What vintage watches have you picked up for less than US$100?

BWC for 75€ - at the time, that was around $85 I think.

Wow, that Adanac Rally Diver 🙌🤩!

I love Canada spelled backwards, it adds a level of coolness 🤓😎.

All of these I picked up for less than $100USD. I will confess...all of these where sold for a nice profit 😅.

Out of all of them, I miss my Tissot SEASTAR 😊.

I never clued in that it was Canada spelled backwards now I want to find one

They mostly made military watches - they are part of Marathon - which is a much more familiar watch brand in the military watch space.

I did a little googling after I saw it nice find for under $100

Been having some fun in the vintage digital watch market.

Seiko

Citizen

Texas Instruments

And of course, Casio

This is what I love about watch collecting - there are so many avenues to explore and it is something everyone can share in regardless of economic status.

It's great getting to see what each other is passionate about.

Thanks for contributing to the dialogue!

If it's not a secret recipe from you 😁 where did you find an Omega Electronic for less than a 100?? Good catch! 💪🏻

1950s Stowa with a manual wind caliber from Laco inside. The case is made out of laminated gold. It's a bit too small for me at 32mm, but I still like the numerals and case. Less than 100€, Ebay purchase from a German seller. 

I agree that's a fantastic find for less than 100. I picked up a mint constellation from a dealer in Albania, but it cost me $400. I thought I was getting an amazing deal, yours is beyond better.

I still love this one though - it's good fun to listen to the humming of the tuning fork.

Thanks for sharing - yes you can really find some great value in the sub 34mm range. Most are too small for my wrist, but I enjoy collecting them anyway. Nice pickup and great price for Stowa.

That OSCO looks great - I found this item about OSCO on WUS:

"OSCO is Otto Schlund & Co. KG , wristwatches, Schwenningen (Black Forest), Germany. Osco Parat is one of their models (mail order, Walmart like stores). They went out of business under not so positive circumstances, but this is another story."

Apparently there are more OSCOs out there in NOS condition. I'll have to see if I can find one.

Beautiful 👌🏻

Thanks man! 

So great that I get to tell my story 😃!

These picture were taken the 24 September 2019. My wife and I where volunteering in rural Central America Nicaragua and passed through a city called Esteli. We stoped to get snacks and right beside there was a thrifty "jewelery store". Very shady 😂.

I walked in and from the dusty display case jumped at me this Omega f300 😳. I couldn't believe my trained eyes 🤣🤯. 

I held back my exitement and asked the guy if I could see the watch. I even asked him to open the case back. Everything including the bracelet was original to the watch. 

He wanted $85USD, I bargained for $65USD ⌚🎉.

Great story! It's cool to hear a story about person-to-person sales in this day/age of everything being done online. Thanks for sharing.

Cool story! Well done! 💪🏻

A few really cheap snags, during my vintage period, which lasted a few week….

Nice work! Love the vintage Certina. Thanks for sharing.

On my radar is a Bulova Accutron or ESA 9162 piece. I want a hummer.
