It's that time of week again, and we have a great selection of watches for you to choose from, including a Rolex Milgauss 1019 and a Breitling Super Ocean 2005. We even have a vintage ladies' watch from Tiffany & Co. that looks like a vintage Cartier Baignoire. Let's get started.
A 1970 Rolex Milgauss Reference 1019
The Milgauss is the ultimate tool watch from Rolex, and it is hard to find one in good condition with a silvered dial, but we have one for you here. The cool thing about a vintage Milgauss is that the case, unlike the 36 mm Datejust and Explorer, measures 38 mm with a lug width of 20 mm. This case appears to be unpolished and has an incredible dial with full lume plots. For more information click here.
A 1960s Vacheron Constantin Chronometre Royal 'Batman'
This is not a watch you see very often. The Vacheron Constantin "Batman" is named for its unusually shaped case with curved lugs that resemble the superhero's emblem. Besides being an incredibly cool looking piece from the '60s, this watch houses the renowned automatic caliber K1072 movement and is stamped with Vacheron's ultimate seal of approval – the Chronometre Royal engraving on the case back.

A 1947 Longines Single-Button Flyback Chronograph
And then we have the coolest chrono on the block. This 1940s Longines single-button flyback "Chronostop" is not only gorgeous (did you see the two-tone dial?), but its movement was also advanced for its time. The caliber 12.68Z was patented in the 1930s and remained in use until the 1940s, when this watch was made. The function allowed the center seconds hand to run continuously and simultaneously with a central minute-counter and both flyback with the push of a single button. Truly an awesome watch.
