    Looking for my FIRST flip clock!!

    Hi guys!

    I'm a 22 year old guy who loves antiques and clocks and while I have 4 antique clocks (1 digital and 3 analog) I really want a flip clock for my bedside.

    Looking for something in the $60 dollar range, in good shape. Would prefer an alarm but may be okay with not having one (i do have a phone lol).

    I really like the bright red copal style ones; just something simple and I don't need a radio. I do have paypal and am motivated to buy!!

    Help me out!

    Thanks.

    Welcome to this handy and nifty forum!

    Whereabouts do you live? 110v & 60hz or 220v & 50hz?

    I have a lot of 'imperfect' clocks which I deem not nice enough to sell and will eventually be broken for parts, but they might still be nice and very useable (and thus have a friendlier price :-).

    Most of my clocks are 220v though, I have some options for a Copal clocks to convert them to 110v.

      Thanks for the reply!! I live in the US so I’m not sure what hz I need. I checked out your Etsy page and wow! I’m jealous of your inventory haha. I actually really like that red Seiko a lot too.

      The most important things for me are compact, light, and 12 hours time keeping. Alarm is a plus for sure. I just want something simple and reliable as it will be on my bedside table.

        Also I would like something hard wired with a plug rather than run by a battery

          Keep an eye on my shop... A nice 110v, 12 hours, hard wired flip clock might pop up.

          You would be able to find one on ebay for a nice price, but that would be gamble, you never know what you will get :-)

            Well I like both of the Seiko ones you have...would you be flexible on price knowing it would be my first?

              I think Copal 227s are good little starter clocks, they have an alarm but are fairly small. You might be able to find one in red on ebay in that price range if you watch new listing regularly.

                wdrach, if you are talking about the 2 Seikos listed for 85 euros... Since you have found me through the forum, there is a bit of play in the price somewhere in the region of 10/12%. No play in the shipping though, there is no room there :-)

                  Been looking at your shop and you got some great clocks! I want quite a few of them but only have the space for one as of right now. The three I'm most interested in the most are the Citizen Battery operated one, the red Seiko and the Yellow Seiko. I wish I had a bigger budget but this is my first, and I'm sure I'll be back to buy some more to put around the house. Would you be able to do $90 including shipping on any of those? I'd love to have one!
