L'annuncio è in Inglese. Traducilo in italiano?
I've decided to sell some pieces that I haven't worn on my wrist in a long time. It's a shame to let them sit idle when they could bring joy to someone else.
The watches are located in Prague, the Czech republic. Shipping costs are not included in the price of the watch. Don't hesitate to contact me, we will surely come to an agreement. I would prefer an EU deal however I am able to send overseas if the buyer pays the cost of shipping.
I accept payments via Paypal (we will discuss the fees), Revolut or bank transfer.
I have lot of feedback here as a buyer and the seller too, see: https://www.watchuseek.com/search/8185217/?q=andyaaron&o=relevance
Now about the watches themselves:
Orient Mako Pepsi
In my opinion, the essence of Orient divers, from a time when, thanks to their two crowns, they had their unique identity and were not "ordinary" divers as they are today. My piece is also interesting in that the original mineral has been replaced with a sapphire with colorless AR. Box and bracelet link available. Of course, they are no longer under warranty. Otherwise, they are in overall excellent condition, having undergone a complete service at a watchmaker's in 2021. Wear is slightly visible on the bezel, some hairline scratches here and there.
Orient Bambino v2 MK2
As the name suggests, this is the second version of the popular model, with Roman numerals, white dial, rose gold hands and indices. The MK2 version indicates that it is a model with a new movement that features manual winding and hacking. I have worn the watch minimally and it is in very good condition. The only flaw is a scratch on the mineral glass above the index 1. Due to the domed shape of the glass, it is only visible from certain angles and under close inspection. When worn, you won't even notice it, or you don't have to be afraid to add more scratches. The price includes the box and an original unworn strap (the one in the pictures is non-original and I will keep it).
Casio MD-703
A watch from the late eighties and early nineties. It's like a cross between a Seiko turtle and an Arnie, experts call this type of watch a "pumpkin" ;-) When you can find them in good condition, they are a steal. My version has a white dial, but it has patinated over time. I don't know if it's due to water or sun exposure, but it's definitely vintage. In April 2021, they went through service - new battery was placed, new gaskets and a pressure test was performed, so the watch is ready for everyday use. I have worn them minimally and have never taken them into water. The watch is made of metal, so no plastic junk, as is customary today. They are a robust yet very wearable watch.
Innovative time 1000M
Another eighties piece, this time a copy of the now legendary and almost unobtainable Citizen 1300M. Information about them is hard to come by, when they are for sale somewhere, they are gone in no time and at different prices again. The case is steel and, although it doesn't look like it, it's quite small. Anyone expecting a large watch may be disappointed. Ideal for people with wrists between 16 and 18 cm. The lug width is 20mm, I don't know exactly what movement is in them. In May 2024, the watch had the battery replaced, gaskets replaced and pressure tested performed, so they are ready for summer adventures.
Chinese pilot watch Hruodland 42mm
Let's not lie, there are countless B-Uhr type watches. In this case, however, the Chinese did it quite dogmatically and copied the case from Laco. The size is 42mm, lug width is 20mm. It is quite comfortable to wear on a 17cm wrist, but I would not recommend it for a smaller wrist. WR is 100m, screw-down crown. The crystal is sapphire, the movement is a Chinese clone of the ETA PT-5000. The movement surprised me very pleasantly and runs like a watch, about 5s plus. The overall workmanship is very well done, as the Chinese are already good at this, see San Martin for example. The reason for selling this is that I wanted to try this type of case and I plan to buy Laco now instead.
