I’m pretty new to this amazing watch passion.
My wife called it already a sickness but in the meantime she’s wearing one of my watch 😀
Saturday I purchased this completely coherent and serviced admiralty from a friend.
No Date, and looks GREAT ! 👍

Indeed. This friend of mine is really honest. I’ve been very lucky to meet him. Omega suddenly became my favorite brand.

I sold a Speedy Pro and bought a FOIS. I was on the fence with the FOIS b/c of the sapphire crystal but the rest of the watch makes up for the lack of hesalite.

I am not meant to be buying at the minute, but purely by accident I've ended up buying two watches this week!

This Seamaster 120 just arrived. It needs some tlc but with a crystal polish and a good clean I'm hoping the dial should pop.

OK.....don't laugh, just arrived today, really surprised me.
It shows way above it's weight class.
No one is laughing... many of us have pulled the trigger. What is that band? It’s killer.

Nice!

I love the look of that dial and the MST movement.

Looks like maybe a cal. 297 or 371 depending on size...?


It is a cal. 364 😉

This guy arrived on Friday, though technically I bought it over a year ago by backing the project on Kickstarter. LIV Rebel-A, #137 of 750.

Finally joined the club for not much more than the cost of a decent strap

Arrived today. Was going to mod it, but now less sure. It’s too nice. A 145.022-69 pre moon with a later bezel. It was USD 4250.

Looks like @Davidt and I picked up siblings. Mine is in need of a little spa time as it has various little issues. Look close and you will see this Seamaster 120 has a unique lumed second hand which I have rarely seen but I believe may have been an option upon purchasing. It also came on a 1067 bracelet,my 165.027:

A 2471 from the mid-40s, from one of our European forum members, a true gentleman.

Picked up this zenith submariner with ETA movement. Was a bit of a gamble without PayPal protection but it finally arrived with box, papers and original bracelet.
