路路Steve @ 惟Fsurprise personalization. This is pretty cool, even for a jaded and cynical watch jockey...
Of course after many years a watch hobbyist, many of the guys I know just order this one.馃槜

路路Pratts! Will I B******S!!!I picked this Tissot up on the 'bay recently for pocket money, more out of curiosity than anything else. Tissot with US Military-stamped back. From what I have read, there is much speculation about these "OH" ORD markings, but nothing definitive. Some say they were stamped by the US Army occupying forces post-war after confiscation, or perhaps came as part of a post-war purchase from Omega/Tissot. Others say the watches are good but the stamp isn't legit. Other brands also have these markings, and they've been around for a long time.
A couple of threads here if you're interested...

路路Kilt Owner, Beagle Parent, Omega CollectorA job lot -
A couple of other pieces included but doubt they would be of interest.
A couple more crappy individual shots pre clean-up -
Now where's the spit and polish ?

路Missed out on yet another Heuer Autavia yesterday morning (second highest bidder for the umpteenth time in the last few years 馃檨 )
So this was a bit of a (reasonably) late night, beverage assisted, phone internet connection only, consolation buy.
Never been desperate for one before but have had a look from time to time and tastes have moved from these to the early thin bezel versions, to Planet Oceans, to next years modern 300 (way out of my price range) and back.
[sellers pics - currently in Brooklyn, NY. Should be in Australia by the end of next week]
Managed to do a tiny bit of phone internet research before hitting BIN (flat "A" / "certified" caseback, as per Privateday7's comments above) but guessing the 'open 6 & 9' and 'stubbies' don't relate to the presumably Watchco dial.
Missed the damage to the bezel on my phone 馃槦 and nervous about the "Professionally Cleaned & polished" description 馃槖 . [7 o'clock lug ?]
Also there was no movement shot. 馃槵 Well there was, but of a completely different watch 馃.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Any opinions? Too much of a mix of old and new? Too much unknown?
Hoping for a thumbs up so I can start looking for mesh, isofrane and nato's 馃槑
Got to be a reasonable 'banker' version (not sure who coined that phrase on here 馃槈 ) while I try out the SM300 and get more educated.
And likely to be my introduction to a local Brisbane watchmaker.
