Rich.

Nice Omega, 550 movement, a "De Ville", no less!

Year?

Crown, original?

The Benrus is quite spectacular! Nice Art Deco case. Year?

William, the "Glendale" is positively charming. I agree "small but sweet!"

Timely regards.

Roy.

Roy,
I am not positive about the year on the watches. The Benrus is a right angle case drivers watch I guess shortly after WWII. The Omega is late 1950s early 60s however the case design was made later as well and I do not have the information to exactly date it. Both watches have original marked crowns. I plan to put the Benrus on eBay this evening with a reserve of $195.00. The Omega may already have a home but that is not set in stone yet.

A Bulova quartz chrono today. Seconds and minutes count by two separate hands on the center shaft, tenth seconds on right hand register, hours on the left hand one, and regular seconds on the bottom. This has a very handy feature, pull the crown out to the first stop and the hour hand can be set forward or backward with no influence on the minute and second time keeping; great for changing to and from DST or changing time zones.

Here's one that has almost too much bling bling, rose gf Lord Elgin with moveable lugs and matching rose gf band. Lots of glitter in bright sunlight.
