Super Rare! Seiko Advan 7019-7270 Faceted Crystal in MINT condition from 1973!!

I’m always critical of those who make a statement like.. “The nicest available”.. The best this or that.. But honestly, understand that this watch is from September of 1973, I can’t see there being a nicer example anywhere let alone a nicer example for sale. :

The only attribute keeping this from being a museum level piece is that the original bracelet, while really mint, only has enough links got about a 7.25 wrist. Of course no box and baby here. For those who feel the Facetted crystal…

FSOT- Time Arrow Benrus Type 2 homage

Really nicely done Benrus Trpe 2 homage.

Hand built to order in the US. “They” say it’s the most accurate homage in terms of dimensions. The case was developed with an original in hand for reference. 19mm lugs and all. The updates are a ceramic bezel insert and sapphire ctuystal being powdered by DG813 22 jewel movement. It makes some great noises when winding.. loud clutch. Decent lime-not seiko lume but better than most Doxas I’ve owned :)

Will ship on quality leather & canvas strap. I…

FSOT- IWC Pilot’s Edition Antoine De St Exupery 43mm Mens Watch IW377713

FSOT IWC Pilot’s Edition Antoine De St Exupery 43mm Mens Watch IW377713. Almost perfect in every way. I wear it on an aftermarket bracelet but the original IWC leather strap and buckle is almost perfect too. The sunburst brown dial is so sexy!

The watch is 43mm but wears very well. It has that wrist presence that an IWC “should” but has a nice curve to the lugs and shorter lug width allowing it to be worn comfortably by even folks like me who usually wear pieces 38-40mm on my sub 7″ wrist…

Seiko SKXA35 Bumble Bee w/ Original Malaysia Dial 7s26-0029

SKX Bumble Bee-Fairly collectable and rare nowadays. I believe this one dates to 1997. Close up of the dial to verify OEM dial, not replacement aftermarket. Lume still great (shocker) clean dial, bezel insert, and hands. Case looks great. Original Seiko wave strap with signed Seiko buckle. Keeping time within spec. I’m not aware of any service history. Winds and sets very smooth. Power reserve is great.

Watch only. No box/papers

Looking for $650.00 shipped. Not interested in trades at the…
