Could not resist this full set 16570

 

The wife said all my vintage watches are to big for her so I picked this up I think she will happy..

 

Didn't have a camera along so no picture but I just did a deal on a nice Russell of Liverpool pocket watch. Sweet little keywind, silver cased thing I couldn't resist. Its even got its original key with Russell's Liverpool street address on it.

Ran the hall marks when I got home.... it was made in 1832.

Its with my watchmaker now being serviced. pictures as soon as it arrives!

 

168.046 received yesterday and I've worn it almost a day. It seems to be losing about 5 seconds a day so it's running pretty well. Not the favorite collectible for the forum but I really like it, dial spots and all. It can use a bit of polish on the Hesalite which I'll get to next week. Any inputs on the 1001 movement regarding failure rate percentages. I've read much on the 1001 especially Desmond's article that says only buy if you can maintain it yourself. For $400 delivered from Japan it seemed like a decent deal.

 

These dibs are all hypothetical anyway.

You would be out of your mind to ever part with that watch.

 

Flea market find for $80 not a bad deal

 

Got another one for $65 not a bad day for Seikos

 

Nice find and WDE!

See the panda in the back?



Buddy of mine just found this & now it's mine...Yep the price-tag is correct



Now the wait begins

 

Great score.

 

You can wade through tons of junk at second hand / thrift stores before you find a gem like that.

 

Just bought this beauty.
I got an amazing deal. Very happy with my new purchase.
I just ordered the brown calf strap and the deployment buckle directly from omega.

Beautiful watch. Also, it's deployant, not deployment. Common mistake, apparently it drives Ben Clymer of HODINKEE crazy.

This might be a bit out of line as it wasn't bought today but last weekend ... still, it might give you all a laugh. Bought at auction as part of a two watch lot, I paid £45 for these. It objected to being opened but gave in at the end and is sitting here waiting to be re-assembled. Sold as parts, it just needed a balance wheel and, while I am the first to admit Mickey Mouse would question their quality, I do love the look of these divers:



(The dial looks blurred in the photo but it's actually mint).

 

Yep, okay, so not the watch, but couldn't pass up the t-shirt.

 

These two.
