I just found this thread and was pretty excited to find people talking Vintage Mido!
I know its kinda old but maybe someone's still looking...
I'd like to share some pics of my Ocean Star that I picked up about a year ago at a pawn shop here in Eugene Oregon.
$50 purchase + $200 at the watchmaker. I'm probably in it for what its worth but I love it.
New Bonklip (+$16)

That's a rare dial. Never saw a black one, ever.

Sorry for the weird angle, there are too many reflections otherwise.

One I had up for sale a while back, thankfully zero interest and now happy to hold on to it for a long time 😀

I have a couple more. A 1964 Ocean Star Powerwind and a Multifort Powerwind with funky factory installed "Expando" band, 1959..

Already am addicted.

That's a real beauty. I wonder how many of those were actually sold?

Ever have watches you regret selling? I know Mido may not have the brand prestige of others, but here was a yard sale find I regret selling. I find myself posting these things too cheap in other forums, as I don't have my 200 posts here, and people on say WUS aren't as hard core as OF when it comes to appreciating vintage. So I sold this one a while back for a measly $80 after bumpingit maybe a dozen times. Now I find a well known Instagramer selling an older but similar Multifort for $800. Anyways, show me some vintage Mido's!

Same story. I sold a 1950s Mido Multifort SuperAutomatc at auction last month for under $100. I now seriously have sellers remorse.
