Nice dress watch. I really like Eternas . I have a vintage from late 50s early 60s that is small but really pretty.

I saw that one. Would be a great addition to any collection. A watch brand with loads of history too. ;)

For those of you who are not familiar with Eterna, take a look at the five star logo and then look at the rotor bearing in the 2824 in the back shot... yes indeed ETA scooped up Eterna's movement technologoy at some point in time though I am not sure if Swatch group owns the Eterna brand today... At any rate The Eternamatic is the granddaddy of the ETA movement model line!

Great pickup and great piece of swiss watch history!

On wrists as we speak, the Hirsch Lizzard strap is really nice, and the SS strap is silky smooth. Best to describe it as "Butter over a Hot Biscuit"....like an arrow on a bow...very happy with the Trade "Guys".

Ken, I have to agree...the Bracelet is so silky smooth, I can not wait to get it sized and on wrist.  The Lizzard is a Chocolate Brown Hirsch.

I like tank styled vintage watches. Very genteel and elegant, not for the children. That eterna automatic is great. So often vintage tanks are crankers. The lizard Hirsch is a good "period" look for it too. Nice.

Thanks...again I have been looking for a  "tank" for awhile that was not a cranker.  I have a few Hammies that do not get enough wrist time...probably because they are crankers.

Very nice. It has a JLC Reverso look to it. I have been eyeing these tank-models lately. Looks great on that strap!
