As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Bought this for the $35 field challenge (so it was cheap)but it doesn’t quite fit the criteria..... but I love it, mechanism seems perfect, lost 20 seconds over 24 hours and hasn’t needed winding!!!

Nice watch! Likely an A Schild inside....if it’s like the two Nivada I own, you can probably regulate to within =/- 10s. Workhorses...

Here's a Glycine Luminous World Automatic eta 2472, up for auction at Catawiki, with a luminous world map seen from the North pole. I think it's a stunner!
You're really op top of the world with this one.... except that it's only 30 mm across.
Now if only someone would do a 39mm homage watch....I'd be in regardless the movement.

Not a watch, but my favorite vintage travel alarm.
It's somewhat unusual with the day and date features. They switch over at midnight, and when setting it up they can be independently set with little levers on the side of the case.

This 42 mm diver with faceted glass was up for auction on Catawiki yesterday. A fun and unusual watch from Ricoh, only known by me for office machines and camera's.

Here's an interesting one I'd never seen until today. A 1956 Universal Geneve reference 100110. Found HERE on timeline.watch, which is a cool site worth scrolling through.

Noticed on that listing it has a bumper movement.
