Ah Yes, it's the very obscure "Omega DIBS eye popping makes me DIBS insanely jealous what a beauty DIBS most amazing dial DIBS" model. This model is well known for triggering the "Omega Tourette Episodes" among WIS.
This UG Military Style just arrived from woodwkr2. A beautifully neat and simple piece. Thanks, Byron!
My feeble attempt to draw your eyes away from the face of the model to the treasure of the body has failed...
I liked the original commercial better: Transformers? Really? I like Kias. Nice well made cars for the money. High resale value. The dealer took out my father's lease a full year early and put him in another Optima at the same payment with no out-of-pocket. I'm sure Windy will love it. gatorcpa
This came in the mail today... after a little clean up and polywatch looks great An Eterna-Matic 3000 Automatic ref. 146T, Cal1456U from ~1962
Bought this one a week ago, but couldn't post a picture earlier. CK 994 with T17 inside : I also had a redial for this other T17 : quite close to the only catalog illustration I found on the web for this watch :

I could never drive a car like that. I'm such a lousy driver! I love it though. Have fun driving it although will have to wait at least another 6 months to take full advantage.
Hamilton Gladstone in white gold-fill, from about the early '30s. It's surprisingly difficult to find an all-original Gladstone in fine condition, without brassing or poor dial/hands. I say surprisingly because overall this is a relatively common watch to find (about 16,500 wgf and 4600 green gf produced) -- but the wide bezel was apparently very susceptible to wear from starched shirt cuffs! I previously owned another wgf with perfect case but refinished luminous dial, and ggf with very apparent brassing on the bezel corners. It also came with a much less common enamel-printed stylized Arabic numeral dial (which I'd love to find someday). But overall very happy with this one! It's a large watch by vintage standards. This is the enamel-printed dial not often found:
Been snarfing up a few things on the bay, nothing really that exciting but my kid took my Omega pen so I needed a replacement:
One of the legendary 662 Ref. 32A's produced in 1966 and 1967 with it's original strap. Girard-Perregaux manufactured 662 wristwatches with the Calibre 32A High Frequency movements, which beat at 36,000 BPM. All 662 movements were sent to the Neuchatel observatory who tested in 6 positions and 3 temperatures then certified them as Chronometers and issued Bulletins de Marche for each unit with the additional commendation of 'especially good results'. These 32A's were not specially prepared slow beat movements that were never intended to be publically sold. These were production watches that were all sold to the public. Girard Perregaux selected 40 of these movements for further testing by the Neuchatel Observatory. These 40 movements were tested for another 45 days, it was these 40 that became the legendary Girard Perregaux Observatory Chronometers.
