Another for the UK crowd, small at around 33mm but my goodness it's a pretty little thing!

Says fully serviced, I always take that with a pinch of salt especially at this price point but seller has good feedback and that movement certainly looks in great shape.

Engine turn bezel and roulette date wheel are nice

Indeed, an ultrasonic clean would bring that out lovely. And roulette date wheels are always fun.

I know this is an auction, but I wanted to share it anyway. This would be a beaut of a project: EPSA case, and looks like it might be in great shape beneath a beat-to-hell crystal and a lot of gunk. Says its not running but movement looks complete with no visible water damage.

It’s a nice project watch- but anyone bidding who doesn’t know these SC’s needs to be aware that the crystals on these are very specific- they aren’t just a domed GS you can get for $10. They have a special step on the bottom to raise them over the internal rotating bezel. If you put the wrong crystal in, the bezel won’t rotate. They are tough to find, I remember someone posting a Lip crystal that worked for these.

that the crystals on these are very specific
Good to know, thanks! I have a couple of watches looking for unobtanium crystals (if anyone can help with a crystal for an Enicar Super Jet Mark III, please get in touch).

I’m sure there are compatible crystals, I have seen a few mentions in threads long ago, but even if there was a cross reference for them- people would hoard them 😗
And no, i don’t have the Enicar- I’ve hoarded other unobtainium crystals though

How about cleansing the palate with this Yema Diver?
Looks like stainless, a bit grungey but with character?
Has make offer.. I’m sorely tempted. Seller in Morocco might be off putting..

I did buy a Certina DS-2 from this seller and it went fine. However, the DS-2 was in rough shape, rust on movement etc. and required extra work - it definitely needed a service. Ended up investing a fair amount to get it into good shape. I see rust on screws etc in the movement shots on this. Very cool watch, but looks like a project... I think when you buy divers from oceanside locations, there's a good chance they actually spent time in their target habitat...

OF bargain alert from our own @TheGreekPhysique

Nice looking 50’s Seamaster Calender in gold cap. Looks like a rather old redial and the case shows a little wear but it’s serviced and a very nice watch for $250. If you have been looking to get into the 50’s Seamasters or want to gift a vintage Seamaster to someone who isn’t a stickler for originality and perfection- this would fit the bill nicely.

A fantastic example of mid-century modern design (with a bit of that Polerouter aesthetic) on the 'Bay:

This is a 10k gold-filled US-cased model featuring Tissot's robust smooth-winding full-rotor automatic. Looks brand new with the correct signed crown and comes with the box as well. Caseback is engraved. Starting auction reserve price is reasonable for one of these in this condition.
