·This Geneve wouldn't usually catch my eye, but I noticed it was on a 1035 flatlink so I bid on it. I figured I can pass the watch on and use the bracelet on something else, not sure what watches the #630 endlinks will fit.
It was hard to judge the condition from the photos, so it will be interesting to see what shows up. Hopefully I didn't miss something obvious.

·Yet to arrive, however, nabbed this Omega ‘Tank’ at auction on the Bay this morning. Seller only provided two pictures, so somewhat of a gamble - the same example was discussed here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-t17.83401/

·Just back from a full service my new to me Montine Inflight.
When I got it from the auction the push the crown to change the date did not work and looking at the crown it appeared to be wider than the slot in the case so I suspected a crown change was responsible for the lack of date change on push so mentioned to my WM.
On further research I found all the online images of this watch were identical to my crown so I told my watch maker that it was likely an original crown and not change it.
When I picked it up I asked if the push date change was working and he said no, will need to change the crown for a smaller one, Oh well, I pushed the crown in and voila the date changed, my WM couldn't beleive his eyes lol
Not that it would have been too great an issue as the movement also has a quick change 9 to 12 action as do most others, seems a bit odd that they would have both, a quality movement indeed!

··Sunburst dial fanAwful Seller’s photos, but I’ve taken a chance and despite my understandable concerns about the eBay 'private listing - bidder identity protected', I’ve taken a chance.
Obviously, these are the ‘before' photos but the Seller says, ‘it’s running and keeps good time', and offers 14 days return, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Oh, and it came in at £330, which I thought was about right.
