Vintage men's wristwatch that was made in the 1930s. It is self winding and often called a Wig Wag. The watch winds itself by the movement sliding back and forth in the case and using this movement to wind the watch.  It needs a complete restoration and I will list all problems.

This is a very rare watch in poor condition. It needs a complete restoration. The movement will run for a few seconds if you shake it. The self winding mechanism seems to work, when you slide the weight back and forth the winding wheel turns. I think the back of the case was so worn that someone soldered a nickel patch on it. You will need new hands, a crystal, a crown , some screws for the movement, case restoration and dial restoration. The movement is marked Mars.

This is a classic Omega that is running great and looks good.  all original even the crystal is signed.  It has just been serviced and it is keeping perfect time. I wore this watch for a week after it was serviced to test it out.  It has good power reserve and never had to be hand wound. The date functions properly. It is quick-set date. No rotor rub. There is a little wear on the inside of the band, but none on the outside. The former owner removed one of the links in the band because it was too long.  Unless you have very large hands and wrists, this won't be a problem. The total length [circumference] of the watch and band are 7 7/8" with the buckle set to the longest position. Not a mint watch but a nice clean Omega in excellent condition. This is a real machine to wear on your wrist.  The dial is burgundy and prismatic, but that won't show in the photos.

This is a classic Ball wristwatch that is running great and looks good.
There is a tiny bit of rotor rub. The rotor does not rub the movement or the case, but there is a dust shield over the movement and the rotor rubs it a little bit [it makes a slight clank sound when you shake it].
I wore this watch everyday for 3 months. It keeps time within 15 seconds a day and it never needed to be wound once. It has been completely polished and detailed [after I was done wearing it].

Men's vintage chronograph watch from the 1950s or 60s. It is a windup Swiss watch with 1 jewel movement.  It is running and keeping good time, but it has not been serviced, so I am selling it as-is. The buttons start and stop the weep center second hand. This watch was not designed to zero the sweep hand.    It was made by Lord Nelson.  The case is chrome plated and it has a steel back. The dial is perfect. The crown is in excellent condition and the chrono buttons are also near mint. There is no wear on the case. It appears to have the original band on it. This watch is near mint and was not used much at all.  This watch is fresh out of a local estate.

Vintage men's Westclox wristwatch that is mint unused and comes in the original box. It has a chrome plate case and a steel back. I don't think this watch was ever used.  It has a 7 jewel Japan windup movement.  It has the original vinyl band and the box is marked Westclox Crown Jewel, meaning that this was one of their better models [their lower priced models had no jewels]. I wound the watch up and it has been keeping perfect time for a few hours. It may need to be serviced if you plan on using it everyday, so I am selling it as-is. $85.00
