You are so funny, not only you used caps but also put a link of a potentially fraudulent website!

Caps was a mistake. Fraudulent?? No sir. I own Caring Transitions of Treasure Valley. We are the largest online Estate Liquidators in the U.S. Our auction platform is at CTBids.com. Why did you think it was potentially fraudulent?

Sorry, Firefox was not displaying it correctly, maybe it is the addons I have installed. In connection with caps, I thought you were making a joke.

FWIW, I find the type of photo "enlargement" tool that your site employs to be almost unusable. I don't bid through such sites without access to full, large, high-quality images, and expect that I'm not alone.

And here comes a double-signed Mido Powerwind, with its original papers, confirming its sale in July '56 in the Türler Zurich boutique.

Haven't worn this one in a while. Shame, as it's a great watch that keeps good time. It has a little brother here which is needing service at present. Was one of those $5 purchases at a gun show.

Very nice, I like the little brother 👍

This beauty arrived today, the grey linen dial is in great condition, photos do not do it justice.

Within the time, got a second one. It's a Ocean Star Commander 5059 with serial# 3091804. So it should be from about 1965.




Together with it's brother:

Mido had so many variations of that basic watch. My two are just a drop in the ol' bucket..

Hard to find in good condition. Had the smaller one serviced, so worth it for me. In this case the service was more than the actual purchase.
