Instagram account: vintagewatchfinds_on_ebay

I'm playing around with a new Instagram account. The theme for the account is to present interesting watches found on eBay. Primarily watches that live up to the criteria of being: Large, vintage and affordable. Hopefully you'll enjoy the stories and maybe find some inspiration for your next watch buy. Find some posts below and remember to follow the account on Instagram!





Is this the most interesting and best looking chronograph for sale at eBay at the moment? I think it is fantastic with the all red design and it seems to be in impeccable condition. It even has an original Tropic strap in matching burgundy. The size is an impressive 42.5 mm wide and 45 mm long. It is powered by a classic manual-wound Landeron 149. The brand is a “mystery” Vanroy. It is not unusual to find vintage Vanroy watches but nobody seems to know who was behind the brand and made the watches. Considering the unknown brand the asking price at more than 1000 euro is a little bit steep though. eBay seller: principioedonistico Picture from eBay #vanroy #landeron #chronograph #vintagewatch #vintagediver #vintagewatches #ebayfinds #largevintagewatches #watchfam #watchcollector #watchesofinstagram #1970s

Seiko 6138-0017 from 1974 equipped with a new bracelet from Uncle Seiko. The watch is 44 mm wide, 46.2 mm lug to lug and 15.8 mm thick. These old automatic chronographs from Seiko has quite some heft and are really thick but that is a part of the charm. Seiko 6138-00XX are nicknamed “UFO” for obvious reasons. It has also been called “Yachtman”. This term was used for not so obvious reasons by one american distributor (see the ad in image 2). Others call it “Big eye, Small eye” because of the different size subdials. This is my own watch. So many of these have been refurbished with a new dial, hands or bezel. I have really tried to find an original untouched specimen. If you are interested in knowing more about the UFO you should look up the comprehensive article on VintageWatchInc.com. Here you can also see that the UFO has been worn by legend Jean-Paul Belmondo! . #seiko #seiko6138 #chronograph #vintagewatch #vintagediver #vintagewatches #ebayfinds #largevintagewatches #watchfam #watchcollector #watchesofinstagram #1970s #uncleseiko

I like this one. Jump hour watches were the essence of “modern” in the beginning of the 1970s. Mechanical watches with digital display had been known since the 1880s (think IWC Pallweber), but came totally in fashion some 90 years later, but only for a few years before quartz digital watches took over. This is a Buler Super-Nova with an unsual name “Tanivann” on the dial. Never heard of that brand? Me neither. Not even listed in Mikrolisk. But it is fun, 42 mm wide, has a steel case with the original brushing on the top surfaces and polished sides. And it is sold for just 99 euro. . eBay seller: leonius_it Ends 2 Feb 2020 Picture from eBay #buler #bulersupernova #tanivann #jumphour #bargain #wristporn #rolex #vintagewatch #vintagediver #vintagewatches #ebayfinds #largevintagewatches #watchfam #watchcollector #watchesofinstagram #1970s

1970s goodness. Bright colours, bold layout, large chunky watchcase (41 mm wide). This chrono is a Pallas Para equipped with a Valjoux 7733. Pallas was (is?) a watch cooperative in Pforzheim in south Germany. This model is from the watchmaker Paul Raff (Para). Other members of the cooperative were eg Walter Storz (Stowa) and Otto Epple (Eppo). Many of the parts of this watch - like the case and bezel - can be found in other watches from the time. My guess is that this watch was made from parts bought from various producers and then assembled by Para. I am in no way connected to the seller. I just like the watch! eBay seller: sscosty Ends 1 Feb 2020 #pallas #pallaspara #valjoux #valjoux7733 #chronograph #vintagewatch #vintagewatches #ebayfinds #largevintagewatches #watchfam #watchcollector #1970sfashion
