Not a watch but if anyone is interested in vintage advertising. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164581403508
Not that easy as the seller is in the US and I'm in Europe, and eBay isn't helping at all. Will probably have it fixed locally and try to get the seller pay (part of) the bill, and close that chapter.

This is just the plain ‘ole Waltham, not the BP supplied era. Sellers have been trying to flog that connection for years to jack up the perceived value of very ordinary watches. The same thing happens with Sicura and Breitling- yes, there was an ownership connection- but very different companies.
Although that Waltham is a nice stainless skin diver, it’s worth about $250.
Good to know!!
There was a period in the late 50’s when Waltham was a distributor the BP watches. They look like these
The dial style and Bakelite bezel is usually the give away. Some were branded Blancpain on the back, some not- but they all have this “look”. The later skin diver style with metal bezels and simpler dials have no BP connection.
Thank you. Love it!!

After seeing a member's Sicura today, I was browsing Ebay for that brand and saw this example of a racetrack dial in good shape compared to most in this price range on Ebay. 38mm. I know some might want a full stainless steel case but I liked the dial. Seller had a lot of details about the brand if you're curious. No relation to the seller.
