Well not THAT Caesar Romero...This Benrus alarm belonged to Caesar Romero from Cebu City Philippines, not the slightest bit remarkable of a fella to tell ya the truth but he has good taste in watches and lived in our neighborhood. The watch runs great, the alarm works fine and is nice and loud, and it's a fairly nice looker with a gorgeous original dial and the case has some nicks here and there but still presents nice and would clean up good with a light rub down from a cape cod or jewelry polishing cloth. Nice looker and good sized watch.



3 more Benrus beauties in this package deal...
Next up is this wild looking men's size sunburst dialed 3 star automatic 25 jewel of a honeybunch with fancy lugs. Gorgeous sunburst deeply textured dial alternates from gold to silver color depending on the viewing angle and light. Very nice clean case showing only minor signs of use and another good runner. However, sometimes the second hand touches the top of the minute hand and stops so if someone is handy and can pop off the crystal it should be an easy adjustment. Since last night it hasn't happened so it's fairly unpredictable but to be safe and not miss an appointment one should give the second hand a quick tweak so it's not so close passing over the minute hand.

The square Benrus in some of the pictures is the 3rd watch in this package. It's a super good runner and nice and clean men's manual winder with a mint silver sparkly dial.



The 4th and last Benrus is this way cool '50's Snazzy men's stainless hot rod with neato deco numerals. Another super good runner with a nice clean dial and has a West German stretchy bracelet on it. Signed original crown and the acrylic crystal has a minor stress crack near 12:00 that's hard to see in all the pictures and not super noticeable on the wrist. Light stylistic engraving on the back "WKK". Obviously was a man of taste and means this WKK fellow.



All these for only $220 including delivery anywhere in the USA. But wait...that's not all. Included in this package will also be another men's good running watch absolutely for free! All you gotta do is send money honey. Me and the watches are here in Connecticut and I can take checks or wire transfer. PM me and let's do this. The sooner the better as my wife's a degenerate gambler and the Mohegan Sun Casino isn't far enough way from my house! 馃榿

No that鈥檚 fine I compliment many sellers and their pieces. As long as your not working in cahoots it鈥檚 fine. I was just looking at a couple recent sales and wanted to congratulate both parties. I find two of the benrus particularly attractive. I like benrus, I gave a friend of mine one, he was going through a bad time I went over to help him out and he commented on how he liked it. I mailed it to him with a get well card. He was very pleased still wears it today. Nice package deal I鈥檓 sure it we鈥檒l go quick and Janice can get back to the black jack table.

Is it okay to sell duplicate watches in one listing?

This was addressed in an earlier post. You can put a baker鈥檚 dozen in one listing, as long as it is one price for the whole lot

Package sales rarely happens, so our noses automatically and collectively twitch when we see it.

maybe @janice&fred could pm me in advance of a next sale, just so I can help with the wording of the ad, not that I want to scoop the sale or anything 馃槜

Sorry to fill your listing @janice&fred with questions that does not revolve you but why do we have the rule for only one sale per listing?

I have some cheaper vintage watches I鈥檓 looking to sale but don鈥檛 feel like dirting down the sale section with several listings of 150$ watches. One listing with multiple watches would be perfect, don鈥檛 see to difference compared to sell them in a lot?

I'm really not qualified to speak for staff but my understanding is if it's 1 price for the bunch it's kinda considered 1 sale.

Do it! No one is going to care (in a negative way) and you鈥檒l probably get more interest than you expect.

This is correct.

If each watch has their own price tag they get their own listing. If you give the bunch one price, it鈥檚 one sale. But honestly, messaging a moderator is your best choice for clarification.

I think it's great the forum staff allows package deals like MWR and other forums. The members seem to enjoy these packages as they go quick plus it's fun to use these threads afterwards for commiserating and jokes 馃榿

I'm getting my inspiration for these quickie packages by reading that thread on recommended Ebay auction bargains and figured "heck I can beat those deals".

Well, that and I seem to be getting carried away with my Italo-American "spaccone" style of buying all the watches some hapless shop proprietor or vendor displays. "Looks like youse got some watches over here. I'll take 'em all and help ya out. Gimme a good number for the bunch." 馃榿

I am struggling to shake the feeling that @janice&fred are actually the eternal watch universe and that everything else, this forum and us befuddled members included, are merely fleeting celestial rocks bumbling through. Half their posts bend my mind and the other half seem to trigger virtual flash riots.
