    Hi Guys,

    Thoughts on this? I don't know much about these models! More of a Speedmaster freak!

    It's a Cal 601 in need of a service.

    I have that style in 9ct gold.

    Cal 601 was one of Omega's classic movements, is pretty bullet-proof, easy to work on and not too expensive to service.

    If it runs OK it'd be a goer, but the dial condition turned me off. It's a solid gold case though, thus the reason for the price, which I think is a bit high.

    Edit - Similar, not exactly the same but size etc look identical.

    You got the email too Jim? I really shouldn't be looking given what I've spent recently but when opportunity knocks... ;)

    Is it a big watch?

    Sorry about the crap pics.

    It's 34.8mm across so not huge, but the dial to case ratio makes it wear bigger I think.
