Possible good deal. Needs work, probably broken mainspring.
Bidding still low at $26.
Bulova , looks very old (1943)and very unusual case, dial really rocks.

I love the ruler. I think the tag line is to let people know where they are located, but it reads like their code of ethics. Great dial on the watch

This one the seller is calling a women's watch. Even though there's an engraving to "Cecil". Anyone know a woman named Cecil? https://www.ebay.com/itm/184297652497
Rolex markets their 36mm OP line to women- that’s fine by me, wouldn’t mind being in touch with my feminine side of the prices weren’t sickening.

And I’ve seen many listings for 30-32mm vintage pieces as “boys” size...yeah, ok🙄
Who was buying their child a Longines in 1945?

I was going to buy this, but I know that I will just look at it. it's only 33mm.

the case is a little rough, and needs a new crystal. pm'd seller and he said it keeps time and will ship for $10.00

Were it in better shape, I'd be all over it. Love that dial style.

Great looking but it's going to jump massively in the next six days. Remember to try to post BIN as examples like these are going to exceed what is considered a "bargain" 👍

Hehe yep. Waiting is unbearable.

As is falling asleep and seeing it in the morning well within your budget for bidding, closed, without you putting a bid in... Happened more times than i'd like to admit.

I’ve been like a hawk on a certain, not very expensive brand lately (a bargain brand we could say). I see everything that’s posted and check new listings multiple times a day. I went into completed auctions the other day to reference something I had seen and saw I had apparently missed one of the rarer models I had been lusting after- sold with a BIN for $70 about a week ago...obviously when I was either asleep or something.
We can’t have all the watches.

Same. Just now on eBay I watched a Sea Wolf on auction go for $250. Huge bidding at the end but it takes some real commitment when on auction.

Someone did you a favor. As the owner of 2, they suck when you need parts
