Now that's a friggin deal!
The link says that watch sold for $455. Could the seller have reneged on accepting the $300 offer?

If you do an Advanced search for the watch under "Completed" or "Sold" listings, you'll see that that the $455 has a line through it--meaning it sold for less.

Oops. Wine fuelled offer of $300 accepted. Photos to follow.

That's an awesome watch. I need to low ball more often.

Mid century dress watches are fascinating. Feel encouraged to post more 👍

edit, I know it’s not the point of this thread, but I’m enjoying it more than the WRUW thread

Pour encourager Les autres...

This arrived today. 30 mins later. Newish crown fitted from the spares box, old Black lizard vintage strap I had lying around. and a good sand down and repolish of the crystal. Ain’t she pretty? Total cost to me...55 bucks.

only reason i said that is because those watches have taken over the thread..

here's a pretty cool one.

seller says it's 35mm..which is better than 34mm...haaaa..

I would hazard a guess that what we now consider a dress watch was the most produced of all wristwatch styles.
There is far greater variety in styling than you'd find in milspec or tool watches.

1. Beauty.
2. Looks like they saved some money on applied numerals: the 6 and 9 are the same.
3. What does "Tropicalized" mean on the caseback? It also says "Waterproof," so that's not it.
4. Does not ship to the U.S.

I agree- I enjoy a little diversity and try to put them up when I find them, but obviously the 50's/60's dress/sport watches are abundant and cheap thrills.

Attractive SS black dialed Bulova from 1959. This one looks great, dial is beautiful and lume is as we like it. Could use a good scrub (toothbrush and Naptha if you can't dissasemble for soapy scrub followed by a damp paper towel and your finger nail around those nasty crevices). It's small at 31mm but that big black dial will pop on your arm.

Super clean Blumus- what is a Blumus? Sound like something you do to someone as a prank or an act of which we do not speak in polite company.
This is a very clean design, the dial is spectacular, case is razor sharp with great chamfers and play of brushed and polished surfaces. Not sure if this is stainless or plated but it's clean as hell. Would be very curious what's inside. Seller says 36mm so it's sizable, and make offer.

what is a Blumus?
A guy once cut a blumus in an elevator and two old ladies had cardiac arrest.
It took an hour for the custodian to scrub down the walls with bleach.
