·I’m a new member here, and have been lurking for a while as well. I finally took the dive on a vintage watch, a 1968 Omega Seamaster Jumbo. It’s been serviced and runs like a champ. It came on the original bracelet, but it’s a bit tight on my wrist, so I put it on a Delugs strap. I’m super happy with it!

·Continuing my resolution to only buy bigger pieces. This JLC Reverso Duoface 270.8.54 is from the early 2000s and measure 43mm x 26mm. It's the perfect size for my smaller wrist.
I looked at different variations of this Duoface and I like this one the best. The white face has the rectangular small seconds and the "Jaeger LeCoultre" is more readable compared to other versions that has it blended with the guilloche. The black dial has the 3, 9, and 12 markers which enhances the readability. I'm okay with the tritium lime color. I refer it to be a white color though.
The watch cost $6,500 plus tax, which is much cheaper than the new version at $13k.
I would love to get a JLC with a moonphase or other complications but those are just too big at 49mm.
Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

·Delivery yesterday!
Found it on an auction and just had to have it!
A really cool watch, but I don't know the reference...😗
So somebody might know it?
It feels like a far away cousin to the Speedy!??

··Sunburst dial fanWell, this arrived today. An eBay auction in which (to my surprise) I was the only bidder at $270. The seller described it as excellent and, now it’s arrived, I agree with him.
It has a long service inscription from 1974 and looks as though it has never been worn. The strap is a replacement but if anyone can tell me if the buckle is original or not, I’d be grateful. Given the condition of the watch, I’m inclined to say it is.
