Was happy to pick up this 2505-20 for $330 earlier this year. That was also the watch that kicked off my Omega obsession... so in the long run probably not a good deal at all 馃榿
AU$500 which is US$345
145-022 71 from 1973, my birth year.
In a dusty second-hand store in a small town in rural Australia.
I damn near pissed my pants. I still can't wipe the grin off of my face.
Picked this little guy up for $200 to use as a beater. It keeps good time, it has some nice ghosting on the bezel, and I'll be darned if it doesn't have one of the best-feeling bezel racheting mechanisms I've ever tried. I've played with Rolex, Tudor, and Omega divers before, but this somehow feels better.
If this model Hamilton wasn't quartz it would be extremely popular - looks wise it is fantastic. Hands, dial, bezel - all tritium. Amazing. Would be worth at least 10x as much if automatic.
I completely agree. I bought it thinking it would just be a wacky little quartz piece, but I've really grown fond of it. It's even got a fun vintage size at 38mm. Better image of the faded bezel:
Seamaster 2990 for ~$450, delivered directly to my door by the seller. The dial is nearly flawless, crown is a service replacement.
Would anyone have a part number for the correct bracelet ?
1927 Elgin. Bought as a donor watch but not compatible. Jim gave it a clean up and wow馃榿
