    I watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica as a kid. Many of these 70s watches watches remind me of the cylons. This one is like the Gold Cylon.

    Cheap diver alert.
    Chrome plated case looks pretty good, dial and hands look great. Seller says “runs when shaken”- a bit vague but signs of life is a good thing. Looks like it has paint splatter on it and needs a scrub. Comes with an Expandro which isn’t a good match to this watch stylistically but are awesome bracelets- the only stretchy ones I like.
    Price isn’t bad for a 17j Swiss chrome plated diver- but has make offer so may go for cheaper. E3DF3B7E-773A-40FB-BF85-BD0DE5339226.png

    Nice looking Arnex railroad “style” dialed watch. Not sure if Arnex supplied any railroads, nor does it say RR on the dial (as most official rail watches do), but it’s got all the visual markers of a rail watch. Seller doesn’t mention size but unless the arm in the pic is massive, I would think this is on the smaller size (31-33mm)- just a guess though. Also doesn’t say if it’s stainless or plated- looks stainless to me.
    Nice looking watch for little money- and has make offer

    Beastie of a Stainless Wyler at 43mm (so says the seller- may be 41w/crown but still big) this is a biggun. Looks to be in nice honest shape, has what appears to be the full length bracelet with signed clasp (if you don’t want that clasp- just let me know). And price is nice.

    "Stunning" is what Captain Kirk does with his phaser. "Beefy" describes the prime rib I'll be eating for Christmas. Just saying...

    This has been on my watchlist for awhile now...just can't seem to get past what looks like a harsh encounter with a brick wall on the top of the case.

    That’ll buff right out! ;)
    If it were flawless, it still wouldn’t be there. But you could actually try to buff that out if you want. I know it’s heresy to say around here, but with a delicate touch, it could minimize it to a great extent

    Did these ever come in rose gold? I’m asking for a friend.

    "Jungle Master"?
    Anybody know why Benrus would name a watch Jungle Master?
