Are they worth this kind of money or hyped dog dung? 

 

[Coq de Combat]

  After all this chatter and your nice link I bet this one does not go for the bid opening

 Congrats on a very nice aquisition

Thank you my friend. 

 
I don't know, it's one of those things, if you really want it you have to bid for it to see if you win it. I had about 1 day left on the auction, and I was the only one who bid on it. I reckon Wengers aren't all that popular, or something. Maybe I was just lucky.

From what I can tell, mostly the latter. I've liked a lot of their vintage mechanical pieces, but from what I understand (and please correct me if I'm wrong) they are buying $20 ETA quartz movements for these, then just trumping them up. You can get better watches for less.

  Today's watch. A 1954 Bulova 23J "Self-winder" with a black sunburst dial, scalloped case, and sculpted lugs. I like her. 
 

 
 
Wow…Wow…Wow!!!
 
Please let me know if you ever consider selling 

 

[immtbiker]

   
I hope you have spent at least as much helping the needful as you have buying those watches.

Please (moderator hat put on), no talk about politics, religion, and moral values here at Head-Fi.
 
This, as with most hobby forums, is the wrong venue to confront members about their spending ways. We might as well close up shop
and go birdwatching (which is nice, too).

THX Liam, I think that kind of money would be much better spent on the Wenger Sea Force with enough left over to get the Stuhrling (if your going to buy a less expensive Swiss Quartz Movement) and several nice cigars

That's just wrong immtbiker, I never even thought to ask Liam if he would consider selling that beauty the first time he posted it

 LOL For me that 23J is one of the classiest pieces I've seen posted out here, not the most expensive but very classy not to mention

Thanks! I expect you'll have a long wait. So far, she's a keeper.

Is that the theme song from "Friends" I'm hearing in the background

  Sorry, should've said it was on ebay, but I checked the seller and it seems kosher to me. They have already shipped it, and only time will tell if it's a fake or not (do they even fake Wenger? probably better to assume that they do, but still... a bit of an obscure brand to counterfeit imho). I think not, they have a good rep and it seems that they are serious jewelry/watch salespeople.
 
This is an ad for a Sea Force they have on sale right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENTS-250-WENGER-YELLOW-SEA-FORCE-0641-101-OUTSIDE-MAGAZINE-WATCH-OF-YEAR-/321565572530?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item4adecd3db2 
 
It was a closeout, however, I was the only bidder on my auction and they have it Buy It Now for $129. 

 
Thanks for the link. I'm keeping an eye on the listing.

Nope, just something I picked up when working for the army. Never seen Friends, BTW.

No problem, I was razzing immtbiker about those Moderator comments you posted

 It's all good

 

[immtbiker]

Amazon has multiple color choices of the Wenger for ~ $150. Still pretty good price for a 660' Swiss Made watch!

If you like the look, you might want to consider a Seiko cocktail time, beautifull automatic for a very decent price.
