Found this on eBay.I had been looking for ages for one and it’s a beauty.

The older omega quartz's are something I am having as a new interest. They have some sort of charm built into I don't know how to explain properly.

I must've died and gone to heaven
'Cause it was quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing
It was clear that she was from another time

An early 70s Longines Olympian fresh off the mail truck. It needs a little work, but I'm digging it. It runs great, and came on the original (sort of charmingly flimsy, with half the gold plating flaked off) signed bracelet, which I enjoyed for a bit, but it's nice to have a strap that brings out the blue of the dial.

Finally managed to find some time to take some photos of this recent arrival of the Gallet Multichron 12 'Jim Clark' from fellow OFer @pdxleaf. Over the moon with this one!

A stunner!
