[WTS] (Really) Final grad school sale - Everything really, really MUST go! Make me offers!
Hello r/WatchExchange, and welcome to what needs to be the last time I ever need to do a big group sale like this! As you can see, I still have too many watches. I'm also just days away from moving cross-country and going to grad school, and with that process costing only slightly less than your soul and firstborn child, I could use the extra cash. I want all of these **gone within the next few days**. As a result, **I have cut prices steeply, and will happily provide discounts for those who buy multiple watches.** I have lots of good feedback on here both as a buyer and a seller. Before I get into the listings, a few general notes. **For all prospective buyers:** If you're interested in anything here, feel free to send me a chat or PM. I will happily provide more photos and information if desired, including movement pics. **I will not respond to anything unless you leave a comment on this post first.** Sorry, have to be cautious. **Shipping:** All listed prices include standard USPS shipping in the CONUS. I have no issues shipping internationally or through a service other than USPS, but the difference in cost will be at buyer's expense. Please note that due to an extremely busy schedule, I may not be able to ship until a few days from now. **Condition:** Unless otherwise noted, I do not have the service history for a watch, but unless I say otherwise all watches are keeping time within a few minutes a day at last check. However, please note that due to lack of use and age, many of these watches could probably use a simple lubrication and cleaning, **and it is highly recommended that all vintage mechanical pieces be serviced for best long-term functionality.** I'll try to note if a watch is either in especially good or especially bad cosmetic condition, but please look at photos and ask if you'd like to see more. In general, figure these watches have been decently-well-cared-for, but also have been worn--most will present with small nicks here and there. Unfortunately my internet isn't really cooperating at the moment, so uploading to Imgur is proving difficult, but, again, I will happily send you photos of individual watches if you'd like. **Payment:** I will take payment through Zelle or PayPal F&F only--have had too many bad experiences with everything else. That it? I think that's it. Let's get into the listing. ~~**Revue Thommen Sport 30's Reissue - $300**~~ **SOLD** A super, super cool vintage-inspired stainless steel sport watch, of which less than a thousand were made. Has art deco sensibilities in terms of styling, but comes in a slightly more modern size which will appeal to those who like the look of vintage watches but don't like how small they usually are. Sits really nicely on the wrist, and comes with pictured stainless steel bracelet and some extra links. Bracelet has a few quick-adjust holes, and is extremely comfortable. Lume on this sucker is still bright as anything, and automatic movement is ticking away like a champ. Unfortunately, just never has gotten the wear it deserves. This is a screaming deal--cheapest sold examples I can find in this condition are listed at closer to $400, and most currently listings are $500+. **Lucerne jump hour watch - $70** Jump hour watches are just cool, in the end, and Lucerne's were pretty well known back in the day and are still quite collectible. This one doesn't feature the usual "DIGITAL" on the front underneath the manufacturer's logo, instead just saying "SWISS," which likely indicates this was one of the earlier iterations. Keeping terrific time, does have a few dings on the case, but is ultimately a solid chunk of metal, so should hold up just fine. Hours don't always line up quite perfectly--they're just a little too high--so if that bothers you, something to be aware of. Comes on pictured nylon strap with stainless steel buckle and loops, which is worth a fair bit on its own. **Waltham black square - $40** This is a really classy looking Waltham with a lot going on in a fairly unique package. Lovely glossy finish to the black dial, with nice, triangular angled hour markers which match wonderfully with the similarly-shaped hands. Really fun placement for the logo and text as well, and is in a really excellently-sized case which, because of the square shape, will work well on just about anybody's wrist. Will absolutely need a service, as it's pretty up and down in terms of timekeeping, but does tick. ~~**1990s Swatch "Knight of the Night" - $40**~~ **SOLD** No collection, in my opinion, would be truly complete without a Swatch at least passing through it at some point, and this is a great place to look. This Swatch was appropriately named, as it seems like if Batman wore a Swatch, this would be the one. Lume still works excellently, as does quickset date and day function. In virtually NOS condition, and comes on original strap. **Luch tuxedo dial - $40** Now known primarily for their one-hander watch, Luch is a Belarusan watchmaker (the only Belarusan watchmaker, in fact) who used to make quite tasteful dress watches. This tuxedo dial, with its Roman numeral hour markers and separate minute ring, is a great example. Needs to be serviced, as it currently won't wind. **Armitron quartz day-date - $10, or $5 with any other purchase** This has some nice heft to it, with a solid and pretty distinctive look, as well as having day and date functionality. Will need a new battery, comes with pictured adjustable bracelet.
