I take personal responsibility for pushing some things... I'm always rooting a little harder for our family members here over eBay sellers, perhaps sometimes it does come off a little strong.
I’ve never experienced this thread as pushy. I find it a nice place to see fun watches at affordable prices, and I enjoy it more than the WRUW thread most of the time.

To the collective on these- the holidays are right around the corner- think one for yourself and gift the 2 others. Or maybe gift all 3. These are funky cool for a man, or totally awesome for a woman- think wife, daughter, niece....

I agree 100%. If it were not the case that my wife is a minimalist without an adventurous style, I would have grabbed her one. My daughters are still too young and rowdy for mechanical watches I would go there. For now we will stick to Casio digital watches and Swatch analog watches for the kiddos.

This on Chrono24

Had me too, but I'm worried about how the "s" on the end of swiss is being "pulled" up toward the 6 marker, and the odd glue like substance around the markers.

I thought it looked okay, the dial looks age(d) appropriate and IMO, quite good, ditto the hands, case and crown, and we all know that photos can distort, particularly through old, unpolished crystals.

I’d want to ask the seller about how the watch runs and might have put in a lower offer

But for the fact that I already have two of these I might have gone for it.

This just in and happy with it, runs well 45 hours power reserve, accurate enough and it's a soleil dial which is a bonus. I'm a thinking the chrono seconds hand may be a replacement but a well running valjoux 7733 for less than US$500 is a great deal.
Many thanks to all for pointing this out and on to the pics

Something different in Canada. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/174346075268
Now that is intersting. The dull mid-case finish looks like aluminum, particularly considering I don't see the standard pitting one would see on a pot metal case. The surface area under the case back with the smallish movement looks like it could potentially be a larger case size- like 34-37, but seller makes no mention of size..

I bet it's 34mm at best. Never heard of creation before either but the movement looks pretty good.
