    My New Year's Resolutions continue by offering this interesting piece. Asking for $100USD via PayPal Friends and Family. The price includes international shipping from Australia.

    This is a single button stopwatch that runs 30 seconds in one revolution, and can be read to 1/10th of a second (i.e 36000bph.) Every minute in the 15 minute sub-dial is split into a white bar and a red bar. This makes reading the elapsed time very easy - if the minutes hand is in a red bar, you look at the proceeding number on the minute dial and then read the red number on the seconds track, and vice versa.

    The main sweep hand is slightly behind when reset, however both hands snap back promptly when the stopwatch is reset. Dial is attractive with the older style Omega font for the brand and "Swiss Made" and hands are blued. The stopwatch is 49mm across, 63mm from the bottom edge to the top of the knurled crown, and 71mm from the bottom edge to the top of the attachment ring.

    There is some plating loss at the 1 and 2 second area on the front of the case, as well as at the 10 second area, and there is a large split in the back flip case at the top. Case shows signs of light wear, while the back has marks and scratches.

    Opening up the case reveals some fingerprints from long ago, however movement seems clean and runs reasonably well. There is no service history so please consider one if you are going to be using this regularly. The 11 jewel Lemania movement serial number in the 9mil range suggests that this was made in 1939.

    Are you missing a zero? If your going to ship for free, this may count as a charitable contribution.
