The pictures here are clickable but if you are on dial up and
are still here after waiting for this page to load be warned the full sized
pictures are VERY large!
Most of these watches I have picked up on Ebay over the years.
Many of them have been rebuilt or had some kind of repair done after I received
them. Some still need a little repair but I only work on them when the mood
strikes me and time allows.
The Swiss Ebay Collection

My two 7750's
A Hamilton Khaki Field Auto Chronograph on the left,
A Movado Kingmatic Auto Chronograph on the right |
|
|
|
My T-Touch and the back of my Oniss submariner
You can see my Tissot T-Touch in the background (missing the "-" button)
In the foreground you can see the back of my Oniss submariner with the display back and the ETA auto movement clearly visable |
|
|
|
My Movado Kingmatic
Another Ebay find, Slightly used but still under warranty and again worth what I payed for it which was a lot less than sticker price. |
|
|
|
|
My Oniss (not ORIS)
Submariner model with presentation back so the nice gold ETA automatic movement is visable.
This watch is HUGE, its quite a bit larger than a R-lex Submariner so its much easier to read the lugs are 22mm and the stainless steel bracelet features nice solid end links too! This is one of my favorite Ebay finds and in my opinion one of the best budget swiss watches you can get for the money (usually under $200.00 US) |

My Hamilton Khaki Automatic!
Another Ebay find, didn't pay anywhere near retail sticker price, in fact I payed less than half the sticker price. Its slightly used but well worth what I payed. |

Again with the missing "-" button .. if i could figure out how to remove the movement I would fix it .. think I'm going to have to send it in though ..

Seiko and Citizen
Huge Seiko GLX and Citizen Ana-digi-temp |

My personal Favorite and daily wear watch
Seiko 200m diver with custom solid link band and diver deployant link in clasp the band is a 22mm streight end bracelet that has been "dremeled" to fit into the 22mm curved end links. This is the only way I know of to get a real 22mm solid link bracelet on the seiko since the advertised solid link bracelets are really 20mm attached to 22mm end links and its visably fugly! |

The Vintage Collection.
from left to right
I have rebuilt all of the movements in these except the new on on the far right.
My first watch, the 7a28.
The 7a38 same as the 7a28 but with day and date.
A blue faced 3803 and you can see even after I have "fixed" the day wheel several times I still have the snap ring on backwards so the day won't change right, argh!
A newer blue faced v657 just cuz I liked it. |
|
|
|
|
Invicta and Shark
A beat up Invicta quartz 200m new crystal but havent replaced the cyclops for the date yet (used to be my dads)
A Shark 200m just cuz I haven't seen one of these in the states and I was courious about the quatity .. don't turn it down if its a gift but don't spend any money on it! |
|
|
|
The Blue Casio's
Or should I say Citizens !
Casio doesnt make analog movements silly!
Yup both nice watches and the divers style is particularly nice for a throw away watch and its also a 200m model
I think Ill "sound" with the diver model on my next fishing trip just to see if it really will go 200m without hearing the "crack of death" |
