Also this. The seller just dropped the price by $200. I would jump on it, but I’m overspent. No watch budget right now. But this is a great price for this case. I would try to take the quartz off the dial and put an eta auto into it. This case would take one no problem.

Re: Interesting eBay Auctions
I was watching this and forgot about it. Not a bad little watch for the final price
Was titled “Fairchild Semiconductor Watch” when it is actually a vintage Hamilton Automatic in a Fairchild Box.

Re: Interesting eBay Auctions
Is this a Rolex movement? Rolex made watches for Eatons Canada back in the day. They sold under the name Birkdale. Figured someone might like this.

If this is the case, pass it although it is such a beautiful movement.
It has a 1.0 mm stem (no adapters abailable) and a very low CP/HW. Very difficult to use for a build.

Well, you can always rethread it to 0,9 mm and use adapter...hako wrote: ↑April 4th, 2020, 2:41 amThis looks to me like a Cyma/Tavannes movement.binbin wrote: ↑April 4th, 2020, 1:43 am Is this a Rolex movement?

Re: Interesting eBay Auctions
I wasn't sure on this one. Haven't seen this model before.
I have picked up a couple Birkdales that had Rolex movements in them.

Re: Interesting eBay Auctions
If I look at the serial partially hidden under the balance it looks like this caliber:

This is the larger version and IIRC has also a more common stem diameter. If you I tend a single piece dial not thicker than 0.4 and your hands, this may work out wit a little bit of effort.
