    Great case shape and love the curved day-window, the only way I would like a day on my watch

    Did anyone snag or see this one? $30 Tissot not working but sold. Pictures weren't great but who knows.

    About $180 USD BIN. Nice vintage Certina. I am not an expert on these, but looks good to me.

    On the high side of “deal” but seller claims fully serviced by a watchmaker- not “I got a guy”, so that does add over half the value.

    This one has it all- linen dial, coin edge bezel, fantastic lugs, USA movement- but it’s small at 30mm and gold plated. If you can rock the small- this is awesome.

    That is downright handsome. Much better than in the eBay photos.

    That’s nice! Is there a pattern on the dial?

    Yea a linen dial. But it has this pattern that looks like scratches but seems to be part of the dial.

    So I'm pretty sure that this chronograph with no name on it is a bargain at $270. The dial looks pretty amazing, along with a rose gold case. I'm guessing it's plate since the back is stainless, but it is a nice looking watch, despite the seller's awful photos.

    Either the dial or the hands have been replaced as the dial has lume pips (dark but there) and the hands don’t. But a cool watch for little more than the value of the movement.

    Indeed, "boitier plaqué" = "plated case."

    This one would clean up well with a new crystal. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124297881982Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I've been watching these posts and they've been very helpful. So I went to contribute and instead bought myself a watch ::facepalm1::
    ... so I'm both happy and sad. My search was for a cheap military feel vintage.

    So here is my second choice, a 33mm Ralco Manual Wind TuxdeoPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network for $139 USD with "Make Offer". Fellow members, please correct me if wrong. Picked based on
    1. Nice look - yes not quite military
    2. Original Dial and Hands
    3. Likely little or unpolished
    Con's, no idea of Ralco movements are any good, but they were produced by Movado.

    And the one I actually bought, Helvetia 3190P30 Military 30mm $225 USDPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network, but agreed on $159 USD. Before this I had no knowledge of Helvetia, but @CVivash has a great Helvetia History website that is very informative. Picked based on,
    1. Nice dial, original hands, original crown
    2. Likely unpolished
    3. Serviced (hmm... I'll ask from whom) with warranty - which I waived with the discount
    Con's, I'm a little concerned with what looks like rust but let's wait and see.

    Hopefully it arrives early next week!
