It's a trip to the Pine Barrens for you.

Well, it beats the Meadowlands I guess.

More details? Vintage Omega?
All Omega. Seven are from 1970-75 (a couple are German) and one 80's and one 90's.

As most of them came as a job lot I'm going to end up with 1 or 2 duplicates with my current collection.

Seven is a good score. I only caught 4 last week all from Switzerland with one in German :

Any pics of yours?

Wow, very nice. I only have a couple of Swiss ones (early 70s). When the "new" ones arrive I'll post some pics.

Between both of you, OF could build a decent Omega (...and other brand) catalogue library 馃憤

This will go quite nicely with short sleeves and Summer Time. I love these Baby Panerai cases, and at a substantial 36mm they just look so much better proportioned than the new ones. Look at that lume!

The watch came from across the pond before landing on my doorstep in NYC. Interestingly, the package had been gashed open by customs. The mailer had a sticker saying "Searched by Customs". All was sealed back up again. First time I've had one searched!

With the "Stainless Steel device for timing for use in diving," description I bet they thought I was trying to sneak a Rolex in.

Not a Purchase - arrived today from a good friend and forum member. Yet another sign of the wonders of this group of like minded people 馃憤
Eldest daughter now infected with this virus that affects us all and a cracking start in to vintage watches - hope you all agree?

1952 Eterna-matic, case back took a bit of removing but worth the effort to find such a cracking movement.

Is that the 5 ball bearing logo on the crown?
