Greetings from Chile!

Hello there! Happy to be here. Saying Hola from Chile. By day I’m pretty tech-focused, so people are always a little surprised when they see me wearing something this old-school - I guess it doesn’t fit the profile they expect. But I’ve gotten really into vintage watches, poking around flea markets, antique shops, and private sellers looking for cool pieces.

My favorite is a circa-1911 Omega pocket watch, gunmetal case, that I found near my hometown. This one’s not going anywhere - it’s a keeper. I like to pair it with a Hickok USA vest chain when I wear it out, it just feels right together.

The second one is as recent as today - a cushion-case Omega wristwatch I picked up somewhat on impulse off a local marketplace listing. White dial, Arabic numerals, small seconds at 6. Around 1930-31 going by the usual serial charts. Wasn’t planning on buying it but couldn’t resist, and honestly it pairs nicely with the pocket watch - same era, same maker, just a different format.

Glad to be part of the community - always happy to nerd out about case backs, movements, and the hunt for a good deal.
