·I keep coming back to this regularly. My first thought was disbelief. I was trying to find a problem, because I couldn't believe that this could be real.
This is the kind of stuff we are all in this for. Congratulations, this must have been a lucky constellation of skill, luck and mojo.

Love a good waffle dial.
My first waffle dial. Came on a super cool BOR too. I absolutely love it.
Enjoying the Connie before I let it go too. Full set too.. Can’t keep everything!

·Here’s an unusual one. 1959 Constellation 14381. Not an uncommon reference, but a very uncommon dial variant. This was a special order model. It has solid white gold arrowhead markers with rhodium plating and the factory “special luminous package” (note the radium lume dots ON TOP of the 1,2,4,5,7,8,10 and 11 markers. The hands are lumed as well. This model also contains one of the 20,000 caliber 551 movements in the 17,000,000 serial range that achieved “especially good results” in Omega’s accuracy testing. Rounding out this variant was a special low profile crystal and a decagonal crown. The crystal and crown were replaced at some point, but I have the correct ones coming in. Quite the rare bird.

··@SpeedyBirthYearA quick snap of my “new” acquisition, this one might be familiar to some of the regulars out here… Now solidly part of my collection. 😁
Time to get the polywatch out.

·Needed a new one as my old one's battery was not lasting long enough for my long runs

·I received this in full set from first owner today. Now, bear with me: When I saw it on sale locally, I was torn, because of the Hublot, etc vibes it emits.
Looking at it from another perspective however, it is an El Primero in an unorthodox presentation. The execution is excellent, the dial looks far from cheap in light / under the loupe and the details are sharp, as one would expect from Zenith. On the functional side, it has a smooth, high-beat, running seconds hand and a chronograph option, which makes more sense in the real world then a full chrono.
Size is another concern, but that is an individual problem. 😀
At the prices that these can be bought occasionally, I think it is an intriguing value proposition. I came back from a surgery today and needed to reward myself with something smallish. In any case, I was skeptical before seeing it in the "flesh", but I am very happy with it.

·Oh, and I also got these today in the mail. Had to buy them as well, as one rarely stumbles upon a good example at reasonable price. These run well, the dial is great, only the hands are later service hands, but that doesn't bother me at all on these.

A companion watch (non chrono) for my dial less Delbana Landeron 48 and some flyback return springs for it and the two other Landeron 48s that lost their 'paperclips.'
Watches do not like to be lonely.

·Accutron Spaceview 891 with 214H movement and vintage Accutron Bracelet.
Tissot PRX 35mm quartz, because if you are going to get a reissue of a 1978 quartz watch it may as well be quartz. It is a nice, no-worries, fun piece and a good value at $300.

·Just arrived today, a gorgeous Titus Calypsomatic 7986 with a stunning dial, beautifully faded bezel, original big crown, and lovely caseback. A fun little detail is the date rotates between red for even numbers and a navy blue for odd. The scratch between 4 & 5 is on the crystal and not the dial.

Very nice, much better condition than the ratty ones that usually come up on Ebay. Those look great on the original BOR bracelets if you can find one. Congrats on the find!
