JB Champion came today, I was following the one that went for over $1k US and this one was listed BIN for half that so pulled the trigger. Can't get much closer to Neil than this, need to get the thin pushers swapped but I'm in 🥰🥰🥰

1962 Catalogue
Omega, ou la cle de votre reussite
"or the key to your success" ???

1962 Catalogue.jpg


Hoping for some early Speedmaster 'action' in there. Trying to get my kicks on the cheap(ish) these days.
Only two other pictures* from the seller so it adds to the excitement and anticipation during shipping as to what will be revealed in the 45 pages.
😎

*Only thing I can make out in the blurryness is a picture from the XV Olympiad, so Finland 1952.
Possibility then that this pre dates the suggested 1962 and is from pre Speedmaster times?

After 3 years and one month I'm on the brink of reaching the 'magic' 200 posts. 😁 I'll try and make the 200th worthwhile, but that may mean it takes another couple of weeks. (months?) 🙄

Found this UG with 215-27 microtor movement at a decent price. The case has some pristine facets on the lugs too 🥰

Mixed emotions about its origins, but it's one h... of a watch.
1942 Stowa WW2 navigators watch. 55mm diameter😵‍💫. Radium enough to go.
Should land in a couple of weeks.
Cheers!
Edit: Funfact...
Die STOWA Fliegeruhr mit dem Baumuster B Zifferblatt gehört zu den seltensten großen, historischen Fliegeruhren, die jemals gebaut wurden (ca. 1940 / 55 mm Durchmesser).
Es sollen wohl nur 42 Stück gebaut worden sein.

Just wow! Extremely cool! Remember, it´s just a watch, it was not responsible for the war. Enjoy it!
