    Nice one!

    I received a cal. 354 too today - this one is wrapped in a jumbo rose gold-capped case and is a chronometer :D

    It's always nice when sellers forget to mention the small things. In this case "rose gold", "chronometer" and "jumbo"!

    Fresh from the Land Down Under a gold capped Dynamic.

    A few dings on the bezel at the crystal; makes me wonder if somebody tried to remove the crystal with something other than tool 107 but otherwise not bad...

    Not me but my beloved Lady "A"
    Surfing this evening as one does and popped off to the little boys room leaving this piece on screen only to be informed on my return that my girl loves it and as I have been selling so many she has bought me a present ::love::::love::::love::

    Can't help but love it :thumbsup:

    I just got this Cosmic a couple of days ago. Nice watch, but what I did not know is that these 60's Cosmic's are different sizes. This one is slightly smaller (2mm less in dia.) than the other one I have. So it will be a short stay for this one. This is the only example of a solid grey dial I have seen. I do love Omegas with a scientific/reticle dial.

    An O.E.M. rubber strap and buckle for my PAM 338, just so I can wear it in the water if I want to...It has always bothered me that it is rated to 100 meters and only comes with a non-waterproof 'gator strap. Had to get a 24mm instead of 25mm strap, but that's not a big deal. I'll share a photo of it with the new strap attached, but in the meantime... ;)

    Great looking piece that, such a huge contrast to most of your watches but it never looks too big at all in any of your wristshots.

    So i was perusing the RGM Facebook page and I saw this enamel dial model 455 chronograph that had been custom made for a client. The watch haunted me so I asked, and it turns out that one does not make just one "grand feu" dial.......... Try as I might I could not resist. Delivery in September as all parts are there except the strap.

    Did some shopping on 47th, and couldn't resist one last purchase while in Manhattan:

    I know next to nothing about these, but at the price that the watchmaker/seller was asking, I didn't really care!

    Interesting! What's under the hood? ETA 7730? Are the bars actually screwed in?

    Valjoux 7753 ... Sadly not one of his in house movements but I already own an 801 COE. I will ask actually on the bars. I assume this is case decoration.

    Railmaster cal 2403 with display back. With bracelet and 2 OEM leather straps, one with Omega deployant. Why is it when you swear you're not going to buy anything for the rest of the year, one of the ones in the back of your mind comes up. And of course it's a deal you can't refuse. Not yet in hand, but on its way. Pics are from the seller.
