Longines again. This time a 9000-8 from 1956. A little polywatch and a new strap from FinWatchStrap ... does the Conquest good. All in, $475. Case and enamel a bit beat up but overall a decent buy IMO

 

Picked up a 16233 for the wife as a push present

 

MK 40 triple date!! Bought this a month ago!

 

Hey, quick question. Is the reference number on this the 3506.31? I’ve seen one similar to this for sale (white dial, white sub-dials with black chapter rings on subs etc). It’s different to any other Speedy Legends I’ve seen. Can’t seem to find much info on this particular referenced Schumacher though . I’m almost ready to pull the trigger on the purchase but lack the courage without doing a bit more research first.

P.S. I assume this has the “Michael Schumacher The Legend” engraving in red on the case back?

 

Just in, from down under. I started by thinking of buying one of these just for its bracelet, then decided to take a punt on them all.

World Time from April 64


Silver Wave - Seiko's first dive watch, of sorts - this one from Jan 63:

(looks like it's been relumed and not that well - something to address maybe)

and finally, the least shouty of the trio but rather splendid:

A Sept 1961 "Blue Yacht" that was only made for a year or so. It's got a quite unusual brushed swirl pattern on the dial:

 

I picked this up a few days ago (and got something for the wife as well - softer landing as I add another Omega to my collection). Both going for service stop! Anyone know where I can pick up a copy of AJTT (for less than $700 US)?

 

Just acquired this Seamaster. It has a 591 movement and a 17,***,*** movement/production number so I’m assuming 1959/1960.

I’m indebted to @omegastar for his thread on buckles. This one has a ‘B’ (beta) SWISS, which is possibly age appropriate.

Oh, and it runs

 

It's not perfect but i like it very much and feel very good on wrist..

 

Just arrived today, LOVE this one

 

Picked up a 1969 seiko 6106-8109 the first ever sports diver from the brand. Also if any one is interested let me know I'm not attached.....yet lol

 

Bought this late yesterday evening. It was super expensive (for being Tissot), but I will never again find another in the same condition...

Hi, yes it is 3506.31! and it is different from the other "Schumacher" Legend. In my opinion rarer, because usually I see the other.
Exactely, it has “Michael Schumacher The Legend” engraving in red on the case back, as you can see in the pic.

Usually I write down a description when I purchase a watch, so maybe these info could be useful for you:

"Stainless steel case, diameter 42 mm, scratch-resistant anti-reflective sapphire crystal, White dial with black/silver sub-dials, stick hands. Stainless steel Omega bracelet ref. 1620/887 with double-folded deployant closure, screw-in case back.
Automatic Omega Cronograph Movement caliber 3301, based on Piguet 1285 movement. A fine example of a superior chronograph, this movement has a vertical coupling that ensures instantaneous actuation of the chronograph hand when the pusher is pressed, a column-wheel mechanism for precision starting, stopping and resetting of the chronograph functions, as well as the Omega free sprung-balance for excellent stability of the watch’s going rate. Furthermore, the movement is an officially certified COSC chronometer and has a power reserve of 55 hours. Impermeability up to 10 bar (100 meters / 330 feet)".

 

Looks brand new!

 

An antique market find that came home friday. Paid about 120US, I would have paid it for the case alone!

Nice clean Waltham made in the fall of 1888...

 

Mmmm I like New.... As long as it is Old Stock
This is not NOS (I believe) but quite close

 

In love with this 'Art Deco' Eterna. Look at these numerals, especially the 2 and 8.

 

Arrived a couple weeks ago and might be familiar to some who saw it in the "Other Brands" sub-forum. 18k rose gold, 36mm, cal 90M.

 

I recently took this in as a trade, but I'm not yet convinced that it's a keeper.

 

Loving this pickup from a member, can't seem to take it off the wrist. Just noticed the isofrane strap is on backwards...
