Hey Oppo, I have been looking for a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to go with my new driving gloves (which I realized I never posted here) and This is what I have come up with.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I have no idea if this is any good or if $176 is a good price. So I figured I would ask you all. Or if you don’t think this is a good option then maybe you want to buy me my dream Glycine Airman 46

Too bad the stitching on the leather doesn’t match the blue stitching in the GTO.

Interesting. Tuning fork movement?

For the eBay page

It uses Dynatron ESA movement developed from 1962. Inside you will find an electro-magnet and circuit board to swing the balance wheel and from there on is just like a mechanical watch but with just a different power source. The movement is featured on page 124 of Pieter Doensens famous “ Watch “ book.

I have no idea if it’s a good watch, but I like it.

I like it. It might be hard to repair though. Electronic watches parts are hard to find.

Hmm, that is a fair point. I’ll keep looking or saving for a watch I would rather have

Thanks, yeah I am passing this one cause parts will be hard to find if it needs repairs.

Start small and distinctive. Set your budget and look. Set your preferred type of movement and style. For example I like hand wonders with traditional dials and no rolex. . Let me know if you need more pointers.

I bought two vintage Seiko watches from watchesking2015 off ebay for ~$20 each w/ shipping. Lots of similar sellers in India and Pakistan who sell restored vintage watches for dirt cheap. Note expect about a month or so for shipping so its no Amazon prime. Image is one of the watches I bought. YMMV

Well right now I’d like to keep it under $300. I like a classic look or something strange, but not showy. I am definitely looking for something 60s-70s vintage. I could use many pointers.

As for movements I wouldn’t mind a manual or auto. I don’t think I’d like a battery operated atm.
