On quick research, it may qualify as an exempt antique, but even that is a little unclear when it comes to selling/purchasing/shipping across state borders within the US. Add to that the wife's views on ivory, it's a hard pass for me.
If you like vanilla, no sprinkles or decadent sauces, just plain ‘ole vanilla- have I got a watch for you!
Very nice Andre Bouchard made by Paul Peugeot (big mass maker the likes of Wakmann or NIvada whereupon other companies can put their names). All stainless with classic shape that is absolutely conventional, lovely dial with applied numerals and just enough sunburst to be interesting but not enough to be exciting, nice lume on the hands and dial that can be seen but not flashy and won’t be noticed by others, A Schild movement which is very good but not exceptional. Size is 33mm which is not big, but not small- truly middle of the road.
This watch a guaranteed to be non-offensive in any way and incredibly polite....still more fun that both of my silver Seamasters.

This seller just listed 4 NOS 70s watches (Waltham & Gruen) at quite reasonable prices. Full sets and mint condition.
Definitely wont last long...

All on the high end of what they should be worth but we never see Everyman watches in this condition- the dial on that first one is awesome!

I really like the first one a lot! But it looks like it’s got a bit of radium burn around the center of the dial.

I am pretty sure those are shadows. I have a nearly identical watch and it is tritium. I think I even see Ts by the Swiss.
Interesting!! I looked through the pics trying to find the T but the crystal looks like it obscured them. Thank you for sharing this with me
I think you can see the T in the photo (but could be the top of an R)
Chrome plated Buler Seaflower. If a 1603, matte dialed sub and Helbros diver had a three way- this would be the love child. Plating is a little rough on the side and back, crown needs replacement- but it’s actually not that bad (very wearable). Dial, hands. and engine turned bezel are awesome and should clean up beautifully- and it has a red date wheel (most likely slow-set, be forewarned). I would be tempted to see if this would transplant into another stainless case...would be a neat project.

Stainless Croton Aquamatic with turtle lugs!! Today is the day of the turtle-(all we need is a Certina DS to round out the turtle theme). This is a nice watch at 33mm- sector dial with outer waffle ring- the speckling on this dial is what kept me from jumping on it, but it’s even and had a nice patina for those who like it. Seller says serviced which I find hard to believe for the price- but whatever, if it keeps time it keeps time.
