Latest and Greatest Catch - Continuous thread....

[LEDNutz]

This is the latest addition to my meager collection

[bucko170]

Cool watch

It's pleasing to see it was snapped up by someone who is going to appreciate it, nothing wrong with a bargain price, I always look for them

Great catch

Well, if this is to be a continuous thread, then someone else better contribute !
How do you like this one:

When it arrived, the box seemed rather heavy. To my surprise, when it arrived, there were 2 identical watches The non-sensical spiel at the bottom of the auction must've meant there was an additional watch. The featured watch is in really nice condition, the extra one has a cracked crystal and mangled clasp. I've fixed up one module, which works perfectly, the other works when heated.

Rgds.

This Omega LCD is a NICE CATCH! 2 for a low price. Bravo Charger105!
Please share some pics of this baby up-and-running.

Charger,

Very nice watch, and a 2 watch deal to boot.

Has anyone else land a keeper with a little bit of bait If so, please share.

Well,

Since this is supposed to be a continuous thread....
I thought i'd show you my latest purchase.
After buying a nice gold jaz derby swissonic from ebay..
I had followed this watch for almost a year now with it's "buy now" price.

Then finally he put it at auction, i got it for maybe 1/3th of the buy it now price..YAY!!!

But then the buy was cancelled because he misplaced the item....ACK!!!
Or was it? *shrugs*...i may never know but i have my thoughts.
He has some others for sale right now, i hope he does not misplace those
This one is SS and might not be the nicest out there but should be fully functional....i can't wait to get it.

Here is a picture.



Today i also got another nice catch in my mail....and it's really nice.
The Advance Sideview LED... and it' looks better in real then i ever imagined.




As suspected the tiny pits it has on the pictures do not stand out as much when viewed through my blue eyes
Pictures do tend to magnify these things.

Cesar - nice rarer piece. Yeah, photos sometimes show too much beyond what the eyes can normally see.

Derby Swisssonice sideview is not known for being very sturdy-dependable. But if you get one and it fails, it makes a cool case for a Bulova driver's watch module. My doing, at customer's request..crazy.

[Cesar]

Well i must admit that does not look at all bad.
I kinda like it, of course i hope i won't need to do that.
But it makes a good alternative.

[Kasper]

i think they are cool those Jazz Derby's, but then again..where does my collection ends if i start collecting those also and other jumpers.
I have to draw a line somewhere
But nice sideview led.

[Cesar]

Thanks Kasper, i know what you mean.
There are so many nice watches to choose from!!!
That is why i mostly collect sideview LED/Jump Hour/LCD watches.
I think i almost have every kind now...the Jaz Derby Swissonic
kinda made it complete.
Now i have to think about the money...*shows empty pockets* lol
Then again..your last pyjama does not have pockets.
Sometimes i buy some nice tickers aswell.
Such as the Zodiac Killers watch...after i saw the movie
Omega Rolex and Breitling might have "the name"
But they never inspired a serial killer...
Also a triple date moonphase Zodiac....
always wanted one with a moonphase indication.




Looks great now i've added a nice black leather strap.

[Cesar]

I got my SS Jaz Derby Swissonic today.
It is absolutelly gorgeous i polished it up a little and it keeps good time.

And best of all.

It came in it's original box.!!!... :

One thing that i did not expect, for i would have thought
that the guy that had put it up for sale would have placed
pictures of it's original box when posting it for sale.

So that was a wonderful surprise when i opened the mailbox.

My latest bargain win

[Kasper]

damn, nice catch..been looking for that one for a while.

[Ade51]

Well done, I was watching this one with 10 minutes to go but got distracted and forgot to bid so I'm glad it's gone to a forum member. Great price.

[fronzelneekburm]

I think my best catch ever was a Breitling Navitimer 9106 LED in working condition for 330 Euro. Needless to say that i sold it for roughly 4 times the price.

Recently i bought a Longines with that damn rare ESA 937681 module. Don't like the watch, but i needed the module for my spare Longines LED/Analog.
