A clean T-serial Datejust with box and paper.
Great second track on that 😎

I picked this one up a few weeks ago. Just had a chance to take it diving last week:


How do you like the U50? Is it as great as it looks? 🥰🥰

not the dial?

too much writing of two lines texts "chron0@#$%^&&*" on the dial, not to my taste

caseback , not to my taste at all, noes not want to bother to take the photo

I would be happier if omega offers the dial text say "automatic" instead, and steel case back


what i have been dreaming was this elusive https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-seamaster-omega-ck-2577,
practically i am unable to source, probably unable to afford even if I came across a decent one
so, I just grabbed whatever is on the table now

in other words, i cannot find / afford a real one, so just settle to a replica / imitation / emulation / clone / reproduction / reissue / fake / homage made by omega 😁😁😁

It really is!

The amazing thing about the Sinn U1/U50 design is how unique it is. The watch doesn't feel like a derivative of any other brand, and that uniqueness really holds your attention.

Sort of funny, like many of you I have spent tens of thousands over the years on watches BUT this is the first brand new watch I have bought that was over $500. Have a spent large sums on vintage pieces but never bought a new Omega until today. 😁

A King Seiko 4420-9990 won at an auction and turned out to be in very pleasant condition. Just needing some magic from the watchmaker.

My kinda watch - 1960s Hamilton with a sunburst dial all the way from the Sunshine State.

My first Hamilton.

Mrs Spruce says it looks very nice but just like “all your other watches”.

To be frank, given that these are the three most recent watches I’ve bought - I concede that she may have a point 🙄

As we seem to be doing triplets at the moment.

I just got these 3 back from my WM this morning after repairs and servicing, relatively major work on each of them.

Caravelle was a 2 into one and needed the hairspring recoiled amongst other things, the 2nd donar Caravelle will live again if I can find a third identical one.

The Owix Eastmaster needed parts, new winding gear, crown and stem and the Citizen a part to sort the daywheel.
Plus of course new glass for all.
