Couple of new pick-ups - nothing fancy...

Post by Steve O. » Sat Oct 10, 2015 3:06 pm

Elgin Compressor style c. 1960's. Was able to locate an extra NOS case with correct thin resin bezel insert.

Bulova Oceanographer Snorkel c. 1971. One of my favorite vintages divers. On genuine Swiss Tropic with NOS signed buckle.

Big fun on the (relatively) cheap. Thanks for looking.
