Not sure if $400 is a good value, but has make offer! Might be able to work a better deal on this interesting Wyler.

This one has been in my watch list for a while- have purchased from them before and they are good people (and they do accept reasonable offers). I own a few similar to this which is why I have hesitated.

I figured this one might catch your attention! I'm tempted, but have been on a bit of a splurge lately...might need to consider releasing a few to justify refining my collection a bit.

The Trisports are nice watches- I have 3. This one is similar to an Hd I have which has gilt dial and hands but stainless bezel and case. I’m normally not one for two-tone, but they are fun on these. I have one of my Tri-sports on an original JBC horn-lugged mesh (the nasa one) and it looks killer.

Mine is surprisingly easy. Pull crown out half way, clockwise rotation sets the day (mine has both Japanese and English), counterclockwise sets the date, full pull to set time.

Now that is clever. I'd been avoiding watches with dates because I hate winding them 'round and 'round when in rotation. This feature would be very handy. Is this across the board with Seiko date models, or just some movements?

Hi Everyone...

This one is a cracker... I almost dont want to post this and bid on it myself... but a promise is a promise...

a real roulette Date wheel so to speak !

Dead Link/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0...MAAOSwgjFf4AuS&campid=5338755308&toolid=20008


I always like the Mido multiforts .... most if not all the cases are from FB Francois Borgel... signature mushroom crown... waterproof case construction...

Seller says 34mm, most likely 33.5 (I have one with this case and it’s 33.5) but with the 16mm lugs looks sizable on the wrist. It’s large for a mido.

It varies with movements, check out the link I posted on previous page.

OF bargain alert- this one from @Darlinboy
All I can say is OH SHIT!!

Black dialed (J)LC Memovox...yes, black dialed with bright yellow lume pips...stunning. They don’t get better than this and at the price, I think it’s a bargain.
Hey @Bill Sohne - this may be worth breaking the fast for.

Note: the watch was serviced by Zaf Basha who is known to be an expert on these watches- his rate of service is about half the asking price.

Very tastefully mounted. I like it. What is the power reserve like on yours? That is how often do you have to wind it?

For a minute I thought I spotted an Accutron spaceview in this fashion watch lot.
