    That's your best pick yet!! I give it three stars ;)

    Seriously, the dial looks near flawless, orginal 3 star crown and even the original strap!!

    Oh my :D you might be single handedly pushing the vintage market up. And $35 is worth it for that condition. You scored big with this one!

    Nice looking GP Clebar. Red date wheel is a nice touch. Plating looks good albeit micro-scratching. Back looks to be rebrushed which is odd given the service history is unknown. Still, not a bad deal for little money.

    This is kitschy but cool. Corporate gift from Baskin Robbins- ice cream chain for those who aren't in the US, known for having 31 flavors...which was a big deal once upon a time. Looks to have gone in the closet at the award- still has the box....but no ice cream.

    Nice looking 1959 SS Bulova, seller is the kind we love- sharp pics, shot of dial out of case, movement pics.
    Case looks sharp, dial is great, lume is all there. This is the glory period for Bulova.

    Lovely Certina DS with turtle back in the UK. Dial has slight water damage at the bottom, if it didn't I would have already bought this. Case is sharp, lugs are awesome, crown is original. The patina is far less than we normally see on these and price is better than we usually see.

    Another Certina- GP looks to be in nice shape and has taken on a tarnish- would probably shine up with a Cape Cod cloth. Dial looks excellent with lume pips intact, factory crown. This is a smart looking watch. Seller has other goodies, check them out.

    What's funny is I was talking with @Scarecrow Boat on PM about how threads like this don't help the deals stay deals and this morning while having my coffee, there was nothing- like a void of good eBay deals- they were just gone. I thought maybe we all broke eBay....but apparently not.
