So, not old- but cool. This is one of the modern reissues of the classic Oceanographer in one of the alternate color ways. There is a lot of polarized opinions on these, but as a lover of the original 666’s, I was happy to see Citizen actually care to get these as close as they did to the originals. It is slightly larger than the OG’s at 44mm’s, but the UFO case actually makes them feel a bit smaller (bezel is actually around 41ish). The factory bracelet (again- nice remake of the bullet bracelet) and additional strap + full kit makes this a nice deal for the price- and seller has make offer.
If you want the 666 flair but don’t want to deal with NLA parts and cracked bezels, this may be a nice choice.

Groovy 70’s stainless Elgin with brilliant blue dial. Case is a little…soft, but could be a good candidate for a shade-tree rebrush. Says working, cheap-cheap

These reissues are great and that price is really keen compared to what I have seen from UK sellers. The only reason I am not buying is location/postage/vat etc.
This would be a great daily beater for someone

It is a good price for a classic watch. The reissue nailed the appearance spot on, but this is not the vintage size. If you have bigger wrists, the 44mm case will wear nicely. It would be a no go on my 6.5" wrists.

No whale?

 

[wagudc]

This one comes with a whale and wrist cheese

It could clean up nicely though and a funky chunky 70s whale watch.

I actually like the watch @JwRosenthal posted better, but vintage Bulova are a gold mine for bargains.

Pretty much the last gasp for value in an in-house movement company that made very high quality mass produced watches.

Possible bargain diamond in the rough. Terrible pictures, foggy crystal, and the crown isn't signed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-1950s...2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=706-127636-26712-0

Saw that one- the bracelet is probably original and very cool. Couldn’t see if it has a little crack in the bottom of the crystal or if it’s just glare

This is on the Instagram auction site two_vintage_seikos and not their usual Seiko/Citizen offerings. They had a Rado go a few days back for cheap and I think this might of interest to bargain hunters of 1960’s automatics. Reserve is AUD$195 and no bids as yet. (Less than US$150 for northern hemisphere types)

Been for sale for a while so they might take 500 bucks or so. Not cheap I know but I really like it. Italians have loads of taste in watches

TV Elgin. Dial has some nice texture and the case maintains brushing. Light wear to the plating however but still worth a share. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ELGIN-SWIS...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
