    Yeah, that’s got really sharp plating, beaded minute track and love those numerals. Also respectable size at probably around 34-35mm

    That one needs some real work- retaining ring is wrong, crown is wrong (or trashed), dial is gouged up- not so glorious anymore. But agree, for $66, it could be a good parter or baseline for a project.

    Hamilton GP Estoril 300 with date at 6. This is a slick looking late 60’s watch- plating looks decent, black dial with gold markers is sharp as shit! Crystal may polish up, original space-age H crown and the case back is awesome.

    Now this is different. 33mm so it's on the smaller side but it's serviced. And if you're into Art deco you gotta appreciate this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254698636867Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    @JwRosenthal arrived today, pretty happy although it is smaller than expected. Luckily I have skinny wrists and no ego, dark grey suede strap on order. Cheers

    This is one that I am now kicking myself over- holy crap! Look at those pips, and the depth on that dial, and the applied indices that play the light....yum!

    As for size, as I have said in many-a-thread, wear it with a long sleeve shirt for a solid week and no other watch, and you won’t even notice the size and in fact will feel like your wearing an a anchor when you strap a 40+ watch back on.

    Oh- and dibs.

    Dibs noted! I wear 34mm stuff quite often and presumed this was the same, it just surprised me at 31mm. Literally no big deal, it’s a charmer!

    Yeah, 31 is on the line. I have had success using a pull through strap like an RAF style- the leather ones can be quite smart looking and help bulk it up a bit

    When I've cleaned it up a bit and put on a new strap I'll try to get some decent shots but I'm no cameraman :(
