Just in, a BMBY 6309 with vanilla lume from 1978: That ugly Citizen strap has to go, of course. That's a beauty Jonas! I did wonder what you were funding with your sales... Thanks Phil - thankfully this one from Mike Mounce wasn't too expensive. I just HAD to get it, as it's from my birth month... I'm offloading watches because it's been too much, really. I am aiming for the one watch box of 24 pieces... (let's see how this turns out, )

Found a stainless example w/an oem bracelet for the NO$9 collection. Bracelet is said to be short though 6.5" though it looks like there are many links left on the one side. I have a Gold Tone example but would love to make the set an all Stainless collection...There are a few I've never seen a stainless example of. Here's a 7009-5049 December of '76. ...This one the Crystal should clean up nicely...

Back on a roll. Came across this with the original bracelet, while I gave more than normal, I figured the OEM bracelet was worth the premium. 7009-8049 which I've examples of already, just not w/the oem. (sellers pic)

Following in bertnet footsteps I just scored a DEADSTOCK Flyback 7015-8000 off a Japanese Auction Site. Crazy, auction closed early this morning... I was the only one to bid and snapped it up for a song. I do know these wear small... but wanted one example of this reference for the collection. Win.

Following Todd’s footsteps today I landed this almost NOS 6139 Speedtimer off a Japanese Auction 😎 Score 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I'm starting to think you've been robbing banks on all of your trips! Another beauty, well done on a great score again!

Has anyone ever bought a clapped out dial just to prise off the indices to fix another dial?

Not as interesting as a lot of the latest ones listed here but I've been after one of these for a long while and refused to pay the inflated prices. Hopefully an easy fix, if not a movement transplant will. Attachments:
