1958 23 Jewel Bulova Beau Brommell , $175-off the ‘Bay ....I like the 10k white gold case w it’s cut-out lugs and warm dial. ..Being a NYer I dig the period correct caseback .it’s interesting that Bulova made so many different designs of this 23.

$125 for a watch in 1957 was pretty serious money. Something like $1250 in today’s money.

Roughly the same price as a Rolex at the time.

That’s a serious hi-grade movement. I grab one of these late 50’s / early 60’s Bulovas each time I come across what I feel is a good deal.

Purchased this one fairly recently for literally a dollar or two over melt value and it’s beautiful. It’s never been serviced but it keeps perfect time at high amplitude. Like I wrote: top notch movements.

Nice ones! I've just posted a Sportsmatic for sale here on OF - anyone feeling like adding 25 jewels to their life should check it out when it goes live 😁

Found a panda dial I really like.. still hoping for a Hammie or a Heuer someday.
..but this should do for now:



Who knows, once in hand and on wrist, I might just end up totally satisfied!

I owned up to 3 Carreras at a point, which I all sold to fund speedmasters. Although i loved all of my Carreras, my grail always has been the 2447N. Well, yesterday I bought one, because prices have lowered a bit, and this is the best condition Carrera I’ve ever seen 🥰👍

love this carrera. great!

My birthyear Speedy https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-speedmaster-professional-145-022-76-st.88359/. Strapped on my own designed NATO strap. More on that later...
It is a 145.0222-76 sold in my birthyear 1978. Took me 4 years to get this one. Its incredible almost the same serial number as the one of @Robert-Jan https://omegaforums.net/threads/the...5-022-76-that-took-me-15-years-to-find.89359/ . https://www.fratellowatches.com/omega-speedmaster-145022-76/

Thanks to @donkii happy as a hippo, jippiajeeeee!
