    Waiting for this guy to arrive. Think it will look much better with the Ranchero hands I have.

    And a new strap? It would be nice if you could post before and after pics

    This popped up in my email as available so I bought it: Trintec ZULU-03. Lots cheaper than the B&R version.

    @w154 ;)

    This guy just came today. Gold capped 14700-61 cal 552 with a late 18xxxxxx serial # most likely puts it at '61. Hard to get the light to hit the dial just right...

    This mid 70's Omega Speedmaster Mark V 176.0014 TV dial. Some real 70's funk. I like that you don't see these everyday.

    It joins my birth year Speedmaster 145.022 in the collection

    This arrived today. The ny0040-17L. I am completely and utterly mesmerized by it. Bought it when I sold my Seiko PADI, because it was a little too big for my taste, but this to me is far superior, also to the SKX007 which it is often compared with. Bought it as a new beater but I'm afraid it will be a new lover instead. Have to find another beater then. Anyone having the chance to buy this and not doing it is a fool. Pure and simple

    Been almost a year since I got to post in this thread. My $90 eBay find. My favorite of the mid century micro-rotor movements.

    Haven't seen one with a dial like this before. Love the silver seconds track. A strap and a service (and a crystal) and she'll be ready to rock.
