    Gold filled Gruen Pan American. The case back isn’t marked Pan-Am, but it is. This is about as clean as I have ever seen one (expect for mine ;)). These were only made from 1945-1949.

    the bracelet is awesome on this as well, no clue of bracelet size but regardless, these look great on leather. Someone grab this please- I’m having a hard time resisting this one

    Russian watch, I own the good plate version. $85 is a standard to not very good price for these. I think the USSR cranked these out by the millions.

    Upping the game a little- lovely SS Eterna, signed crystal and crown. Dial looks great, lume pips are nice and bright. case has sharp lines- make offer.

    If this Pobeda is any indication the markers are likely not applied but rather are slits cut into the dial face, a gold colored base material showing through. Either that or the gold tone is somehow applied to the exposed metal.

    The effect is striking when you view the dial from various angles, the markings seem to float above the dial, as if in the crystal.

    Running and apparently clean SS 31mm Benrus (I think it may be 32-33, these usually were by this point). Pics suck.
    $25-
    Get it while it lasts.

    This one is still towards the high end but it's been reduced by a great amount. Wyler speaks to me... https://www.ebay.com/itm/193286392504Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    And this one for the UK. Gives me Polerouter vibes with an ETA 2472. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324255391729Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Cool dial but I wonder if the hands are original, they don’t really tie in aesthetically.

    Nice. I actually like this better than a Polerouter.

    Looked more into it and you're right. This is what is should probably look like. Can't say I hate the hands but definitely not as aesthetically pleasing as the originals.
