    Found these in the case at a local vintage store I hadn't browsed before today:

    Benrus.jpg Watch Trio.jpg Ham.jpg G-P.jpg

    The shopkeep is holding them overnight for me. The Hamilton and the Benrus both need a full service, but the Girard Perregaux seemed surprisingly on point. Sorry I couldn't get any back-off movement pics, or more pics in general yet.

    What do you guys think? The only one I'm sort of on the fence about is the Benrus just stylistically, but... :whistling:

    The GP is from 1950’s in nice condition and easily worth the price. However, the crown looks too big for the case, that will need to be addressed.

    The Hamilton is later, still nice, but after a service, you will have more into it than value.

    Benrus just isn’t collectible enough to warrant price or service.

    Just my opinion. Others may differ.

    The GP is my primary interest; but both it and the Hamilton are inexpensive enough to give a chance. The Benrus....ehhhh.
