I just want to extend a thanks to this thread and the people sharing their finds here. Snagged a good value deal through this thread. Appreciated.

I agree, I usually lurk around the vintage omega forum and have noted this thread 2 days ago, with so many daily updates, can’t wait to see something special and moderately priced to snag

Ok, this is not our normal “deal”, but this needs to be shared- I have been watching it for weeks and just can’t justify it in my collection.
14k Elgin that is just- fu#%ing awesome in every possible way. Condition is amazing- just wow.

SS Benrus with awesome 2-tone dial (wannabe Polerouter). Crown needs replacement but that appears to be the only thing amiss.

Well I pitched an offer and was accepted so joining my collection next week. Thanks for the heads-up. Might even have a crown for it.

Someone here needs to buy this thing, if for no other reason I can pick it up from them when I’m more solvent.😉
Seriously, I’ve never seen one like this- I know Elgin made some top shelf watches in their day- and this speaks to that.

Absolutely wonderful, bonus points to the seller for finding reference pictures from a catalog. In great condition. Unfortunately seller doesn't ship international so it's up to CONUS members. Hopefully this finds a good home.

Show us when you get it cleaned up and on the wrist! Always fun to see the spoils of bargain hunting.

Not quite yet cleaned or serviced but first impressions are excellent.

Seller can’t take a sharp picture to save his life, but it looks quite clean.
SS Benrus date at 6- lovely 3/9 numerals and nice looking dial. Pull that stretchy off, slap an nice piece of leather on there and polish up that crystal.
