    Hamilton alert. Crystal is quite bad but otherwise it could be worth offering down a bit. Check it out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333475295928Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I’ll throw this one out. I don’t know much about the brand but this Gubelin seems to be in fine condition. Description says 35mm.

    I know. Is that like two-fifths of a chronometer?

    Don’t tell the seller that ;) I don’t know how much better such a movement would be, but from what I’ve read, definitely better. I’ve been reading that Gubelin was a retailer, not a manufacturer, so it would be interesting to learn what movement that is.

    just to let people know.

    watch was sold on the 13th for $660 in a private auction

    four bids in the last minute ranging from $628 to the final hammer price of $660.

    watch was relisted 2 days later

    That's a good note to have. The dial is really very clean....too clean? I would compare the logo and font against other known models like this- perhaps the re-list was due to a buyer who did their research after the sale.

    it could be many reasons...i'm not saying seller and the watch isn't legit, but private auction, no reserve and relist are 3 red flags

    i was going to bid on this but i will release

    there's a lot to like..but these no reserve auctions you always run the chance with shill bidding and dishonest sellers, which is kind of why i don't even want to post them. there's always a chance things are on the level and you could get a deal.

    i don't want to turn this into a "what's wrong with ebay" thread, but i noticed this watch and i wanted to show you.

    ebay has size requirements of the images you use when you sell. here's where it gets dicey. the smallest allowable image cannot be enlarged.

    when i came across this watch i wanted to enlarge it to view it better. it turns out i can't. i then looked at the sellers other auctions and all of them you can enlarge, and the images are clear.

    100% greasy unless you can convince me otherwise....looks like a bad redial and the seller is purposely not wanting you to know it.

    NOS with that numbering. It is laughable.

    well. you know they wanted $250 and it didn't sell. so they up the bin and hope to get $250.....but at least you're armed with some leverage.

    I hate that shit- they up it after it doesn't sell- that when I don't re-watch it as that's just insulting. You're going the wrong way!!!
