Locating a 1970s Excalibur watch?

A mate of mine recently lost a watch and is looking to pick up something similar.

Here is the only photo he could find of it, bad quality but I've it worked out to being an 1970s Excalibur automatic.



Came across this and it seems to be along the right track. Still a good few cosmetic differences but it looks to be the same line, which then gives me the movement type, a AS2083 automatic.

He said he'd be more than happy with the one in the link (unfortunately it's sold!) Anyone know anything about these watches or seen one for sale at all?

I think all you can do is set up some Ebay searches with email notifications and bide your time. Here's a sample search:

If you are aware that Excalibur was marketed more to certain countries it may be worthwhile setting up a search just on that country Ebay site (e.g. ebay.de, ebay.fr etc).
