    Truthfully, it’s a bit bright in direct sunlight.

    You should see what we get quoted to have watches sent down here. Zero consistency. Everywhere from US$25-100. And best we don’t talk about US Priority mail .

    tidy watch though

    Thanks JwRosenthal, I just won this one with an offer.
    I look forward to receiving it. Our postal system here is a shambles at the moment so goodness knows how long it will take to go the 100 or so miles it has to travel.
    I will let you know when it arrives.
    Cheers
    Les

    Nice pickup its a very funky and interesting dial design that I’m sure will look good on the wrist.

    Reveal time for me.

    A couple pages back James " The Enabler " Rosenthal posted a watch for sale on the forum and i decided to take the plunge.
    I was initially unsure about it given its size, fortunately other members posted their examples in the thread which changed my opinion.

    The seller @Paedipod was an absolute gent to deal with & it took only 5 days to get to the UK from Canada.

    I can now say i have officially joined the Omega club :thumbsup:

    Not sure what has happened with the first 2 pictures, the dial is a lovely creamy tone more like picture 3.

    Technos Skybird. Stainless C-shaped case, faceted crystal, love the day/date at 6. Factory brushing looks to be there, dial looks good although pics are in shadow. Factory sticker on the back- is there a medallion underneath- that’s the mystery!

    Mid-1950s 10k gold-filled Tissot automatic in great shape at a reasonable BIN of $225 - first to make an offer of $200 likely gets it.

    Stepped bezel, applied logo, clean dial, in-house full-rotor automatic, signed crown (though likely not original), and hints of a mid-mod Polerouter in the design!

    Sinn 103B acrylic- I own this exact watch (although mine had English date wheel as opposed to German- as they should have). Full kit, shows wear but nicely even on the bezel. I haven’t seen a sub $1.5k 103 in a while, let alone full kit on bracelet- this is a nice value considering they sell for well over $2k now. Don’t know the seller but seems to have tons of feedback.

    Yup! One of my favorite watches- very similar. I also have my waffle Seamaster which is why I keep telling myself I don’t need that one....keep saying it, I don’t need that one, I don’t need that one....:(

    edit- thank god it’s gone!

    Classic gold filled Longines with a little (but pleasant) patina.

    I love when cool ladies watches pop up as I am always looking for gift ideas for my lady and luckily I infected her with the watch bug.
    This is a very pretty Omega Sapphette (sp?) in gold filled case with integrated mesh bracelet. This was one of the first vintage Omegas I bought my lady (in white gold) and she adores it. It is tiny- and I mean tiny- you can barely read the time without squinting. But it’s about the bracelet and sleek elegance with this- you don’t really need to read time when they dim the house lights at intermission anyway.

    Seller is well known here, price is fair but has make offer- this would make a great gift for a lady (wife, girlfriend, daughter) or for yourself if you are a lady or non-risk adverse fashionable man.

    Hummer time!
    Accutron 218 up/down date in stainless case with tuning fork second hand. Seller says recently serviced (mmhmm- that’s what they all say), but keeping time is a good sign. Dial isn’t perfect but nice looking. This is a fun piece of 60’s American ingenuity.
