Traded actually, for a Breitling, but did top up so guess it qualifies as a buy

 

First Omega and could not be happier! Thanks to the folks at OB in San Antonio.

 

New strap, Cigar shell cordovan made by fellow forum member @jankoxxx.





Bonus points if you can identify where that artwork is from.

 

New flat link day! 7912 with #4's and a 1039 with generic ends

 

Lemania 1341 hands for my project Tissot Navigator. It's the last piece in a long and increasingly costly lesson in restoration. Will be excited to have the watch back in a few months and looking great.

 

Bought this circa 1954 Compax. 18k gold.
What do you guys think?

 

Also bought this black dial Titus Genève presented here on OF: https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-solid-gold-chrono-a-wonderfull-collection-for-sale.23544/

Will keep you posted

 

Last minute update: the seller will not ship my watch because he found out that the caseback had been damaged by a previous watch maker.
He will get it fixed by a jeweler.
I will keep you posted.

 

Visiting Cardiff for a couple of days and picked up this Leonidas Triple Date Moonphase.

A new arrival today...

Zenith cal. 2572PC ~1975 in very nice condition...simple elegant, just love it!



It took its time getting here ( customs!) but it was worth the wait.

 

Update: My Zenith 146HP arrived in the mail this morning.
It will receive some gentle cleaning, but I am a very happy collector!
A big bonus was also the signed buckle!

37mm of pure chronograph delicacy!

 

A bunch of pocket watch movements to mangle on my quest to learn how to repair these things.
And mainspring winders

 

1972 Grand Seiko 6146-8050 Hi-Beat with grey dial. Been looking for one for some time.. Gonna send it for servicing and light polishing plus change the crystal to a NOS one. Think it'll look great..

 

Same Zenith 146HP as above. Just had a bit of time to behold the movement.

 

105.012 then?

 

Bought a few weeks a go as a gift for Mrs A, following a recent thread on the "Dynamic" I mentioned I hadn't seen her wearing it much lately. Confession time she has not taken to it so now in my watch box.



Anyone else see the case has a military bearing ?

 

Well managed Alpha.....

 

Why do I suspect this is all still going to cost me dearly
