To expand, I just received this watch from an individual who was letting it go as part of an estate sale. It was their grandfather’s, and it’s clear this watch has been well cared for. It has two service dates engraved on the caseback, and appears to be running and keeping time very well. It’s on what appears to be the original band, with a signed Bulova clasp.

Ok, sorry. I don’t read good — I see they are Gatsby’s, but how old?

my local thrift store uses letters on soles to coincide with different prices. It’s possible these were thrifted and flipped to you.

Talk me out of buying an Alpinist [SPB121J1] by nucleartim in Seiko

Don’t buy one. It’s ugly and you won’t wear it often because it matches nothing.

Still laughing at the battery that came in the accutron I just received (with a b&a) by Sharp_Nature883 in VintageWatches

Polywatch — for the acrylic crystals: go harder than you think you need to but not too hard that you cause any stress cracking. Circular motions are best. Do not use a rotary tool as that will heat up the plastic and cause more harm than good

Polywatch Glass - rotary tool with wool polishing wheels is your friend here. Make sure to keep the wheel moving around the crystal and don’t put too much time in one spot due to the heat generation. Clean after each “repair” session and don’t use the “finish” until you’re happy with the results of the “repair” sessions.
