    Yes Fred has gone and done the eventual buyer a big favor. Lots of great pieces that offer a great variety. It'd take us a while to put together something even remotely close. And even then the price would be much higher. Kudos to @janice&fred

    Speaking of Bulova. This one has a great dial but the case and lugs are definitely rough. Seller also calls it 70s but it's definitely older. Just wanted to share. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143698408515Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Welcome! Congrats on the Tissot. Should fix up nicely once you get it in for service if you choose to. Please stick around on this thread cuz you'll definitely learn a thing like I did. We post lots of stuff below $100 that is also worth a look too. But yes this thread is also all about 'self control' :D

    Elgin Sportsman- case appears to be stainless but no pic of back to know for sure. Original bowler hat crown, dial looks a little dusky but patina is even. Needs a bath and a crystal polish and should look smart.

    This is the 760cal USA made auto- one of the very few American made automatic movements- this is a nice piece of history. If the dial were flawless I would buy it.

    Thanks again for the heads up. Watch arrived today and couldn't be more happy. Just as good in the flesh and keeping great time. Fantastic value for money.

    Need to swap the strap for one longer to fit my large wrist but good to go part from that 20200825_204527.jpg

    This is a true classic- GP Accutron 214 Rail watch- I own one of these (mine is all stainless), fabulous watches.
    Seller claims serviced, if it actually was, that is worth the asking price and they are throwing in the watch for free. Also has make offer.

    Should also note- these watches came with different lug designs over the run- these lugs are very attractive.

    Enicar have arguably the coolest logo, not my field but seems tidy for the money.

    Edit: probably a redial, so not such a great example.
