Yeah, that BRC could have been a contender. Cool case shape and the date at 12, interesting color and lots that I haven’t unpacked.

Actually true...the BRC was my first find for the challenge, but unfortunately ended before March. Have my eye on some others though. Consider these as warm-up!

Very jealous. Of all the watches I've seen posted, this one may tickle my fancy the most. Congrats

Should arrive Thursday and will scratch the itch I’ve had for this watch for a while. @ManOnTime was kind enough to offer this in the Pay it Forward thread. I’ll share pics when it gets here. Thanks again!

I don't care for the looks of tritium.
I am also not a big fan of gold tone.
But for some inexplicable reason, this Ball Trainmaster Legend really speaks to me.

And at the sale price with discount code, rakuten cash back, and another discount by paying via PayPal, it was too hard to resist.

I can always return it if I change my mind....

Two clean looking Vostok Komandirskes. Listed for $10 opening bid with make an offer enabled. I offered $15 and it was accepted. $20 shipped for two Komandirskes is not bad at all. As a bonus, the leather strap has an inset picture of Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space. It isn’t my thing, but someone over on the Vostok modding thread at WUS will probably dig it for one of their space related mods.

Both are marked as Soviet era, so that is pretty cool. If they are working, then they are destined for modification.

Snagged this parts lot of Albas for the minimum coming to $15 shipped.

These appear to be mainly stainless cases, probably around 36mm. The prize is the full lume Titanium jobber w/200m WR. Looking forward to getting this one up and running and being an upgrade to my Lorus full lume dial. These go for ~$80-$110 the last time I checked.

You sir are officially an eBay lots specialist! Full lume, titanium, and a great size is well done. I need to take a class from you and Watchapalooza on the eBay finds.

Thanks. I actually just looked the watch up and there are a handful of new ones up for ~$200. One has sold for that recently and another on a bracelet sold for ~$80. At any rate, if I can get it going it will be a really great deal with lots of quality modding stock with which to play.
