I still have a sliver of hope those hands haven't been relumed and it's just the shitty pictures... Things look a bit more homogenous on this one. Fingers crossed!

Oh yeah- that does look good there

The bezel is spectacular- in better shape than both of mine

Been on a bit of a roll with dumpster diving these past months.

This one popped up the other day... I put in a cheeky offer that was accepted. Sure, it's a chrome plated version, but in spectacular shape.

Ordered a vintage BoR on the cheap and threw it on and I haven't been able to take it off since!

I also fell off the wagon for a week or two- just a slip!! Was planning on posting them here but caved.
I have recomposed myself and am back on track.

Post-caving posts are just as valid as recommended lay-ups for the rest of the gang. Nothing wrong with a little back-patting to encourage others to keep hunting.

That Arnex/Valjoux is amazing! Steel case?

Won this one a couple of days ago after 2 years of looking for a good example with signed bracelet and original box. Got one with all that and a little more.

Don't beat yourself up. When it comes to two watches like those, it's every man for himself 😁

Looks great! I have a few of these in my watchlist but haven't acted on any of them yet.

Cool 35mm Wyler Heavy Duty. Stunning radium dial with a nice and sharp case. And seller accepts offers.

This one is in better shape than mine and it’s marked HD 660 which mine isn’t- awesome watch.

And yes, the hands are blued- hence the blue strap

Another Mil-ships - not the cheapest we have seen lately, but looks to be in mint condition and comes with the box:

All steel Helbros skin diver. Pics are garbage and it's hard to tell if it's been relumed or not, but the bezel and case (when you can see it) look nice. Accepts offers, so might be a fun one to take a gamble on.

This came in looking very sharp. Lume color varies on hour & minute hands but the dial, case and bezel are extremely nice... Winning gamble on horrible listing photos...

Looks great! So did you post it here hoping that you could stop yourself from buying it? I think that worked out well this time.

Bargain thread Pro-tip:

Once you post a watch here, do not go back to eBay and look at it again…move along, nothing to see, chop-chop…
