Here’s a new arrival for me. Really like it. Long shot but if anyone has a link for this JB Champion bracelet I would be keen to purchase.
Cheers
Brendon

·So it seems that most 70’s snorkels had lollipop seconds hands but I’ve seen some that are straight red or steel hands. I used to think they were replacements but in the Bulova ad above it appears that watch has a straight steel seconds hand. Does anybody know the story on these? Are these other hands legit?

early introduction / models had straight second sweep hands and the hour and minutes hands were also different .... watch in this advert is an early version / model with earlier handset used for the watch, the red " PYLON " second sweep hand [safety red as Bulova used to call them] were used on watches that were a first introduction or re introduction [existing model upgraded] of a model , they were used on the first off the production line / first batch, this of course does not apply to models that specifically used the RED PYLON [second sweep hand]... these spare parts [red second sweep hands] were also available to watch makers to buy and use ... it wouldn't be a far stretch that a watch maker bought and used them in their repairs as well

To all who are on the fence about buying any of these 666's and hunting for a bargain- buy the best you can find- even if you think it's too expensive (not stupidly priced, but on the high side of market). Don't dick around trying to get a project watch on the cheap. You WILL NOT find bezels, dials, hands for these watches- period. Just bite down hard and take it when you find a stunning one and you will never regret it.

·I've been looking for a devil diver, but eBay (as we all know) is full of landmines and completely unrealistic asking prices. I'm not proud to admit I've gotten into a few arguments with sellers on the 'Bay trying to get them to take a realistic and fair price, but alas, I guess what's fair is up to them. What's the fair price for a decent, wearable condition example? I just refuse to spend upwards of $1000 on a devil diver when $1000 can buy you a whole lot of watch in the vintage Omega market.
