I don't know if these are these vintage but I have a his and hers Ernest Borel wind-up watches. Those things in the middle spin as the second to make a really neat illusion. They both work fine. The man's one is especially interesting because it has an actual tiny paper 1969 calender built right into the band that scrolls as you turn a small dial. The man's band is that metal stretchy kind and the women's is missing half of it's leather band.

About $300-400 for the pair. They are enjoying renewed popularity lately.

Thanks. I wasn't really expecting these to be worth that much since they don't seem to have a very classic design but I was proven wrong. Should these start being worth more if I hold on to them for a few more years?

I think they're maxed out right now. It's a "fad" watch.
