Ya gotta love a good win on Da Bay!

And this was a beaut!
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320417540481

A Glashutte, a Felca (running!), an Omega handwind MVT and potentialy a 7750 to boot! All for the princly sum of 103USD
Think I'll keep the Glashutte and restore the Felca and flick it a what should still be a tidy profit. It just remains to see what is in that old chrono and WTF the Omega is.

The seller put it all in "Bulk lots" and spelt Glashutte "Glashbutte" so it didn't turn up in searches. The Glashutte is pontentialy a 400USD+ watch, the Felca at least a cpl of hundred. It realy pays to look every where!

Bravo TB! I love these stories!

 

[LHOOQ]

Wow, you can really pick 'em! Every one of these is a winner, in my eyes, but I wish I had that Glashbutte!

Yep, 7750 or not that big ass chrono may prove just a little too nice/different to be striped out. All depends on the state of the dial. I'm a big softie at heart and can't bring myself to wreck a watch for the MVT. Never seen one before. Anyone else got anything on Mardas?

I'm thinking a nice dark brown crock strap for the Glashutte. Gen croc of cause, no imitation for that baby! Fortunatly Offshore is in GZ right now . . .


And I forgot to mention the other win today was two gen MKII speedy dials for AUD17!
Damn I had a good bay day

You ain't the only one. Complete blank with google. The guy can't spell so I tried "Marca" too, no luck there either. Marca can meen performance in Spanish and is March in Polish so I'm leaning towards Marca. Either way there is sweet FA about it anywhere. It may require a post at TZ to solve the mystery unless my watchsmith knows.

The chrono is quartz...and that is in fact a genuine "Glashbutte" a little known Bulgarian brand you can pick up for pennies...

































Just joking Col ... nice pick-up... :wink:

 

[trailboss99]

Very funny monkeyface. The moonphase is a quartz whick is why it has not been discussed.
Still no ideas on the chrono anyone?
