Picked up my first speedy gonna enjoy this for a while but creating goals for my next haha

 

14K Solid Gold Linen Dial 1960 Seamaster Caliber 560, added a vintage Omega boar strap and a 14K buckle. Box & Papers. It is hypnotic to look at. Sourced on the Forum. Thank you @X350 XJR

 

Now this is amazing! Very beautiful catch dear. Wear it in good health.

 

I added my first Panerai and first watch that's beyond 42 mm. It wears very comfortable on my 7" wrist.

 

Just bought this and awaiting arrival. Hopefully it’ll be as nice as this seller’s photo.

 

Forgot to post this, arrived last Friday. Brand new Vostok Komandirskie Paratrooper.

I've paid more for single malt Scotch so I consider this a bargain.



The bracelet had an extremely good mirror finish, which didn't suit my intentions of using it as a tool watch, so I re-brushed the bracelet on a nylon grit wheel.

Not sure if I should do the bezel as well?

 

Well, if it doesn’t work out, at the price you paid, you can buy another one and start all over again

 

Picked up this guy a couple of days ago. Im pretty sure it is a ref 2639 ( correct me if Im wrong ). Crown is stuck, the crystal has some scratches. I just dropped it of at the watchmakers for a treatment to correct the deviations

 

Ended up with this badboy today

 

Arrived a couple of weeks ago - BAAZ was a small design outfit here in New Zealand that assembled watches in the 70's and '80's from Swiss parts. No idea how many were made but couldn't pass up on this skin diver with a burgundy/crimson dial...

 

How about watch-related? MWO 3rd Edition arrived today from the UK - not available here in NZ so it's been a long journey...

Worried now that an unconstrained urge to acquire more Speedies will result from reading...

 

I've always really liked those and have been thinking about getting one for a while!

 

Just acquired this nice 145.022.72T '71 step-dial

 

I know this is years late... I inherited this watch from my dad. He died maybe 10 years ago. I was visiting a jewelry shop my grandpa used to own, and they brought me out this watch from a safe. Do you know any more details about it?

 

A new GMT. Never had a meteorite dial


It goes well with the aventurine version

 

My 166.010 with a 565 movement has now arrived, all the way from Japan.



The seller was frank about the defects (which appear minimal), said, in response to my query about servicing, that it had been 'overhauled' in March and sent me a copy of the service assessment (in English and Japanese).



Anyway, it’s just what I wanted and (I think) as nice as I’d hoped.

 

I've been lusting after the '57 Trilogy Railmaster for quite some time now, and thanks to timing, and justifying the budget "because I'm not spending money on tolls and fuel commuting to work", I finally pulled the trigger!

 

And another I forgot to post a couple weeks ago. 1952 14k Omega Model 2684. Both acquired from fine OF members!
Also just noticed the Railmaster was my 100th post!! Woohoo! Half way to being able to NOT sell either of these any time soon.

 

Batman..
