Just got an unsolicited offer for $5 off the Benrus- that should cover the cost of a GS crystal. I know some of you wanted one of these.

 

The Benrus re-issue is no longer available...


(smiley face here)

 

YAAAAYY!! I knew you have wanted one of these for a while.

 

I saw this one pop up and thought it was very attractive. Have no clue on pricing these so didn’t know it was a good price or not

 

Thanks for tip.

I was thiiiiiiiisss close to buying on of the new Hamiltons. Glad I held off. Now I've got a little more in the budget for a vintage diver.

Saw another Zodiac Glorious a few pages back, and I stumbled on this bullseye dial today. I've seen better ones, but I thought it was a decent dial closeup for a change. Although as I'm posting this, I'm wondering if that's a reflection or spot by the 7 marker.

More like a shadow.
There are light sources on either side of the watch. You can see smaller but similar shaped and tinted shadows next to each marker except those in the center.
Since some level of lighting is striking from all sides the shadow is more of a penumbra.
Some of the shadow may be from the thumb.

 

Not a reflection- the painted white outer sector is flaking off. I saw this when it came up and almost bought it until it saw that- pitty. But if you like a little patina...

 

I wish if were, but it’s flaking paint

 

@JwRosenthal your post made me think of all those CSI episodes where they enhance low quality, high grain, high pixelation parking structure security video and make it IMAX quality out of no where.

 

As long as it's not WD-40!

 

70s Hamilton. Take a look at that brushing! https://www.ebay.com/itm/274676969377Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Love that brushing

Does anyone know how listings like this work? It is listed with "free shipping" but in the description it says shipping to the US is $25. I added it to my cart just to check and it still says free shipping. How does this seller plan to collect the additional shipping charge?

 

And BOOM!! The ads are gone...this place is spectacular!
