Nice looking SS drop lugged Eterna-matic bumper- 33mm with a decently patina’d dial. If that dial were perfect, this watch would be mine.
For those that don’t know- Eterna was on par with Omega and Longines during this time- if this were an Omega bumper, it would be thrice the price.

And another wannabe Polerouter- it this one has some fairly nice looking parts. Case is a stainless MLB with twisted lugs, movement looks like an eta- what’s not to like. At 34.5mm it’s about right for a poor man’s Polerouter

Oh shit!!! That thing is amaaaaazing!!! And considering your sense of style- that thing is perfect for you! Was that the bracelet that came with it? It’s perfect for it.

Bracelet came with it. It has a small section that stretches...it's a bit tight getting over my hand, but once it's on the wrist it's stunning! Thanks again for the tip (and write up on 'size') 👍

If you missed the Hammy Fontainebleau the other day, here is another chance at 70’s greatness.
Rado Manhattan on factory NSA bracelet. If watches could sing about architecture- this one does. Don’t know the market on these for pricing, but his pricing doesn’t seem out of bounds on others he is selling.

Considering it looks like you dress Ivy, it doesn’t get more appropriate.

Edited: The blue suede isn't robust enough to survive as a strap. Back to whatever you were doing...

I've been thinking about getting a nice art deco square watch and this one does look beautiful. Accepts offers too. Wondering how low this could be had for...

these “gentlemen’s” watches are surprisingly fun to wear. Just make sure the crystal isn’t chipped

Gone already. Not surprised it didn't last. Seemed in beautiful shape!

You know @Syzygy these are just a gateway drug. Before long you will be turning tricks for a Reverso or doing back alley deals for a Cartier tank.

If this Lord Elgin wears anything like the Hamilton, I do believe it'll see a lot of wrist time. Thanks for leading me to it @Thommas!

Always note the size. Yes, rectangular doesn’t wear the same as round, but your Hamilton was 27mm. If that Elgin is 21-23mm as some were, it may feel rather dainty.

It may feel like a wonderful gift to the wife-unit if so! Either way...ONE FOR THE WIN!😉

Ok all, time to step away from the temptation and check out another chapter of The Queen's Gambit! A highly recommended diversion from emptying your wallet on all these amazing finds!

Thanks all, Cheers, and Happy Hunting!
