I'm always on the lookout for interesting looking vintage watches, not necessarily concerned with monetary value, but just things that look cool to me.

I happened upon this "HUNTER" automatic yesterday. I asked the sales lady if I could see it and with a gentle shake the second-hand came to life, smoothly sweeping around the dial.

It's been on winder since I brought it home and is still keeping perfect time with the clock on my computer. (I realize this is not the best way to really gauge the accuracy of a timepiece, but I don't have any fancy equipment for that purpose)

I've never heard of Hunter, and finding any information on the web has been futile.

Regardless of its value, I was more than happy to pay the full asking price of $14. :-)

Any information would be appreciated!

14$ is quite a ridiculous price for such a beauty, congratulations!

May I ask how big it is?

Thanks!

The case is 36mm, minus the crown.

Can you pop off the back and post a pic. Might help to see what movement is inside.

Looks like someone's private label as I haven't heard of them either.

Great buy for the $$ so what have you got to lose.

14$

wow you did well there! Just a battery change would cost a 20!

I'll try to pop it open and snap some photos later today.

Thanks! :-)
