    I like Speedmasters.
    But this little 321 Chronograph grabbed my attention while I was snuffling for nuts at a watch show...

    Obviously I know NOTHING about this, but I like it.

    Must be a patina attraction ::love:: I just picked up this early 2648-1 Constellation with patina..too aged for some.. But these are pretty rare.

    Went on a BIN sometime today.

    I wasn't sure if there was something wrong with it, or if it was an uncommon 2 hand version of the 885 - so I left it alone. When I got home this evening, it had gone.

    If you saved the link any chance you could PM it to me?

    I initially started collected these little tank deco Omega.

    That's spectacular! One of the late Aero-compaxes. I hope you are planning on giving it a thread of its own.

    Are those subdials really tiny or is the watch really big? Looks cool as either way

    Yes I will Sir.

    Yeah it's big for the period, 41mm. And yes the chronograph registers are tiny.:D
