I love the fleamarket!!! I snagged a Longines Admiral watch for $5. Automatic. Day/Date. And it works!!!! 10K goldfilled and the original Speidel band. Its all stock. In the case, with the paperwork. It's a 1972 or earlier. I know this because, inside the velvet watch holder it says: Official Timer Olympic Games Munich 1972. Here's where I need help. Is there anyone out there, near Seattle if possible, that has a camera capable of taking real clean close-up shots? I would mail it to you postage paid boths ways for a bunch of real nice pictures. My eye isn't good enough nor is my camera to do this watch justice. I may not sell it but if I do, I need real good pictures. Thanks, in advance.

Originally posted by fettI have been doing my research. These watches were made for two years, 72-74. They have a unique movement, in-house Longines. Parts are not available anymore. You are a watch guy. If I decide to sell it, do you think it would be OK to steal that guy's pictures with pics of mine? This watch is either worth quite of few bucks or not. What do you think?

Thanks Mike. I have been looking on E-Bay and I haven't seen anything like it. This watch is in excellent condition. I'll just wear it and enjoy the bling until I see one pop up. Then I might get an idea of what it is worth. Box, papers and stock. God, I love the fleamarket.I am a true ass set to this board.

Those are good watches...I used to do a great deal of vintage watch collecting. It really was amazing what you could buy for very little...not like guitars at all. You could buy something like a vintage Hamilton or Illinois and pop it open to reveal a movement as good and as elaborately decorated as a modern Lang or the such. Gold chantons, swan's head regulators, everthing pearlaged, angled, jeweled to the hilt...just amazing...gold trains, etc. etc. Movements like that cost tens of thousands now....
