This arrived from an auction house today The content reflects the variation in my collecting vintage Omega very well First an Omega 8 days, caliber 59-8D that have been on a Swedish marine vessel where they use these teak cases fastend to the wall, it have the Swedish marin stamp with 3 crowns and an inventory number. Next a nice Seamaster F300 Chronometer ref. 198.0016, cal. 1250, from 1972. Nice big 42 mm. case (without the crown) At last an Omega listed as a lady's watch at the auction and of course there were no interest for it, but i guessed it had to be a CK3516, and a mans watch, and it was one of those with a cal. T17 from 1937
Great catch! I had a good feeling about the "women's" watch too, and was drawn to the f300 as well - the condition is really something else
@tdn-dk - the real question - do you put the marine chronometer on a gold chain and wear it around your neck or put some a nice leather strap through the screw-holes and wear it on your 16.75" wrist?
Nice pics and package For a second there I thought the mods would have some clean up work....got a nice package
Does the ships clock have radium or tritium lume on the numbers and hands?\ If the ships clock was not signed as Omega, you could probably recognize it as such because of the baton hands and dial styiling.
All lovely, but that Seamaster... It pushes my buttons. I also have to give you credit for your garden/nature settings for your photos. I enjoy them here and in that almost-worthless FB group.
Please do not post any more pics of deliveries to your house! First item in that package made me go "Oooooooo Ahhhhhhh!". The next made me go "Faaaaaaaaarkin' Elllllllllllll!" The last made mo go "WTF!!!!!!" and nearly pass out with envy. For my safety, please do not do it again!
