@Nobel Prize - that one is nice. I had been looking at that one too.

Today I bought a new hand set for my Seamaster 200. I am going to put back the original hands (replacing the ploprof hands) and I also bought a new crystal for my 176.007. Yesterday I bought a sapphire case back for my 103.005.

Here it is:
Nice one! I had one of those a few years back. Such a sweet watch. Did yours come with the OEM rubber strap as well?

No, next week I'll stop by the JLC store and look at straps. Come to think about it I don't think I would want a used 7 year old rubber strap. They get a little funky.

Just arrived in the mail today from Kringkily - Speedmaster 3520.53. I have been looking for a moon watch for the past couple of months. This just got listed and I had never seen this reference but it was so beautiful I had to get it.

Never seen that before. What year is it?

The Geneve looks like our homes in January...dark and snowy! Love them all Anders!!
In fact, I call dibs on the Omega sub-seconds...looks military to me. What's the story on that one?

Purchased a few days ago and en-route, if you never see it again the gambler still has his shirt but is down a couple of groats and hiding his head in shame.

I had exactly the same notion on the Geneve!
The sub sec is a ref 2400-3 Swedish only market "Suverän". Basically a steel for watches exchange set up during WW2.

Purchased and received today the following Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch presentation set items from OF member @Speedy1:

1. Omega loupe.
2. Omega spring bar tool.
3. Omega black polyamide NATO strap.
4. Omega replica NASA strap.

The above items (also pictured below) will serve as backups to the same items that I already have from my Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch presentation set. Many thanks to Speedy1 regarding the willingness to part with these items from his presentation set...also, Speedy1 was a pleasure to deal with regarding this transaction. 👍



So...now that I have two Omega loupes...it's time for an Omega loupe party...rock on! 😎

Well yesterday I finally joined the Omega club. I went into an AD with the intention to buy the watch I have been wanting for quite a while, the Hour Vision Orbis. So I did get that.





But I was also interested in a new daily wear watch. Tried on the SeaMaster Master Coaxial. I fell in love with this one too. Ended up getting a fantastic deal by buying both watches.





The pictures really don't do these watches justice.

Have a great day everyone.
