Great watches 👍

A single point - I don't think the 2635 reference is a Seamaster, branded or not. Doesn't detract though 😀
According to omega it is. I don’t care either way

Just came in last week. I have a thing for 60's skin divers. The Venus will be getting a polished mesh bracelet which I think will look better than the leather strap...which is rather comfortable.

Venus: 36mm, ETA 2425 automatic



Duxot: 38mm, Felsa 4002 automatic

Already posted a separate thread on this, but what the hell. I’m celebrating.

I've gone full circle with this one. The 2531.80 SMP300 was the piece that got me into this hobby several years ago. Regrettably, I had to sell it and haven't stopped thinking about it since. I am happy to finally say I have it back in my hands. Not my original piece but a gorgeous example.

I apparently sleep bought it, because I had looked at it a couple of times and decided against it. Then it showed up and I discovered I'd ordered it at 2:45 in the morning. Apparently this is in the collection now.

Classy and classic... Being a small worst guy, I got the midsize one, and the "normal" Chrono one.
I don't wear them much but they are both surely a keeper!!

Enjoy it

I have always been curious to try the midsize as I really like that size and the dial/hand proportions. The 41mm fits me just fine but I really like tool watches in the 36-39mm range. One day I’ll find one to see how it fits. And thank you! I’m happy to be reunited again 😀 I love this piece

While I don’t think anything (yet!) can unseat my PP5227R as the true-love / one-and-done, this one comes very close. I must pick a very specific nit, and it has to do with my terrible eyesight: the hands are just a bit too similar to be easily, quick-glance, readable. So what, though? I’ll adapt!

It has a pleasant and unexpected heft, but wears superbly. It’s a dream piece, and I feel unbelievably fortunate to own it.

From the end of 2021, I hit the two watch that I followed for more than 1 year.

1995 - Omega De Ville Prestige
Ref 45403100 - Cal. 861

I think it’s a great and underrated chrono, for an elegant style.

1969 - Omega Constellation
Ref 168.029 Cal 751

Linen Dial and gold Bazel are beautiful.

I had a very good week with 2 gorgeous arrivals 😀
Here is the first one, from fellow member @vujen
I had a NOS JB Champion bracelet that fits it perfectly imo
