WOW... This is not the sort of thing that happens everyday. A client of mine from work,was interested in my Benrus 3 Star watch. We went for a short walk and grabbed a cup of java. He was willing to buy the watch from me to add to his collection. We discussed about it in short detail. In the end he wound up with the watch and I'm $275 richer. Not bad for a watch I paid $20 for. I have my sights fixed on a 1965 Movado Sub Sea Tempo-Matic Caliber 608. 17 Jewels with date calender. Case Size is 34 mm X 41 mm in length. The price: $185 To Be Continued... Cheers, Simon

Here is the newly arrived Movado Tempo-Matic Caliber 608. This self-winder is an early model that dates to about 1964 and it's the rare 17 Jewel ETA 2472 movement. The later models of this watch had the 25 Jewel movement,that was shared by the Rolex Tudor of the same period.

Thanks Tony. The Movado Sub Sea Tempo-Matic is identical in size to the Omega Seamaster Deville from the same era.

Good news, There maybe a 25 Jewel version of the same Movado,in the near future. I'm stoked if that's the case, that means I own both versions... Only means one thing: YIPPEE
