This is quite trivial but something I have been enjoying once a week recently. I've noticed Ebay seller " holbensfinewatches" will list 5 or 6 vinatge watches within several minutes of each other on Ebay. 7 day auctions starting at .$99, no reserve. So I like to "tune in" and see the conclusion of the bidding each week. I search the seller, click on number of items for sale. They are then listed by close time, first closed at bottom of list. After the first one closes I just watch the next one on the list, etc., working bottom to top. Some interesting late bidding takes place. As the last watch closes seller begins to list next week's auctions so you can see what's up. They are nice vintage pieces at a range of prices and brands. Tonight's the auction end for the current lot of 5 pcs. First one ends at 10:48 pm ET. So for those that have nothing better to do, like me, you might find this an interesting interlude. It's almost as much fun as the Invicta Hour on Evine at 2:00am. . I have no connection to watches or seller whatsoever.

Thanks for the heads up. Some decent looking pieces up right now, but all too small for me. I’ve saved him as a seller and it said I’ll get email notifications of his future listings.

I’ve never eBayed, but I’ll keep an eye on him as well.
Thanks for posting!

I hope it's worth noting that this seller also sells a wide selection of straps. So if anyone is interested I'm sure you could select a strap of your choice to fit on any of his watches. While I'm here I may as well post a pic of another watch up this week for your enjoyment. "Mens Mint NOS 1940s Longines WITTNAUER 14K SOLID GOLD Watch & Box, Band, Papers" Flawless New Old Stock, Never Worn - Serviced & No Res! 39.5mm x 20mm Outstanding! NOS, original case and all!

Agreed priamo and carl - that's a sweet one and 38mm so it's even a good size compared to many of the others.
