Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Mad Cow- bought off the bay, a lucky snag. It was listed with a mispelled title, no box or papers, and a low starting price. Threw the seller an offer and he accepted. Watch arrived in perfect functioning condition, and needed a 1hr buffing and brushing job to get her looking new.
Stowa Seatime Prodiver- bought from SunnyK, great transaction. It came with a blue bezel, which I sold, and the stock bezel. I'm waiting for a Brown and Red bezel to arrive from Stowa. Still on the fence with this watch. Can't get excited about. Heavy solid watch, wonderful bracelet, but still a candidate for flipping.
Seiko 6138-0049- Bought off TZ from Bigwatchguy. Great transaction. The watch functions perfectly and keeps incredible time for its age. Resets flawlessly every time. The case needed a full refinishing and took a good 3 hrs to do. I'm really pleased with the end result, the case looks incredible. Touched up the hands, cleaned the dial, buffed the crystal. Waiting for an aftermarket bezel to arrive from HK, but might leave the OEM bezel on there for an authentic vintage look.
Fortis Cosmonaut GMT- arrived today, bought from TZ. Arrived in NIB condition. Despite my disappointing first experience with Fortis, I couldn't resist the look of this watch. So far I'm quite impressed. The crystal is non-existent. Incredible AR. The day-glo orange elements are too bright, a subtler orange would have been better.
