Incoming! New arrival. First non-speedmaster Omega I've acquired.

 

That is one of the most beautiful photos I've seen of a watch movement, the lighting is perfect. That's one very fine watch you have there. Its been a pleasure just seeing it.

 

with a little brown touch

 

Omega Dark Side Of The Moon......

 

Really nice one.

Congrats

 

Bought this a while ago, but he needed a good service.

Just pick it up yesterday

Lemania chrono in 18 kt gold with lemania 27CH C12.

Lugs are not common.

 

That's a pretty massive spacer! How wide is the watch? 37mm or so?

 

My first Mark II..until now I only bought modern speedmasters..

 

HI,

Can't measure it now,will do later and reply.

But I believe it will be around that measure 36 or 37 mm

Thanks

 

Thanks a lot! Glad to get some positive feedback. The purchase was very quick and I pretty much have no knowledge about Lemania but sometimes you just have to take the chance . Cheers

 

@Northernman is the Lemania knowledge base here ( as he has so many of them )

 

Thanks @STANDY . I'm really curious to know exact production year. I tried looking for Lemania reference table online but no luck.

 

Toot or Tut (though phonetically it would be the former so as to be rhymed with soot and not rut) is a slang synonym for rubbish or nonsense, as favoured in the London area and somewhat popularised by Lord Alan Sugar on the UK version of The Apprentice.

as in, "I'm not giving you fifty quid for this load of old toot".

 

Just took delivery of another Heuer branded deployant clasp (18/16mm) for the latest Carrera reissue

 

Just arrived last night. Another Memomatic 166.072 on 1162 bracelet. This watch was sold as "alarm not working". It works!!!, just delayed by five minutes. Same with the date change-over +5min. Hopefully just an adjustment during the service it is about to get. I love these watches. Great value for a fantastic looking watch.

 

A very nice Lemania indeed!
Congrats on a great pickup!

I have collected serial numbers with confirmed purchase or dedication dates.
Yours I would date to 1954-1955.

The dial design is very interesting. I have never seen a black version with that pattern before.
What I do have is a cal 4651 Automatic with a similar pattern in silver.

The ref 280KO appears also in my 1956 catalogue.
It came in A-Acier and KO, Gold on Steel.

Note that the reference number is a case reference only. Lemania had a modular and small scale production. You may find a great variety of sweep seconds and sub seconds movements (3000 family) and dial variants for the same case ref.






Prices in GBP 1956.

And my 4651 Automatic.


Cheers.

 

Knew you'd have one or similar

 

Actually, with the exception of the first two watches , and the Seamaster, on the previous page, the rest are all Lemania powered!

 

Pink UG time only just came through the letterbox
