That’s exactly what I thought!

 

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.

In space terms a galaxy is much more grand than a constellation

 

Here’s one only offered to UK buyers. You can buy this watch new for around £300. 6 hours left and no bids starting at £100. Rather nice looking diver with sapphire crystal, NH35 movement. Comes with case and papers.

White dial bulova from a few pages back. Definitely needs a new crystal

 

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.

Nice!
My black says hi

 

I know nothing about the brand, new seller. But really cool watch, seller claims it's serviced, SS case, and the price is right. Get it before I change my mind. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Romont-Aut...284044?hash=item217379d14c:g:vAgAAOSwWHtfJfQfPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

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.

 

Stay tuned, the night is young.

 

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.

 

Or L'shnah Tova- Happy New Year!! Always a reason to celebrate with a self-gift

 

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.

 

@janice&fred ’s mom is having a garage sale, maybe go have a look-see

 

And he can tell you where to get a whole bag of watches.

 

One of the nicest "devil divers" I've seen. It's an auction, so may not be cheap. Too small for me at 35mm, so I'll share:
