Well I had to go ahead and do it.... I bought are you all ready for this; drum roll please. A stainless steel wristwatch! A 145.009 Chronostop to be exact. I really looking forward to getting it. Pic from seller:

 

You should re-upload the first image so we can see the dial! Mine is displaying the image like 50x50

 

Done. My bad about that. Curious why so little discussion about the chronostop?

 

Killer.....Love it - I have similar taste! Bracelet is what brings it together imo. Congrats on the newest addition!

Thanks. It's actually an aftermarket bracelet. It came up at the right price on eBay so I jumped.

 

Awe, thought it was original to the piece. Looks great non the less.

 

Thanks. Now I wait

 

stainless???
why stainless? Its not worth anything

 

It was around $500 so I played by my rules.

 

A lot of members own, or have owned Geneve Chronostops.

Cool little watches - they can be picked up very reasonably, but service isn't cheap, and it's easy to spend the same amount on a service as what you paid for the watch.

Not sure how much discussion you'd expect... or what on?

 

I was just saying that I didn't see a lot of threads dealing with chronostops that's all. For what they cost they are really cool watches that can be enjoyed everyday especially with the parts availability. Service isn't cheap for most fairly complicated watches; ask me how I know.

Because the massive amount of Speedmaster threads drown out everything else.

 

Thread from a couple of weeks back on the larger cased Seamaster variety:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/lets-see-those-seamaster-chronostops.48150/

If you search the forum, Chronostops come up fairy often.

 

Chronostops are nifty, anybody have an original SS bracelet ? Not around much in good shape.

I've two, but only one bracelet.

 

I've got a 145.007



I believe it's on the original bracelet.

 

I have the driver version as well as a jumbo chronostop and I am looking out for a deville chronostop fontana version. I find them very comfortable to wear so they both get a lot of wrist time. (Well, not now because I only brought a Swatch watch with me to Malawi. I was advised that bringing anything that looks valuable would probably end up on the wrist of a traffic policeman sooner rather than later. Not sure if that is true, but I have had to pay a few bribes to officials for various things)

 

With the way gold prices have been dropping, it's probably good you are finally going over to stainless steel

 

Actually trying to jump into platinum. . Coins and bars for now; soon enough I'll find a good priced platinum watch.

 

i have a chronostop jumbo which i bought as it came with extract from omega archive dating it to 1969 as wanted a birthday watch
