Ladies '60s Vintage Benrus Watch with Alligator Grain Calfskin Strap - $75.00

Everyone needs a watch like this in their wardrobe.

This 1960s vintage Benrus comes very, very close to my idea of the perfect watch.

First is the maker. Along with Bulova, Hamilton, and Gruen, Benrus was one of the four premiere American watchmakers. This Benrus is an example of a high-quality, affordable watch made during the heyday of mechanical watches, just prior to the ruinous quartz invasion. T...

Approach of the Apostate Angel / Emanations from the Void Art Print - $7.95

Dante's map of Hell tapped into something deep within the collective unconscious of everyone who has been exposed to the idea of Divine Retribution.



Fixed in timeless space, burning in the deep cold of infinite ice fields, the Apostate Angel beats still strong wings in eternal defiance. Dante gave him no voice. Milton made him proud. Many have made him an anti-God in an anti-Heaven.

Ladies 1976 Seiko Automatic - Absolutely Gorgeous Vintage Watch - $45.00

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love Seiko. Of all the watch brands in the whole wide world, Seiko is my overall favorite. Especially vintage Seiko.

I hate to sell this watch. Even though I'm a guy and would never wear it, I still hate to sell it. It's just a really beautiful watch. It's - dare I say it? - classic.



Before we get to the real praises of t...

Relive the Crazy 80s with this 1986 Guess Brand Watch - $15.00

Parachute Pants (I had seven pair!). Cindi Lauper. MTV. Neon Clothes. Miami Vice.

That was the 1980s.

Thank God it's over.

Actually, some things are worth remembering.

This 1986 vintage Guess? watch is one of those things, coincidentally.

Unmistakeably 80s, the white case and band and green and red dial and crown tell the world that you were a Material Girl and proud of it.

Vintage Political Pop-Punk from Cringer and Hopeful Monsters - 7inch w booklet - $16.00

You think Fall Out Boy and Blunk 182 are making serious statements with their "punk" rock, emo crappola?

Pshaw...

The only thing serious about bands of that ilk is the headache I get when I hear them.

Them boys ain't punk.

And, if you don't know and love Cringer, then you ain't punk, punk.

Because Cringer is Punk.

This is an original pressing of the 7in...

Vintage Mens 1970 Caravelle Wristwatch - The Epitome of Classic Cool - $160.00

Ok, I admit it. I'm a big fan of the word "classic". I use it all the time. Classic cars, classic movies, classic fashion, classic watches...

But, dang it, it's such an evocative word. How else do you convey that almost mystical sense of style, the mystery and romance of another era, and the deep seated desire to possess just a small piece of a lost time?

I say "classic"...

Ca. 1965 Ladies Vintage Dainiseikosha Watch - AKA, A beautiful old Seiko - $40.00

If I had to choose my all time, all-around favorite watch brand, it would be Seiko.

You can go into just about any department store and pick-up a brand-new Seiko for far less than $50.00. Or, you can spend thousands on their high-end, incredibly complex and well-made mechanicals.

Of all the watches I own, and I own a lot, a 1970s Seiko diver is my absolute favorite. I choose it over Omega, Longine...
