Found out from seller that he purchased it about a year ago from the original owner, an Omega collector in the Netherlands that has "hundreds of watches" and OO never wore it. Seller said he only wore it out once while he owned it.

The Stowa on the far left in last pic might only partially qualify as C-case, and is much smaller than the rest. I moved stuff around in top 2 as I struggled with the light with phone camera, thus why it's basically the same pic just with the Itraco and 176.007 swapped. New strap on way for 176.007 too.

Thanks, it's a great piece. The strap was only $29.95, so that fits most budgets. 馃槈 The Deep Sea Tributes are much more affordable than the Polaris Tribute, if you're looking for a justification (like my wife bragging about "saving" money at a sale 馃う). And much much cheaper than the original Deep Sea Alarm.

Savings!!

Enabler!!!!!! 馃憤馃憤

I got this nice gold platted Seamaster Chrono 321. The dial is dirty but should be clean soon. I got this from the daughter of the original owner just revised before the sale.


Can you "photo document" this project?

I bet this watch winds up being a looker 馃榾

This week I bought not one but 2 nice watches:

First a beautiful and in perfect condition 14k gold Movado Kingmatic S with cal 408:



And a IWC electronic with cal 150(but the movement has 160 written on it) in very nice condition:



These ^^ Movado's represent excellent value in my humble estimation. Great social event watch / they wear like bricks on your wrist which is always a pleasurable feeling (to me).

Movado made sturdy cases. Your Movado's looks like it could've been made yesterday...

I've a wedding in Maryland tomorrow and want to wear my new toy to the day portion. 1963 Super Compressor Brevet in pretty minty condition.

Any preference for either of these two straps? Just temporary / it's what I have laying around in 19mm...
