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/

Fantastic watch! Excludes the UK as I might consider it! Boris Britain

Ok this is a Rotary which probably not a brand to set hearts on fire, but I think this is a pretty funky piece with nice chunky steel case for £50 or best offer and apparently running well. They used to use pretty decent movements back then so more than likely an automatic ETA inside.

Nice affordable entry into classic 70's style.

Says 36mm in the description- that’s a nice chunky sucker then. This is very smart looking.

The Rotary brand is perhaps better known for their vintage divers, like this one:

Hot OF bargain alert, brought to us by our own @cineaste

Lovely black dialed Eternamatic with sharp honest case and a a nice size at 34.5. Looks like a nice chunky sucker too. @€200 with a silver dial it would be a deal, with black dial it’s a screaming steal!

Yea its nice that.
I made an offer this morning, but was too slow

 

[JwRosenthal]

Ok, this is above the norm for this thread, but when we see a good value, it’s worth sharing.
This is an OF “value” alert (I think it’s a bargain but let’s call it a value), brought to us by our own @joeshoup

1977 Speedy with period 1171, extract and full serviced- for under $4k. Vintage honest speedys in good shape don’t come along often for reasonable money like this.

If you have been looking for a nice daily wear, vintage speedy- this pretty much does it.

the guilloche wavy pattern is almost non visible, makes it extra charming!

Sharp solid gold watch for 475eur on our very own sales section. Lesser known brand, but has @Tony C.'s approval which is good enough for me. If you have spent much time on this forum you know Tony has impeccable taste.

And the best part is that when people ask what watch you are wearing, you have to say the brand name with a strait face.

I do see where you are going there, but for some reason it doesn't make me think of the Pulp Fiction watch. Now here is a brand I could not say with a straight face:

This is an auction, but if it stays low it could be an opportunity to get a ribbon dial on the cheap. It would look nice on a strap. That crappy two-tone bracelet may turn off the competition:

This is also an auction but I know there’s a few Helbros fans here, and it’s an ‘alarm’ model. Seems to be original and reasonably tidy. Seller has a number of other items worth perusing including a Timex with an amazing dial and 50’s Omega but don’t know those well enough to recommend in this company.

Spooky season is in full swing. Which lucky USA based OF member is going to reel in this pumpkin special?
All stainless steel, unique numerals, even more unique lume color, and apparently all original. That's a LOT of pluses for under $75.

*no affiliations, I just felt like a sales pitch because there's no shipping to Europe.

And then this great Eterna-Matic. This would've been long gone (into my basket) if it weren't for the lume loss in the hands. Still, it's one of Eternas best designs in terms of case and dial. Fancy some arrowheads?
