I have a couple divers with Lorsa movements- pretty robust and whole movements can be purchased cheaply. I got a NOS one for $25 for this one which had a rusty movement but was cosmetically nice - runs like new now.

Not normally a fan of day/date but this is a nice execution. Chrome plate looks to be in excellent shape, dial looks good with bright puffy lume- this is a good looking watch.

That one went quick. Great looking lugs though.
I would have bought it if I'd seen it.
The possible WW2 veteran connection would have cinched it for me.

And this one went for $45 😲
Could be distortion from the crystal but to me the lettering on the dial looks poorly hand drawn.

yeah that looks fishy but at 45 bucks worth a flyer for someone.

Personally I think it's the scuffs on crystal but who knows. The seller seems to be looking for quick bucks and $45 for a beater is worth the risk.
