A Circa 1920s Hebdomas “8 Jours” pocket watch... $167 off the Bay. It’ll sit in my office as a conversation starter.

Very cool 😎 Congrats!

I might need to study the watch photography forums to better catch the beauty of this new acquisition.

Oh oh....
Recently did 2 silly things!
First found a very nice 1969 gold capped Constellation day/date with black leather strap and gold Omega buckle. Near pristine shape. Should arrive soon!
Now have a bit of history and my first example of a Automatic chronometer.
Good price. Lucky find.

Secondly... New Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 GMT Titanium/Blue strap ti/ clasp.
Didn’t have a Sea Master in the stable. Do now! On its way. Tick Tock!
Now I’ve got to make room for these. Anybody want some Special Edition Hamilton’s ?
Waiting semi patiently!

The eagle has landed.👍 ::psy::

Sadly I’ve had very little opportunity lately to photograph the watch herd. Soon as the Sea Master GMT arrives I certainly will get this done . I’ve been fortunate to build a reasonably pretty collection of Omega Beauties, with a few Hamilton Sci Fi
Watches and a Rolex Explorer 2 thrown in. 8 Omegas when the new baby arrives.
I grateful for all the knowledge this forum has given me! Learned a lot from all of you!

Newly acquired Speedmaster

I was thrilled when Omega announced its 1957 Trilogy 60th Anniversary collection. After debating between the Speedmaster and the Seamaster 300, I decided to pull the trigger on the Speedmaster. Well, today, I decided to throw in the towel and take the plunge on the Seamaster 300:

I've been amazed that these and the Railmasters are still available. In this year alone, I’ve seen about a dozen Seamaster 300’s at multiple ADs across the US.

I'm a big fan of this current trend on re-issues, especially those pieces that pay tribute to dive and pilot watches. This one has been tugging at my heart for a while. I love the Omega symbol on the domed sapphire crystal.

Impressive lume:

I just picked one up today. I'll post photos when I receive.

Got this 1970’s GP Rotary GT automatic. Needs a clean and bracelet changed.

No watches i'm afraid, just some original advertising. No fool like an old fool, posted in the wrong section 🙁

This Rattrapante Omega stopwatch has just arrived to day 😀

Ref. MG 1135, cal. 1210 from ca. 1966, love the blued hands and the movement 😀

Fantastic looking watch. Enjoy!

This is not my purchase, but a big surprise from my wife. There is a backstory, but bottom line I have acquired my dream watch....74st with an immaculate dial and excellent patina. I’m just floored.

Next step: extract from the archives application 🥰

My buddy from the US came with my purchase (avoiding import tax). Been really impressed with this micro brand..The first modern watch I've ever bought. wonderful build quality and finishing..Apologies for the dark photos...
