Nice! I've been keeping a look out for a nice example of this watch. $100+ seems to be the going rate on eBay for the grade I want. Where do you find yours?

? 100$ is way too much. And it is questionable if the are serviced.

This one I got from a friend,he had it in his drawer for years with broken stem. Took it to rehaul,cleaned it and here it is.


Darwils are common over here,but it is hard to find one in anywhere near good condition.

If you have some samples you are interested in send me links,I will look up to it and tell you if it is a good opportunity or not.

Darwil is not a well known brand over here and I rarely see them. Thanks for the offer to take a look at whatever I find online - I will take you up on that.

Thanks for the compliments, I usually post it in the Non CW of the Day thread, but it qualifies as vintage as well and will post here more regularly. Its my daily watch and truly a beautiful piece. Tritium all dead. :)

Wow, you have an extensive vintage collection.
Are you the sinner777 on WUS too ?
I have changed the strap to this Cincy nato (though this specific pic was taken earlier).
