Sorry, was in a rush. It was a complete watch, but I forgot to take a pic in housing. Glass was in great condition as was housing (but bottom had 3 engraved initials). Band was nothing special for sure. Wasn’t sure if movement was anything as it didn’t have a cal listed.

I don't usually find hats. But when I do, they're mint condition Churchill Panamas.

FTFY

 

[carreragt7]

Oh, this has a cool patina.

Functional interior? Check.

What brand is it? Unmarked exterior. Let’s look inside...

Spoiler

Paperwork, lock combo?
Price? $2.99? I guess I’ll take it, if I have to.

That changes things a bit.... did you try winding it to see if it worked at all? If it works and you like it, I'd try to get more info on the model and search a bit more...not a clear choice, especially at that price point.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

I need to get back into posting again (holy ****, finally can add multiple photos!), so here’s a pop from last week.

Glad to see you back! Not joking, I was just about to ask whether you were okay as I saw you hadn’t posted since February.

Oh, and cool find!

View attachment 996120 View attachment 996121 Watch guys, anything special? Priced at $179...

Here’s the thing. It’s a nice watch, and the price is good. I can’t tell you the model or date, but it’s resale value is likely about 2-3x what the price is. HOWEVER, given the age, even if it works perfectly, it still needs a service, and a vintage omega like that will start at minimum like $350 if you can find a competent watchmaker. If you have to send it to omega you’re talking minimum $500ish. Depending on your view it may be worth it. I’d probably pick it up at that price, but I’m a watch guy.
If you’re looking for ROI, you’ll likely be disappointed. Also, for a watch this old, there’s very little value in the strap unless it’s the original bracelet, and even then maybe not much. However, it appears as though the band you found may be elephant skin, so at least novelty factor?
If you want it for you and can sink some $$$ into it, it’s a great piece.

Edit- looks like I’m mixing two posts, it’s not an elephant band

Can anyone read the designer label on this shirt tail tag? The neck tag is very faint but is included for reference. Looks like “Massimo...?” Aloa?

Oh thanks concealed...found a similar shirt on Ebay. Not a find but a gimme in a Linda shirt lot with other notables.
