Welcome and thanks for visiting my about me page on eBay!  Please be sure to add this page to your "bookmarks" so you can find it in the future.  

My background:  I am an active member of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC) since 1988 and the Society for Military Horologists.  Some of my watches and bands have appeared in movies such as Hart's War with Bruce Willis and Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks.  I've been using Ebay since 1997 to buy pieces for my collection as well as sell items I no longer wish to own.   

Quality:  I strive to accurately grade all pieces and to describe any detracting features that would concern me as a collector. There is a five day return privilege on all pieces I sell.  I only request that returns be as well packed and in the same condition as originally sent by me.


Now Buying: I collect navigational & military timepieces and am always interested in marine chronometers, deck watches, military timepieces, unique watches, and navigational instruments to add to my collection.  I am currently seeking nice examples of chronometers, clocks and other precision timepieces, including entire collections, made by the following makers and firms: Ulysse Nardin, Zenith, Cartier, Gubelin, Hamilton, Elgin, Golay, Breguet, Chrysler, Longines, Negus, Vacheron & Constantin, Mercer, Movado, Omega, Patek Philippe, Bulova Accutron, J. Sewill, Charles Frodsham, Lange & Sohne (Lange & Söhne), Paul Ditisheim, Rolex, Milgauss, Gibbs, Longines Type A7 navigation avigation wristwatch, Tornek Rayville, Quartz electronic, Dent, John Roger Arnold, Arnold & Dent, Winnerl, Bond, Waltham, Solvil, Thomas Earnshaw, Louis Kurtz, Paul Stübner, Chronometerwerke, Ehrlich, Jensen, Gerstenberger, Liedecke, Löbner, Ludolph, Pavlicek, Prell, Gera, Raabe, Schmidt, Schuchmann, Thielemann, Tietz, Wiegand, Peine, Tompion, Knibb, Graham, Quare, Berthoud,  and any others.... in any condition.

Feel free to contact me if you, or someone you know, has a chronometer, deck watch or military timepiece(s), or unusual watch for sale or trade.  Even if I am not interested, I will be glad to recommend other collectors that may be.  I'm also glad to recommend resources to research your timepiece.
