    I thinks that's possibly the best deal in this entire thread, wish I'd seen it earlier myself but happy someone here grabbed it. Beautiful.

    This is great mid-century sporty yummines. SS Lord Elgin Aquamaster- cross hair dial, lume pips on the rehaut, block and stick hands and markers, tucked crown and short underhung lugs with a great looking movement. This would look fantastic on a Forstner mesh bracelet for some dazzle or restrained but sporty on a black textured slim strap. Great size at 35mm and seller has make offer.

    Oh man...I like that Lord Elgin, but just as you posted this, my wife says 'are you expecting another package honey?'. Way too many incoming lately!

    Watch parts....parts sounds better then saying I got another watch...and it's not untrue - it is a collection of parts.

    Please pardon the crappy picture, but the sun is gone for the day. Bracelet is a bit out of whack, but everything else seems quite nice for the price!

    Who wants to take a gamble? Great looking SS Hamilton Electric with cross hair dial. Seller says not running but hasn't opened the back to even try a battery. Could be an easy $3 fix, or a hot mess inside- only the buyer would know. Plus you need to know a watchmaker that can service these things.
    See how badly he wants to sell it.

    Pretty cool Wyler here. Great brushing on the case. Photos are bad especially when the first one is upside down :cautious: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333729429954Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Swap out the bracelet and put it on leather :thumbsup: it’s fun seeing someone buy the deal I shared. Such a great looking watch - and half what I have seen them sell for.

    Yeah, the curvature of the endlinks are for a flatter profile- most likely a C or cushioned case. But that just means now you have to find a watch for the bracelet ::psy::

    As I told a friend who asked if he could have my stuff when I'm dead " After saying that I'll outlive you if I have to kill you myself".

    Different looking Fortis. Cool design and a sweet ETA movement to boot. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333729508044Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    The white ones are more uncommon than the black so they will Probably not pop up as frequently though

    Like the one on the right? I got that on a non working diver which cost me $14. Keep watching those listings. The straps and bracelets are often worth way more than the watches... 5EC46FC4-7A15-4A6C-82ED-89009727F6AF.jpeg
