Just a big THANK YOU to the site Omegaforums.net and this thread for all the help, advice and learning.
Here are two of my latest buys. Buler Seaflower broad arrow (p.136 JwRosenthal) and the gold Bulova (p.139 Nepomuceno)
Thank you - I'm very pleased with them!

The seaflow does look good. Congratz.

Great looking gold filled Longines Admiral automatic. Condition looks fantastic.

Actually taking back my comment about condition. Back of the top right lug seems pretty bruised. The dial is still quite pretty.

This Polerouter seems legit to me although I am by no means an expert, it is not too crazily priced and that patina, oh my. Do note the aftermarket crown!

Here's a fun all stainless Elgin on a cool bracelet and the seller accepts offers.

The black dial could be nice, or possibly painted over. It looks like the logo and day window were painted black. My Ebay rule is to ignore ads like these with only out of focus pictures unless it's something I'm willing to eat the loss on. I found another example for comparison with some dimensions as well. The one you posted should be 34mm case and 36mm lug to lug if anyone is looking.
Maybe gold is more your style.

Actually, I think that patina is the selling point at least for me. It's solid but in terms of Polerouter, nothing extraordinary just a 20360-1 with a nice clean cal. 215 (and note it is clean). If it weren't for white dandruff I['d consider making an offer because I am nothing if not a sucker for that spider crazing. I've seen it in a few Polerouters and it is very handsome IRL. I might ask the seller if they'd take 1175-1200 Euro. bur I have my Polerouters (2) and that it for now. I wonder if Adam Hambly will chime in. Cheers!

white dandruff
That gave me a chuckle. But yes, it seems almost moldy, as does the reflecting ring surrounding the dial. There are black spots all over it.

Cheers and happy hunting 😁

Just ordered one of these thought some here might have a use for one or more.
NOS 17.33 mm width scissors expansion bands with curved ends. 5 7/8 length
https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Old-Stock-Vintage-NOS-1950s-Stainless-Steel-Expansion-17-33mm-Watch-Band/382348712061?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Looks similar to the Admiral that came on my Elgin.
They must have scored a lot of these because they have sold quite a few already. less than $7 USD with free shipping.
