I have a list I can send of them if you are interested. If you have bid or are intending to bid on multiple items, just message me when you're ready and I'll send you an invoice with the combined shipping total.  ***NOTE ON INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING*** I have no control over how long a package may take to get through your country's customs office or how costly the duties might be. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding Before listing a watch, I check to see if it sets, winds, and runs and for defects and then list it accordingly. I re-check to make sure it does as listed before I ship, every time  In the event a watch does not arrive to you as described, which sometimes happens when dealing with old watches, please contact me... I will deal with you honestly and professionally, and I hope you will do the same in return  If you wish to pay with a method other than PayPal, please contact me first  If you have any questions after reading the description and examining the photos, please ask before bidding and I will try to respond in good order  Thanks for looking and good luck - Alan
