    Long since I've bought an Omega 30mm HW.
    Kind of liked the look of this one. No idea as to ref or caliber. Any speculations?
    Crystal scratched and cracked. A fair bit of cheese. Just how I like to find them.
    A reveal later in the coming week can be expected.
    :)

    it looks a bit like my 2639-1, cal 265 from 1950. Might be a not so distant relative.

    BTW, you forgot the ::rimshot::.

    Lovely watch, very Japanese!

    Today, I bought a service - and the non-running Speedsonic is now humming away as it should.

    Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see a dead watch brought back to life. :)

    I have, perhaps, bought this little piece:

    Looking familiar, @kyle L ? :)

    Unfortunately, PayPal has decided that I needed to verify my identity and accounts, so my account is frozen. Have explained the situation to the seller, really hope he'll let PayPal sort it out and not cancel the transaction :confused:

    Something for Mrs. Lando. Had everything to keep interest very low: womens non-runner with scratched crystal. CHF 49.00. Service will be more expensive, however.
