    After buying one of these...

    I then bought these nice leather bracelets at a local fleamarket. All original NOS and size wise will fit and replace the badly worn ones on my Connie and Seamaster Deep Blue.

    A new crystal for my Mk2 Speedie. They didn't have any with nice caramel markings, so this one will have to do.

    You know you can always add your own caramel and bake a bit, right? :p

    three Omegas this week :
    A 14702CSC-2 from 1959
    [​IMG]

    An unusual black dialed CK 2064 'Naiad' :
    [​IMG]

    And a CK2008 with integrated crown from 1937 :
    [​IMG]

    OK still some work to do on all of them : the Genève needs new second and hour hands, the Naiad needs a proper crown a,d the 2008 a proper second hand (I have it, just need to swap it), but I like them.

    Visited an auction house and left a cheeky wee bid on a mixed bag, some pocket money less and it was mine.
    Think you will be able to spot what I did -

    IMG_4054.JPG
    A pretty "mingin" bunch -

    IMG_4057.jpg IMG_4058.jpg IMG_4059.jpg
    A little "spit and polish" (more required) and I think "I won a watch" in fact it's my first Moon Watch :) dating from 1908

    IMG_4099.JPG
    IMG_4063.jpg
    IMG_4064.jpg
    IMG_4069.jpg

    The rest of the bunch, a surprisingly tidy Timex, sunburst dial dating from 1967. Smiths Empire requiring a crystal and a ladies Ergo in silver. They may all be released but the Waltham I admit may just hang on for a while -
