Really nice watch, congrats -- and what a worthy destiny for it!!

 

Hi all, my first post here. I bought this last week but it arrived today. My first Omega.

 

Guess what-- a teeny weeny ladies' art deco Universal Genève watch.
I was the only bidder on this one (surprise, surprise).
It's hairspring is a bit messed up, let's hope it can be fixed reasonably.
And with that I think I have to stop playing good samaritan to orphaned 1940s ladies watches....

 

These appear now and then, and I like the design. Finally pulled the trigger on one.

 

Bought my first Omega off of mdgrwl right here. The watch is beautiful and I rec'd it the next day! I can see how this might become addictive.

Yes, but someone has to do it. We're voting for you.

 

Following on from @STANDY's advice... I'm creating my own vintage.

Now to recover from the shock of spending money.

 

Even helps everytime you bump or bang it, the making my own vintage attitude

Nice one

 

I'm glad your enjoying the watch

 

Week rental, to try before I buy. It's mine if I make the right offer. Where to start with price? Beats me

 

That's just plain cruel, like you'll say no!?!?

 

Arrived today. I must say I´m delighted with the quality of these IWC´s. It´s a very nice feeling when you handle them!





Always nice to get the box included in the purchase too

 

My moms watch died. As snowbirds they spend all winter in Florida and she needs something she can swim and go to the beach with. If I had bought something nicer it would have stayed in a drawer. Hope she likes it.

 

What a lucky Mom, sure she knows that already

 

This decided to come home with me today

 

Very nice piece. what size is it?

 

A little Omega Seamaster 30 Cal 286 from 1963 in reasonable condition.


Damn, I should have photoshopped out that spot on the dial just near the 8..........Oh, hang on, I'm not selling it though so why worry.
