    Benrus D-day watch for $125, who hasn’t gotten of on these yet? The USAF Bracelet is a bonus- stretchy part can be swapped out with another Bracelet or leather. If you aren’t USAF, I’m sure we have a few vets here who you can gift it to.

    Early 60’s stainless Elgin. 33mmx41 so fairly long lugged. The sunburst dial on this is sensational. A few flecks of crud on it but may be topical and easily cleaned off. Radium lume is bright and fluffy. This is a very pretty watch.

    Stainless 1970 Bulova with stunning silver dial and dished minute track rehaut. Case is a generous 36mm with a tucked crown. A few ham-fisted opening attempts on the back, but otherwise this thing is a slick stunner! Seller says recently serviced (and they are a volume seller so it’s possible it got a CLA). I know this seller for their Italian made straps and this comes with a beauty. Has make offer.

    If they came as cuff links, that’d be cool

    My father actually had a set of cufflinks made from watchworks! My sister cleaned out his house when he died and kept most everything, I should see if she has them.

    Got another Bulova Gem from the early 50’s with the curved lugs and starburst dial. Crystal needs a polish and lighting sucks, but probably a bright fresh dial under there. They are small at around 31 1B2658C8-A3F4-4E5F-9631-A8F2505F80B3.png -32mm so be prepared. We have a few bargain members here who have gotten a few of these.

    Thanks again for the recommendation @Bill Sohne

    Stainless Waltham diver with orange second hand. This was in my watch list and the seller just dropped the price to $150- it probably won’t last long at that price. Seller says it doesn’t run but may be a simple fix during service- these used off the shelf movements.

    All stainless, automatic Bulova with a cool space age square case. On the smaller side at 29mm but that certainly wears much larger because of the shape.

    Croton does the Pie Pan Connie-

    Stainless Croton with a striking resemblance to the PPC. This is a nice execution with arrowhead markers and alpha hands. 34mm case is spot on- if this were actually a Connie, it would be 15x the price. Seller says working and has make offer- same seller as a few above with custom the Italian straps. Looks like there is a crack in the crystal but a generic should fit fine.

    Well, shit. Good catch. Someone should reach out to the seller and let him know. He probably missed it too

    Ok, we have flirted with the 70’s, we have grabbed a couple cool funky pieces, even @Syzygy has the cajones to grab that ultra funkaliciuos Jules Jergensen- it’s fun and cool and was cheap.
    But this is the 70’s in high style- about as cool as it gets. Brought to us by our own @JohnSteed - the ultimate golden sparkle Seamaster on factory bracelet. This thing is a statement!
    7C6F017E-8A47-446B-A361-E5DF1189BC7B.jpeg Just as cool with a T-shirt and jeans as it would be peeking from under the sleeve of a double cuff. Price is an insane deal.

    must.....resist.....

    That's a tough one to walk away from. Going to cook dinner, eat, pour a drink and sip slowly....all in hopes someone else pulls the trigger before I can't resist checking in to see what happened.
