    The Longines is interesting, dial is similar to the Wittenaur diver, the lume is a bit wierd- would what a resident Longines expert to weigh in on that before I pulled the trigger.

    That Rodania is a steal and will clean up beautifully.

    A cheaper option. Honestly Caravelles are plentiful. A great option for anyone. https://www.ebay.com/itm/223489162099Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Not the cheapest but what a dial. And that caseback alone could make me buy this Benrus. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224040943362Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Lanco Disco Volante at a massive 38mm- this is a stunning piece. Yes, it’s plated, but who cares- it’s fabulous. This is the vintage piece for those who like larger watches.

    Hope you get it.
    I was considering putting in a offer, but luckily for me my credit card site is down for maintenance. If I had not stashed almost all the cash in my account for safe keeping I still could have made a bid. With the site down I can't access my account to un-stash and move cash around. I'll be an onlooker for the next few days.

    That's tough luck buddy but I guess my gain. Offer accepted so hope it will arrive in a week or two and live up to expectations. (Seller is listed in US but delivery from Argentina so you never know. Fingers crossed!)
    $125 was worth the risk

    Now I’m kicking myself for not making an offer on it. Never thought it would go that low!

    Neither did I but I put it on my "Watch" list and he immediately made an unsolicited offer to me at $199 so thought I would chance my arm with a counter offer. Just a lucky day I guess

    I’ve done that a few times with the unsolicited offer and have been amazed by what they will take.
    Then there are the guys who you counter and they come back $1 less than their original offer...yeah, you can hang on to that watch a bit longer there pal.

    Says 36mm, that’s pretty substantial for a Mido- I raise an eyebrow but it could be right. Needs a crystal and service obviously but the dial looks great and case has some honest wear. For the right offer.... @Gav1967 seems to be on a roll, maybe he can get if for $12. :rolleyes:

    Another Benrus. Hard to really tell if it's worth it. The lighting is terrible but the price is decent. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383682791915Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
