Circa 1958 Tissot Seastar, manual-wind, steel case, in reasonable shape for a reasonable price ($150) on the 'Bay. Great starter watch for someone wanting to try vintage. It even retains its original signed crown!

What a find! That is a winner for $150!

@Toishome just dropped this lovely Omega into bargain territory. Yes it has some dial patina, but actually kind of cool looking (street cred). The serviced 565 is worth the asking alone. And don’t forget that these tank style cases have a different way of wearing that their round brethren- 33.5 is quite large for one of these

I don't think seller knows anything about watches. I suspect this might even work. All you can loose is about $20. Take a gamble.

Unique 218 Accutron with original bracelet. Very cool, but due for a service which will double the cost if you are willing to send it to Rob B. in Thailand, elsewhere will cost you more.

@Lionello it needs a service but the price is right!

Cheapie skin diver with some issues (case wear, needs service) but the dial and hands look great and it's on an (original?) tropic-like bracelet. Great look.

Postage almost twice the price of the watch

Would this still be good value at $210 US?

I'm a bit confused. If you're talking about that specific watch, it's a better value at its current Buy It Now price of USD $150. The seller might even accept less if you reach out and make an offer. If you're talking about Seastar models in general, then we'd need to see the watch before a value judgement could be made.

I mean this particular watch.
On my eBay, BIN shows as $164.99 US
and get it into Australia total cost including postage and import fees would be $210.(or so)

sorry I should have provided a better explanation in my first question.

I would go up to $250 for a really good clean example. The problem here is the photos are less than ideal. I spent a while staring at the photos and I think the case is sharp, which is good. I can't tell how clean the dial is. Maybe you should ask the seller to take a picture of the dial next to a window.

There is always this option where you could forgo eBay. I personally don't know if it's still available as he hasn't updated the listing but it's another Seastar to look at.

Vintage alpina for those of us in Uk Europe
Slightly marred by dirt? on top of second dial

 

[Pianotuna]

It’s not a BIN but bidding is ridiculously low and I know there’s a couple of Helbros fans here. Same seller has a tidy 50’s Wittnauer as well.

Somewhat dinged up Birka cutie for two digits BIN.
Do note this is a radium dial so do not work on it unless you are specialized.

If you like the look of this Birka, I'd "splurge" on this myself: https://omegaforums.net/threads/1940s-certo-bullseye-dial-all-stainless-steel-manual-caliber.136853/
