Planning to trim and change around our 140 watches collection. All watches are Swiss and automatic unless stated over wise. Very small wear on most of them - some of them were never worn only tried on or paraded 3-4 times. Looking to do interesting trades
Looking to trade up and will gladly use multiple pieces as well as add cash (no more then 50% of the deal) unless it something really interesting. Prefer Swiss mechanical watches. Like them large and complicated - I'm a big 6'3" guy with 7 3/4" wrist. Do not care that much about scratches and small nicks as my friend is watch restorer. All of them work well and in great mechanical condition. Some of them might need polish and will be restored to 90-97% conditions before trade, if requested. I'm also interested in high end ladies watches. Will gladly work with anybody and entertain any reasonable offer.
Will gladly do face to face in NY Tristate Area especially in Long Island My phone is 516-650-6204 Feel free to call between 1PM-1AM EST (I'm a late night person) - Leon

Sothis Spirit of the Moon - LE of 500, great German watch with see-through back, constellation engraved rotor and beautifully finished dial - quality of dial is definitely German - not Swiss and close to GO or Lange.

Spirit of the Moon Chronograph in a larger case size - 42 mm. This watch is a limited edition of 500 pieces worldwide. Earlier versions of this watch have featured a 39 mm case, but with this new size the diameter is now in the "sweet spot".
Sothis German watches have their own unique style, and this watch captures it all. Wolfgang pays attention to the small things so often ignored by others. Take a look at the moon phase display in the picture above - his design is totally unique, and offers an interesting way to monitor the changes. Also, paying close attention to the hands will reveal unusual design elements, including the tips of the hands themselves.
The Silver dial features Roman numeral markings with bold uses of colors. An interesting feature is the indication of the moon phases by a yellow serpentine hand with a red star on a sub-dial at 6 and not with a traditional moon phase indicator. Finish of the dial is second to none
This watch features a three counter chronograph, sub seconds, complete calendar and moon phases. The stainless steel case is substantial, and features an onion crown with telescoping pushers.
Sapphire crystal glass on both sides. Nicely finished chronograph movement with Geneva stripes, perlage, blued screws and engraved gold plated rotor. Watch is water resistant to 5 ATM.
