Just brought this new and unworn 2007 ‘32 Marine home - from the Omega Museum collection - you can see my daily Sochi Petrograd that I was wearing when I went in for the pickup. I was lucky to find a boutique that had one tucked away - getting hard to find new ones given only 135 were made.
(If it’s not a familiar model then some interesting info can be found here that explains the waterproof double case and how Omega had to work around a Rolex patent back in the day: http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/blogomegamarine.php).

I usually really dislike square watches, but this is wonderful.

That is a nice one! I haven’t ventured into square watches yet either, but tempted now! What’s the dimensions?

Walking past a closing down sale at a jewellers in Llandudno , my wife stopped to look at the offers . So thought I would look at the Seikos in the window & spotted this at 30% off . So about 3 minutes later it was mine , & boy what a looker it is and super comfy too & just love the dial . Just confirms that Seiko don't half pack a punch in the VFM stakes ,
Great purchase .Enjoy and wear in good health

I finally snagged one that I've been after for a while...if you're a lover of vintage chronographs and haven't looked into Movado, do yourself a favor and start reading! Fascinating brand that unfortunately lost it's way in Quartz Crisis (but produced extremely high quality watches up until then).

Dibs Mate on this one.

Tis a lonely path..the way of the bottom feeder! So many bright and shiny things on the thread here.😀
Three mega knackered watches, (2 project watches..can you guess which ones? lol) for real cheap (no surprise there). The JLC will either be fixed, sold as parts, or used as a donor....replacement parts are always an issue. Under the grime it appears to be mostly intact.
I have hopes for the Lemania with suitable replacement vintage syringe hands and a crystal!
Normally I'd draw the line somewhere here, I really would, but with time and patience I reckon 2 are saveable without throwing crazy money at them.... er, I think...::facepalm1::

It's here! My Dan Henry Evil Panda. The size is perfect on my 7.25 inch wrist. It is all your fault @dougiedude. If you run into an angry, small blonde lady with a nickled Colt Detective Special pointed at you, it is just my wife. LOL

P.S. This must really go a long way towards passing the eye test, as I have only worn this a bit over an hour and have had to fight the urge and stop myself from trying to wind it three times. Wouldn't The Squirrel have had a great retort to that admission? ;-)

It's funny how the no date panda, and no date reverse panda, are both the only ones that have sold out already - they're really the best looking ones to consider, although 38mm looks a bit small on my wide wrist so I passed. I had to settle for my #ST1 and my Mitsukoshi modded Speedy to satisfy my panda urges instead...
