·I’m not a Speedy guy so I may have got this wrong, but this looks to be at the cheaper end of the range for the model. On offer at £1800. Just serviced, but no information as to what kind of service or who it was serviced by.

·I’m gonna post this here and if it’s still available once I’ve slept on it, I’ll probably make an offer.

·Nice looking Elgin Ord Dept watch. These were typically early watches that were recased by the military post war. This one has a nice dial and hands, some typical marring on the surface but lume is all intact. Seller says recently serviced and running well. Although small at 32mm, these are real military pieces so I wear them with the joy of that in mind- it’s how our grandfathers wore them. Original pass through OD straps still pop up on eBay to make it complete. If I didn’t already own one of these, I would grab this one at the BIN.

·Thanks @JwRosenthal for reigniting this thread! Decent bargains seem to be few and far between these days, and eBay's been looking quite dried up, so appreciate having one of us here keeping an eye out.
This all stainless Croton also caught my eye with the nice twisted lugs and clean linen dial. A bit pricey but the seller accepts offers.

·Devil diver in desperate need of a crystal, hands and a service but the case and bezel look OK and potentially the lume is nice and puffy. I’ve been on the hunt for this bracelet for a while too and whilst not the cheapest I’ve seen a lot worse go for a lot more.

This looks like a Korean War era case to me. There was so much WWII surplus, and these watches were put into different cases. I believe this is the parkerized case from the Korean War, not the chrome case of WWII. Nothing wrong with it. It tells a piece of history, but if you are looking for a 100% WWII watch, I don't think this is it.

·Who wants to get their freak-on?!?!
Two-tone Technos Borazon with sunburst purple dial, faceted crystal and factory two-tone bracelet- yow!!! Normally I’m not a fan of two-tone, but the Gold is restrained here to be highlights.
This is a fun 70’s statement piece to the max!!

·It is the 3818/A17 case. They were recased in the same way guns were re-arsenaled and put back into stock. It’s the same as mine.
Do you think I'm correct, the guts are WWII and it was recased Korean war era?

·Yes- we are saying the same thing. But it was done officially by the military and not an aftermarket recasing.
Yes we agree. It does tell a bit of history. The US war production machine cranked out a phenomenal amount of equipment. Even as a child of the 80s, I had a ton of WWII surplus stuff. Wooden framed backpack, canteen, masonite helmet liner, canvas tents, wool shirt . . .
