    greetings,

    Incoming 32khz Megaquartz 196.0038. Bracelet is original but one of the end links is a miss-match. Not worried because it's going on leather anyway, no sense in going nuts looking for an end link I doubt I'll ever find. I'll probably sell the bracelet, I'm sure someone could use it. If someone knows the bracelet reference number or the end link I need, that'd be great. I'm not holding out much hope though.

    She's working well too, and since I paid so little, I'm pretty darn happy.

    Little damage of the dial paint near the tritium plots but this is expected, happened a lot with 1970s dials in blue across Omega and Rolex.

    Lemme know what you think image.png image.png image.png image.png image.png

    Seems these don't have much a following around here.

    yeah ... I often so those and always wonder if its something worthwhile pursuing ...

    what are your thoughts on a more "historic" angle ... could those electronic hummers ever become "the next big thing / flavour of the year"?

    they were made in low numbers, have a place in history ... donno ...

    cheers

    I doubt they'll ever be too popular since replacement parts are unfindable. They're all living on borrowed time sadly but this one pulls strong. I like that it ticks once per second. So far it's dead on

    Nice watch .My megahertz is the first omega watch I bought and I love it. Idoubt too that they will ever be popular but I don't care really, it brings a smile to my face when I put it on and that is all that really matters . Enjoy your watch

    Thanks!

    Hard to beat the size too. It's very substantial!

    I hope they won't become too popular. I love their looks. New pic with the proper endlink?

    It came out of the box and the spousal unit said, from across the room no less: "oh god, you gonna buy a wide collar shirt to go with that?"
