Thanks to this community, spent days and hours educating myself on finding bad redial, franken, over-polished etc. Came up upon this silver day-date Sparkle to be late 1960s with a 752 movement. Appears to be all original and not too polished but more expert eyes will tell me I'm sure.

Ladies manual Geneve Dynamic for $250. Will probably add another $50 for extra bracelet links

This Seamaster, which is my first Omega 😀. It ended up being over $500 after service, but I am going to say it still counts.

A 168-005 Constellation found in the bottom of a candy tin bought at an antique radio swap meet for $15. Plus a few other running watches to boot. 😉
Just crazy 😀 Congrats!

I just got this last week for $350. These are not really in my comfort zone but I wanted a casual beater. A vintage I wouldn’t have to baby.

Got this 9ct solid gold Dennison cased Seamaster for £80 as the seller only wanted to sell it for the value of the gold.
