electric blue suede strap- send it my way.

 

Decent Helbros. Black dials are always nice. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373335726854Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

I love this case shape! I think it’s so modern for its time which was early 50’s. Seller says running but movement is filthy, crystal needs a polish, but dial looks good and case still has its finish. It’s small at 28.5mm across- Ken...where are you Ken??

We can all need more colour in our lives. I’d love a green-dialled Seiko Alpinist

 

This one does look nice but a shame about the size and I really couldn’t live with the mismatched crown

 

This one looks pretty good, if you have no prejudice against gold or gold tone cases. very nice dial with minor scuffs, case shows some wear, Crystal looks okay, apparently recently serviced and running okay .

Cushion cased Lanco from the 70’s with linen dial. Case doesn’t say stainless but considering it has an ETA 2750, I assume it’s stainless. This should clean up beautifully. Seller says untested, but second hand moves in the pics so signs of life.

Really a cool watch. The flat link bracelet is remarkably nice too.

 

Someone please make an offer on this one- I can’t stand looking at it anymore!

 

The style is cool. It is like a dynamic, but better. Very unique. You have showed great self control, but I think you deserve this one. Com'on you know you wanna.

 

I would do it just to help James out of his misery, but the 7" wrist for the bracelet concerns me.
Is there any way to accommodate a larger wrist with this bracelet?

 

If you are thinking 7" is cutting it close, there is a possibility of getting a clasp extender:

 

That is always the rub. Luckily this one takes regular straps to (as opposed to the Dynamics which use proprietary bracelet and straps). I have had some luck with the little bracelet extenders which add about 1/2” of length but are unsightly.
I did buy a JBC bracelet long ago that came with a very long clasp cover- like super long. I have used that in several watches while I hunt down links and it works perfectly and looks perfect. I have seen them on a few bracelets since and you can’t miss them- they are really long

 

Oh- another note on the extenders, they fit some clasps, but not all. Before I realized that my long JBC clasp would do the trick, I tried to fit one of these extenders on my 666 bracelet. I found that the holes in the extender didn’t line up with the last hole in my Bulova clasp- total bummer.

 

I did but the seller wants pretty close to asking price. Fun watch and may be worth it for someone.
