Unusual patina Waltham, apparently in running condition.

I love how there isn't a single picture of the back of the watch. Come on seller! But yes, that is a very interesting patina.

I'm not looking for any more gold dress watches but if I was I'd probably be making an offer on this one.

Gold plated but lovely looking Helvetia with a nice linen dial. Right size too at 35mm.

This one is great. Textured dial if you look close too. Pictures don't do it justice. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203103586156

I was reading through this thread at the weekend and was surprised to see this Bulova was still available.

I really like the honeycomb dial with unique hour markers. It's quite similar to a Tissot that I own (see photo below) so it will be interesting to compare it to that.

Thanks to @Nepomuceño for the heads up and @JwRosenthal for the interesting strap suggestions. It will be a while before I receive it but will post some photos with it on the wrist (hopefully better ones than in the listing).

These would look nice on both the Tissot or the Bulova and give them a whimsical feel.

The green on the Tissot would look hot!

I've been on a suede kick lately for some reason. Many of these older "dress" watches can be stuffy and reserved, some would say boring. NATO straps just look wrong, but suede...in colors....now that is fun! Even a chestnut suede can bring a little fun, like brown suede brogues with a grey suit.

Man I was close to that one but I'm glad you got it. That dial texture is worth the price alone. West Ham fan as well?

Thanks bud, there's too many temptations on this thread LOL. You're spot on with the interpretation of my COYI handle

Ok here's a cheapy for the Vols fans! I know there are some of you around here, but I can't remember who.

Ok this one showed up. Think it looks pretty damn good a few marks on dial that couldn’t see in Ebay pics but honestly that is to be expected. I think the case is awesome and nice and sharp. Hamilton crown looks good. Needs a new strap as whoever put this one on had bear arms for a wrist. Something with some color makes sense to me. Also a quick google search I just did showed this link describing model which thought was interesting - http://www.hamiltonchronicles.com/2019/07/mystery-accumatic.html?m=1

Overall a great find and big thanks to @Nepomuceño.

Best of luck for the season coming from a Spurs fan 😉 I hope to see many more derbies between us too.

Love it! Yes, color- blue perhaps?

I like that! Especially the goldish stitching with the blue. Think it will work with the dial. Going to do a few strap orderings in near future anyway so will see if I can add one on like that.

This thread just continues to pull out some awesome stuff.

This is the one on the waffle Bulova, I have it in 3 colors. It's a nice strap but they are padded (if you like padded) and a little stiff at first.

Fancy lug gold plated Benrus with the banner dial. Needs a crystal and seller doesn't say if it is running- and second hand doesn't move in the pics, may be worth the ask. Make offer so may be able toget it for next to nothing.

That is official Tennessee Tartan! GBO! 😉 😀 👍

Cheap diver- Cauny chrome plated diver- nice looking dial and seller says it's an eta, movement pics are hard to see but it looks like one to me. Seller also says 38mm without crown which seems optimists but it may be.

Now this is intersting- SS Hamilton, it looks too good to be true- the sparkling white dial is perfect, original Kreisler stretchy and he has the catalog pic showing this bracelet...but I see no signs this is a refurb, it looks all original! Please any Hammy experts speak up if its not, but this looks like a senational time capsule watch at a great price

That lume dot at 9 seems to have migrated up the dial a bit...
