I have that Elgin, one of my favorites.

The spider web watch is just the epitome of 50s coolness!

I'm surprised you didn't grab the lot. I figured it and the triangles would be calling to you.

I picked up a small lot last week (Timex 200 ft diver, Breitling Stopwatch, Waltham Auto with box, Bradley Mickey Mouse)

Timex needed a crown stem and it has an original Topic strap which is worth at least what I paid for the entire lot.
Waltham had loose dial screw that fell into the rotor, I added the NOW Waltham strap you see in the after pic.
Stop watch works and just needs a crystal and the Mickey works and needs a crown.

So far these should be a nice flip lot.

Let's jump in!

1966 Hamilton Dateline S-675 / 674 movement (non-automatic) I have included a photo of the case marking for the manufacturer and I do not recognize it. On Dan's blog his case has a "D" serial number and this one does not?

New for the photo library and it is a Champion bracelet

Nice one, Pat. That's the case mark of Wallace Silversmiths.

You know me all to well.

Already had this one, though.

Mo, I've been noticing some of those Timex divers: really cool looking.

Interesting: I've never seen a Wallace Silversmiths case mark before, although I have a Hamilton award Spectra to a Hamilton WS employee.
