This was delivered yesterday.
First shot after bracelet adjusted.
14060M, V series, unpolished.
First Sub in my small collection.

Was hunting for a 2 liner but this unpolished piece was unresistible.

This arrived Friday, pic from yesterday.

I’ve come a long way since my first Omega, a polished redialed C-shaped Constellation bought in a haze of intermediate ignorance. Back in 2011 I never would have predicted this and would have questioned future me’s sanity. I blame @Jwit and @Kreindog24 for their orange enabling, along with @Jking and @the.watchdoc.

As some of you may have realised, I never go more than a week without buying something watch-wise. That said, the Chrome app on my phone hasn't been letting me upoad any photos so you've been missing out.

This week's purchase is something to totally unremarkable. Kinda. It's just a little CYMA 364 from 1936. It's filthy. It's got a broken stem. The balance is free, springs seem good, but it runs for no more than five seconds at a time. And, did I mention it's filthy?



but, ya see ... I have its brother. Its brother was the first watch I ever bought myself. Give me a few weeks and these two will be side by side looking, and running, great.

Sitting around having coffee and decided to buy/fund a Kickstarter watch which is a first. Just something about the clean look. Thinking of the black dial with white chapter ring (no date version) in 38mm. It’s dangerous being up so early and just browsing around!

Me too! Tipped off (egged on more like) by a so-called mate hahahaha!

Did you know the 42mm option has now been unlocked?

Black dial for me, undecided about chapter ring and no-date in preference to black-on-white date wheel.

Just picked this up from a trusted forum seller. It is a 14060M Z serial, last of the two liners I believe.

Another Polerouter. Needs a new crystal but the case is sharp, movement good and dial presentable

Not very sexy. Cheap beater for the pool. I like it surprisingly much....
