In case you desperately need another wrist for the 2nd of the three @JwRosenthal , I might also be able to help you out there. Completely selflessly, of course.

 

So kind of you to offer to carry another's burden.

 

big thanks to @JwRosenthal

 

Dammit!!! Why do I keep giving these away!!!!

you need more pics of that dial in different light. And we need to do a roll call soon.

and I just noticed that it has the sub-dial over 6 rather than in place of 6- is this a jumbo (36-37mm)

 

I’ll work on better pictures. It is small. I measured it at 33mm.

 

It’s really outstanding! Those dial textures are what watch dreams are made of.

 

Not something for me but I know there’s a lot of Gruen fans

 

Plated 60’s Gruen, love the full numeral dial, green radium Lume is almost all there (6 pip looks half there), but this is about as clean as they come.

I almost didn’t post this- I kept looking at the pics and almost hit the BIN, this one is a tough one to pass on.

Late 50’s/early 60’s SS Wittnauer- this thing is stunning. All pips are there hands have original lume, only slight marks on the dial around 3-5. This is a spectacular watch.

10k plated Hamilton, look at that damn dial.....yowza! Lots of light scratching and unflattering lighting but a cape cod cloth could probably bring this thing back to glory.

I was tempted by this one. Very nice and those long lugs are cool.

 

I have gone back to the listing twice since I posted it...this one is tough for me...I may cave

 

You want to push that button:

 

(Dooooo itttttttttt)

 

Nooooooo! I have really been trying to be good

 

(Doooooooo Ittttttttttttttttttttt!)

 

I know I am not the only nerd here.

I was on this watch but now that it's been recklessly outed here I'm afraid hodinkee is going to pick up on it and the bidding might become fair and square. HUMPH!

 

This may fall into the dirt pleasures category- like singing along with Barry Manilow in the car when you’re alone...we all know the words to Mandy.

 

Looks like Leela from Futurama's wrist band.
Too bad the stand isn't included. It would make for a neat desk or night stand clock when not being worn. I might bid on this one myself.

Stuff like this is sought for use as "found props" in indy sci fi movies. I saw a duplicate of my folding (press button on the side and it unfolds itself) clip on book reading light used in a sci fi movie as a pocket hologram projector.
Electronics and even toys so old they aren't easily recognized are perfect for this use.
