    I like checking in here every day, and seeing the variety of watches that yourself and other members post. It can be quite the education at times.

    +1 on that sentiment

    Thanks ::popcorn::

    Crown is wrong on this one but could probably get an offer in well below the BIN. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383924786495Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I’ve noticed a few of these cosmic 2000s with short hands, not sure if they’re a poor replacement or original, but they look all wrong to me. Anyway, this one needs some work and has seen a fair amount of life, especially as it’s been in a drawer for more than half of it, but isn’t £300 a decent price for one of these? I’d have thought so. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...220134?hash=item3b56327e26:g:J-MAAOSwFh5gFB7qPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Well, I thought I’d have a look and it’s already sold. I know it needed a repair but that was quick

Here’s another. Wearing it today. Baylor. If you hunt hard you could pick one up under $100. AS movement 1951. All Swiss. Chromed case. Screw back. Signed crown. Rotating bezel. Great dial and hand setup. Semi quick set date. Cheap and fun. Here’s mine. Clean and deep polish of crystal only required - with nos 1970s strap added it looks great.

    Baylor were a Texas jewelry chain. They had some good stuff inc branded Heuers. Here’s one. Too expensive at buy now but open to offers. I don’t know the seller.

    This one has nothing to do with a good value (it may be just for the oh-my value) but I had to share this with someone.

    hello everyone.....

    I like the Antarctic Nivada Grenchen watch ... this appears to me to be one. I would ask for measurements as this might be a 33 mm w 16 mm lugs.. i cant tell as no strap is present... I cant judge scale... Just to be clear have no relationship with the seller. Here is an affiliate link:

    Anybody got an extra bezel? If so, PM me so I can buy this thing! Otherwise, rock the Brando look and keep your eyes open for a bezel- and good luck with that.

    Sorry - ignore prior post. Thought this was 2998 at first. Looked to quick.

    As an FYI, I like some of these higher priced options. The last 2998 you posted here was a really good deal.
