    Serviced Soviet Era Vostok manual wind. I have bought a Luch dress watch from this seller before. I do believe it when he says that it has been serviced, remember labor in the Ukraine is cheaper than elsewhere. I thought hard about picking this up, but have decided to pass on the tip. Of course, I have no connection to the seller other than being a customer in the past. Screenshot_20210314-122952_eBay.jpg

    Hey @Pianotuna I reached out to the seller and arranged to buy it for the final auction price...

    If you still want it and you’re happy to cover shipping to Oz, it’s all yours. Ping me a message.

    should be arriving with me later this week.

    Simon

    Gold plated Benrus tank is great condition. 25.5mm which isn’t small for this style watch. Seller says running fine, not bad at asking, but has make offer.

    For the pocket watch lovers- Hamilton 992 Railroad watch. Seller can’t move the hands because it’s lever set (she doesn’t know that). Says it’s not running- should be serviced anyway- we have a few members here who knows these watches well.

    Seiko Sportmatic in Japan. Although the price is higher than some of the deals we have seen- this is still a great price for such a pretty watch. Has date magnifier and I love the lume pips on the rehaut. Has make offer.

    Fixer-upper cushion cased Wyler. Cosmetically it’s pretty outstanding. Seller says not running properly- so obviously needs a service. Has make offer

    @simomega that’s a very generous and thoughtful offer. You are most kind but I think you deserve both the plaudits from our fellow contributors here and the watch itself. I didn’t expect my bid to be a winner to be frank and I’m pleased that the seller was of ethical disposition and agreed to the sale though he must have been disappointed with the result. Wear it in good faith and I hope it is as good as it appeared to be. A photograph of said item upon arrival would seem obligatory if posters don’t object.

    Thank you very much and for reaffirming my faith in my fellow man.

    Mike

    That’s actually a really pretty watch, and it hasn’t been polished up. Smallish at 32 but if you have small wrists- bully for you.

    32 is great for me but then again I fit the demographic of small and skinny wrists :whistling:

    Accutron railroad watch in stainless (I own this exact model). This is a nice clean example. Seller doesn’t say if it’s working or not, second hand doesn’t move in pic. It’s possible that he didn’t have the correct battery (special for these). Regardless, they all need a service, and require a specialist. Has make offer.

    Here's one I didn't post here and decided to grab before anyone else did. I believe posting a pic for posterity is order as it did qualify for the good value thread ($155 offer accepted minutes after it was listed for $200).

    Gold plated square Longines with a nice little 23z movement on a lovely vintage lizard strap. Sized very nicely at 26.5mm. I've had a lot of pleasure wearing it since it arrived last week!

    Highly recommend this seller for the great items he has listed and the ease of dealing with him. No affiliation of course aside from being a satisfied customer.

    It must be a matter of perspective mate. I’d have nominated Simon’s post!
    I’m sure there’s a plethora (refer: ‘plethora’ The Three Amigos) of eloquence on the board but the focus here is on finding good value for others, which in itself says much about the kind of people here.

    However I believe it violates this thread’s rules unless the watch is now offered to us for the same price (hint hint).
