The original homage watch.

 

Just bought this off eBay, waiting for delivery. Can anyone tell me who could maybe restore this one.

 

Might be a catch and release...

 

I want that seconds hand .... late 50's, 1956-7 .... has the same dial as my "alarm".

 

Have you figured out the significance of the 'star'?

 

I tried to track down all I could ... a number of dials were bought by Heuer from Abercrombie & Fitch in the mid 50s and one dial is in the Heuer museum, but no complete watch. The "alarm" in the exact configuration mine's in was in the 1957 catalogue, in France/Switzerland (printed in French, so I'm guessing). That's all paraphrased from half a dozen sources but I never found any reference to the star. If you do find out more, let me know.

 

...I'm waiting for the 2-3 pages of people linking to their new Speedy Tuesday Speedmaster

 

Lovely patina and a blued seconds hand is always a nice bonus

 

Dibs on yet another Alpina of yours. Love that grey dial.

Maybe I'm just being a stickler for condition but all the ones I find look like they've been through a garbage disposal.

 

I'm waiting to see what crops up on the Private Watch Sales to finance these new Speedies ...

 

Bought me a 2015 Speedmaster : )

 

Picked this up today

 

That watch deserves a much better picture...

 

I will when I get chance. This was a quick shot in boutique

 

Still with iPhone but a little clearer

 

Hope not to be honest.

With all the Omega shenanigans going on re the Speedy Tuesday LE, I almost feel that this has become a secondary acquisition, but here it is, my own little Grail finally snagged and no loose and vicarious nod on the back to anyone other than the maker. I like that about it...

 

Haha...will be interesting for sure...

 

I joined the club. Gotta love Fedex








quick change to leather strap

And onto the wrist

 

Very nice!
