I would ask for more pictures of the bracelet, clasp end outside. The complete set is cool, but if the plating is all worn through on the bracelet some of the fun goes away.

 

Buy it and put it on a camel (tan) color strap to really make that black dial pop. The black strap is all wrong imo.

 

Tread carefully. When i search sellers items this watch does not appear.
Could be a glitch at my end but this normally indicates something suspicious when I have seen it before

 

10krgp Elgin tank with scalloped case. Dial has some spotting but shows well in the wrist shot. This is on the smaller side at 23mm for a tank style but smaller wrists can pull this off. It’s a bargain considering the seller cleaned and oiled it and shows a pic of it apart- so I tend to believe him.

Stunning stainless Wittnauer with turtle lugged case, sector dial, beaded second track and cross-hair!- this dial has it all! The dial has a bit of wabi-sabi but even I find it attractive! At 34mm it’s a good size but that bezel is thick so it will wear on the smaller size (like a 32). Seeing it’s running fine and all stainless- I think it’s fab.

Comes up for me, maybe it is your location.

 

I have had that Wittnauer in my list for a while James, it has been re-listed a couple of times due to no bidders.
The dial condition is ok but i don't like the case for some reason and that is what has stopped me making an offer/ bidding.
Hopefully someone here nabs it & i get to see if i am still at the " fear & loathing " stage or can begin to trust my own judgement more.

 

One of my faves too...love the Hollies. He Aint Heavy,,, another classic track.

 

Same here! Had it in and out of my cart. I am just holding out on a cleaner example but there is no denying she is a beauty albeit some flaws

 

I love the case- that’s what attracted me...turtle lugs....mmmm

 

Very similar, perhaps same model. Could use a service and clean up, and new crystal.

It does have some dial patina issues. If that is a turn off for you, move on. Just be patient for the right watch. To me thee difference between $75 and $125 is insignificant if you are going to keep it for a long time.

I would also think about how this watch would look on a different strap. The one it is on is all wrong. Get a strap that matches the character of the watch, anything but that faux leather perforated nylon inlaid piece of trash it has on it now.

 

And a slender and sleek strap makes the watch head appear more prominent and accentuates the lugs....provided you like the lugs.....did already I say I love turtle lugs

 

My wife wouldn't go for this, but this beauty is being sold for pretty close to the scrap value. Somebody, please save it from the melting pot. It is so cool.

The detail on the case is fantastic and still fairly sharp!

 

I’ve purchased from these guys several times- they are good people. I had an issue with a 40’s chrono I bought from them and they made good on it. I have them in my saved sellers- they have great stuff.

 

Somebody ask for funky lugs (10hrs left).

Indeed, they have lots of cool military watches. They are clear that the ladies watch is a non-runner.

 

Of bargain update-
Le Coultre wrist alarm has been dropped to $400- this is a chance to get one of the big-boys for Hamilton money

Great looking bargain diver. Dial and hands look amazing.
Chrome case is a bit tired, but the seller accepts offers.
