This is a good looking SS Wittnaur. I would call it a C-shaped but those lugs are really something else and almost seem to wrap the case and twist- great looking modernist design. The dial, lume and hands are excellent but as the seller notes, the second hand has been cut short- I assume sourcing another second hand wouldn't be too difficult. Use the second hand flaw to your advantage and see if you can get this thing for a steal.

There we go, back on track. It's a plated case but looks to be in nice shape and actually has brushing on the top surfaces- on a plated case! Should clean up nicely and be a good poor man's C-shaped Connie.

Here we go! Very fancy SS Bulova with Roman dial, nice looking lume and dog-legged case. Sunburst dial looks good under the scuffed- up crystal. Also has the 23j USA movement, and seller claims "serviced", which I highly doubt looking at the crystal, but sure- whatever, it's $125 w/make offer.

That's basically a bargain Polerouter right there. The eta is worth the price alone
The 2472 looks a lot like the 2453 movement of my Midland, both are 25 jewels. A evolution of that design no doubt. Certainly a class act. IIRC Hamilton used the 2453 in some of their products.

It’s my birthday tomorrow. For once I have an excuse.
That is a nice self-birthday gift! I think that was one of the best of the bargains.

It's my birthday tomorrow as well! I already bought a (much more expensive) watch this week, but I'm open to a cheap indulgence if anyone has a suggestion.

The last two I bought were Birthday gifts to myself. Now at the biblical expiration date so the rest is gravy. Shouldn't be hard to coast for a few years, its all downhill from here.

Well, as you look down into the grave, dig a few watch hidey-holes along I-40 from the NC line & let me know When you’re gone, I’ll dig ‘em up on the way to visit family. I will wear them with fond remembrances every time. 👍
