Gruen Veri-thin Precision pocket watch, in box with chain. Seller says running, the quality of the watch warrants an eventual service. If you want to dip your toe into pocket watches- this is a nice one to start with. Reach out to @DaveK for a lanyard if you want to go sporty with leather rather than the dressier waistcoat chain.

Thanks @JwRosenthal The OF member that buys that pocket watch gets a free prototype dress watch lanyard from me (it’s a bit better then the one shown) It’s rustic, but with nice thin leather that’s perfect for these dress watches. Your payment will be feedback and praise for my frail ego

 

If the pocket watch was in Australia I would seriously consider it.

 

OF bargain alert:
Nice looking C-cased Connie from our own @bags1971 . Dial has very light patina but is a lovely vertical lines pattern. Case finishes are good and it comes with a full length bricks bracelet which is 1/3 the value. These have shot up in price over the last couple years- and for good reason, they were highly undervalued (I love mine).

I could have been very tempted by that watch, if it was still in the EU

 

A Tissot with a chewed up crystal. Other problem could be the lug wear from that bracelet. But it is under $100 https://www.ebay.com/itm/133656859483Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

I agree, the lug wear is a shame. Is the crystal cracked at 6:00 or just scratched? Both flaws are forgivable at this price though.

Does anyone know if a jeweler can fix lug wear like that on a plated case?

 

Ahh hadn't seen that crack. Also with closer inspection seems like there is lume loss as well. Pictures aren't the best however.

 

Follow up on Belair. Here are a couple of fun divers of mine from the 1960s spruced up on stingray straps. As a guide these are under $100 if you search hard. I’m trying to build up some history for the company on Chronopedia if anyone can assist. It’s here https://chronopedia.club/Belair_Divers

 

Overall the watch is very nice, but it looks like it had a major owie on the side of the upper left lug that was polished out.

 

This is a great watch. Nice condition, very fair price for solid gold IMO.

 

Super cool, love the Spanish day, month.
