For the love of God, someone buy this now!!! I may not be able to resist!

Seriously, very sharp stainless rounded cushion case at 35mm which is huge for the time- dated 1967. Sunburst center with sateen outer sector dial- simply stunning! Some slight speckles and spots on the dial- most noticeable at 10, but who knows- it may clean up and frankly- who cares, just look at it!! And that lume!!! Ok, I need to stop.
Adding all pics as this one needs to be seen- and it’s make offer so a deal may be had here.

Looks like someone already snagged the first Benrus.

 

Thanks for the effort you put into sharing these JwR - very decent of you, i don’t do facebook so I’m not in the habit of liking things but I do like what you are doing here.
Kind regards
Shaun

@Nepomuceño - links?

just saw- at the top- you’re good

 

Last one for the day. An Aerojet that could be someones project. Movement looks clean but the dial has seen better days.https://www.ebay.com/itm/274438798186Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Not necessarily a “bargain”, but a lovely example in great shape:
1940’s Bulova bottlecap, salmon dial, 10ak movement (same as used in the A11 hacking pilot watch). 14kgf case what appears to be in great shape. 30.5mm is for the small wristed- this is a vintage statement piece, it won’t go unnoticed.

edit- just saw it says “restored dial”...well, take that for what it is...

I want to add another voice to say thanks, I really enjoy this thread and have come close a couple of times to an impulse purchase. I’m not sure I can contribute as a young family prevents me from hours trawling eBay like I did ten years ago and I usually hunt for specific references now time is a premium. That said there’s always a few things on my watch list which I should start posting.

 

Another Bulova from a responsive and reputable seller...https://www.ebay.com/itm/224068268481Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

And another:
Black dialed 1969 Bulova, stainless case looks sharp and not polished to a blob. Photos are crap but dial looks great with bright yellow lume pips. And everyone loves the whale dials.
Last gasp from a once great company before the quartz crisis turned them into a shell of their former glory.

Different looking Benrus.https://www.ebay.com/itm/293672276067Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

This one could be a candidate: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Junghans-Automatic-22-Jewels-Waterproof-Wristwatch/164311613391Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network: Vintage Junghans Automatic 22 Jewels Waterproof Wristwatch. Good signs:
* Crappy photos
* Non-professional seller, but still some feedback (308)
* "Not sure if it needs cleaning, if you shake it some, the second hand runs for a few seconds"
I'd ask for a photo of the crown and caseback and then offer $47, maybe less.

 

Offer of $45 accepted! Shame about the import charges, but still a bargain! Thank you!

 

Congrats! Did you figure out if it's steel or plated first, or did you roll the dice? I was unsure from the photos.

 

Rolled the dice!

 

An Elgin with very decent pictures.https://www.ebay.com/itm/184382106892Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

A little pitting on the hands, indices may clean up with a gentle touch (I had a Rolex OPD that looked like this and it cleaned up). Case is really sharp and all stainless, nice lume pips- a solid watch for $60 indeed.

 

Classic Paul Portinoux, lovely pearl dial with a few tiny spots, 35mm stainless case, twisted lugs, AS 1700 movement- this is a classic design by a decent house that often flies under the radar.
Note- I cant tell if the dark spot on the dial under 11 is a shadow or an actual dark spot on the dial- I would want another pic at an angle to see.
