| Enicar Sherpa Jet | ||
 |
This is the Enicar "Sherpa Jet." What a great name for a watch! If you were going to Tibet or any exotic place for that matter - this was the watch for you! It's rugged, handsome, and made from durable stainless steel. I'd rather have this watch than the Rolex "Explorer" that Sir Edmund Hillary wore. Yep, It was Hillary that got the credit for summiting Everest but he couldn't have done it without a sherpa named Tenzig Norgay and just as Norgay augmented Hillary's summit, this explorer's watch will guide you throughout your trials and tribulations. The movement in this watch is a fine 24 jewel automatic that only requires you to strap it on and go! You need something reliable if you're on an adventure - or just living an adventurous life! The stainless steel case is in great condition and shows only the most modest signs of wear on the screw-down back! That "Sherpa" insignia on the back is still crisp and it means the watch was made (circa 1969) to endure the toughest conditions. Notice that it has two crowns and a red and black GMT hand. The second crown is for setting the inner bezel to your location so that the GMT hand will indicate the universal time in Greenwich. It also gives an indication of night and day due to the silver and black background color delineation. Another nice feature is the date window at the three o'clock position. With an automatic like this all you need to do is strap it on and start your day. The automatic rotor will keep this explorer's watch wound with your every move! The stainless steel band has a Enicar Logo marked deployment clasp for easy on and off. The silvered dial is near perfect and has luminous dots at each marker, and lunimous hands that really show off this gem! It can be yours! Our one year warranty for parts and labor means that you'll get the best quality available on the vintage market and that we will stand behind this excellent "Sherpa Jet"!

You just can't beat a stainless steel Omega Seamaster for every day wear! This one is simply gorgeous! The dial is original and has a mellow, nicely aged yellow patina! The 17 jewel movement in this watch is spotless - perhaps the best condition I have ever seen! This watch was lovingly cared for over the years as is evidenced by the nice patina on the dial. If a watch has been wet or abused the dial indicates this carelessness, unless its been refinished. In the case of this watch the original dial is still aging beautifully and the lustre of the patina confirms this fact. The dial is striking for another reason; it exhibits double "arrowhead" applied markers whose silver color mimics the stainless steel case as they stand proud of the dial surface. Not only does this watch look like the classic vintage timepiece it is, but it also performs like it did when it was new. This seventeen jewel movement has been carefully serviced and because its an automatic it is an easy one to use on a daily basis since all you have to do is strap it on and go. Once you rotate your wrist the automatic rotor oscillates and winds the mainspring. As long as you keep movin - the watch keeps groovin! If you stand still ..... so too , the time will!

| Bulova Spaceview | ||
 |
This was the coolest watch in the early 1970's! Not only was it the most technologically advanced watch, it was the most "modern" looking watch! The special feature of this Accutron, circa 1968, was the lack of a conventional dial that allowed you to view the technological tuning fork marvel inside! The markers for the hours were actually displayed on the inside of the plastic crystal. This crystal is original as made obvious by the fact that some of the centers of the circular markers have become transparent. The case is all stainless steel with the access to set and wind on the case back. The coils and the electronic tuning fork that were the foundation of this movement are clear for all to see and had quartz watches not been invented we would all be wearing Accutrons since they were the most accurate watches of their day! Put it up to your ear and you can hear it humming away! This is a real piece of watch making history since this was the first successful electronic tuning fork watch made for the general public! This is the best Accutron you can wear if you want to show off that amazing movement. It's a real conversation starter. We have, in our library, a copy of the original booklet that Bulova gave to jewelers to educate them on the modern marvels the Accutron held. The cover of this booklet has a dark starry sky above a drawing of the Bulova plant that is reminiscent of those Space-Age movies from the late 50's. Bulova obviously was appealing to those modern techies who are the early adopters of cool new technology. Remember we warranty all of our watches for a full year so you can buy on the internet without worry.

| Emperor Chronograph | ||
 |
You simply won't find a better deal on a vintage Chronograph! Look at this watch, the case is in mint condition and the movement is the lengendary 17 jewel Valjoux 7734. This is the exact same case that Omega used in the original "moon" watch. Perhaps Omega used a case jobber to make these cases and certain ones were produced only for them, while others were of a generic nature. This watch is like a generic version of the Omega Speedmaster Professional from the same era (circa 1970) for a lot less dough. The name on the striking blue dial is "Emperor". Although this is not a household name the watch has all the same components as the Omega. The dial is marked with a Tachymeter outer chapter while the inner chapter ring is parsed into second delineations. There is a date window at the 6 o'clock position and the seconds recorder is accented by a light blue color for the first 5 minutes. Everything about this watch is in mint condition and ready to give you a lifetime of excellent performance. This watch is a real sleeper, but remember, if you snooze you lose! We recently found some exceptional, like new, chronographs in Switzerland and this one was the cream of the crop! Our warranty will give you the assurance that this watch is just as we have represented it. We warranty all our timepieces for a full year for parts and labor although you won't need it with this one !

| Gallet Chronograph | ||
 |
Now this one is a real classic! Gallet was one of the foremost makers of chronographs, and the movement in this chronograph is a great example of the Swiss excellence from that era, circa 1948. The Excelsior 17 jewel is hard to beat! The movement is housed in a stainless steel case that is still crisp and clean. It measures 37mm in diameter by 45mm in length. Look at the case back - as usual it tells the story of a watch that was well cared for over it's lifetime! The dial on this one has been expertly refinished and looks just like it did when it was new. The green luminous hands and numerals complement the three register dial. There is a Tachymeter and a Telemeter scale on the concentric chapters as well as, constant seconds, recorded minutes, and recorded hours, subsidiary dials. Did this one see military service in WWII ? It wouldn't surprise me if this watch has "seen" a lot of Europe. This would have been the perfect watch for ordinance telemetry. It's hard to say at this point, but regardless, it was certainly used by someone who required the ability to time some activity with the utmost precision. You can create a whole new provenance for this this fine timepiece and give it a second life! Besides, we all need some kind of beauty on our arm! Our famous one year warranty ensures that the watch will preform just like new!
