This is the best auction description I have ever seen.

This is the best auction description I have ever seen.

You know it is bad when the seller posts only one image and it is of the caseback.

To be fair the seller states in the description: "More details to follow and more pictures."

I can't wait.

Actually, this is probably set up for a specific buyer.
I had a buyer I was working with who bought a few pipes from me. We started chatting and I put together a lot for him and made a specific listing using a single bad blurry photo and the description was “pipes” with a BIN of $9999 and a make offer (so the buyer could make his offer and I accept).
Sure enough, within 60 seconds of posting the listing, I had 2 inquires asking for more information

No option make an offer, auction only. Not a recommendation, but in case others want to join in the speculation.

I am assuming he got a package price for making x number of listings and is using that as a place holder to get the deal.

Price is insane. It’s quite a high price for an “old watch”— I’ve picked up many for much less.

Putting this in the dumpster diving thread since its not a perfect watch but a Cal 565 of any variety is worth a bit and this one looks decent with a low BIN price and open to offers

EXCUSE ME!! I resemble that remark!
And does next to a dumpster still count as dumpster diving?

 

[JwRosenthal]

Ok, who said we don’t find EU watches- here we go.

Lovely 36mm Pryngeps with sunburst dial. The case looks very slim with nice long curved lugs- probably wears fairly large. Movement looks like a manual wind eta, this will probably clean up beautifully.

Very nice 37mm chrome plated Alpha chronograph with gold furniture and Landeron 48 movement. Alpha made quality watches back in the day, not the same company we know now that does homages of famous watches.
This one looks to be in excellent shape, slight corrosion on the hands but all radium lume is intact chrome is in great shape and dial is outstanding. Seller has make offer, any working Landeron based chrono of this era in the $400 range is spot on for value.

Lovely lovely old Chrono!
Someone should snap that up.
To my eye the hands don’t look like they fit the watch: but I bow to greater knowledge!

The angle of the photo above makes it look like the minute hand is a tad too long, but it looks just right in the straight on shot. They look ok to me, but I am no Alpha chrono expert (is anyone?).

It’s a nice watch for the money. If I didn’t have 3 like this already I would jump on it.i have an Alpha diver from the 60’s that’s awesome.

So as we all know, this thread is not about dumpster diving (thanks Ash) but about sharing good values. For some of us, we only post watches we would buy ourselves if it were something that would fill a hole in our collection or we had the means to buy it- this one falls into both catagories for me.
Brought to us by our own @Kargol - a fantastic stainless Zenith El Primero. This one has been on my list for a while but I’m not in a position to buy at the moment- someone here really needs to keep this in the family.
As the Daytona is to the pimped out G-wagon, this is to a classic air cooled 911.
The price is spot on, about as low as I have seen them and the bracelet is a massive plus.

This wouldn’t be a great holiday self-gift.

No it wouldn’t. Thank God it’s in the EU! Fix avoided.

Typo- but I obviously was trying to use reverse psychology- you do not want this watch, this watch sucks, it’s not a great deal, it will not make you more virile and attractive to both sexes.
