    I posted this when I won it at auction but it has just arrived home (in the UK -I've yet to lay hands on it) but I'm so pleased that I just had to share
    Photos courtesy of Mrs Peemacgee

    With hang tag -didn't expect that -and the certificate is still in its cellophane packet!
    £300 (with discount) in 1965 -when I believe the average salary was around £50/month
    (anybody know how I identify the specific NAAFI by its number?)

    168.005, cal 561, cross hair dome dial, '65
    Gold indices onyx inserts
    Original Omega stretchy bracelet thing
    Replacement crown (but an old one by the looks of things) and crystal -but I think I can put up with that
    Happy happy happy.......

    I have to have that bracelet. Ultimate 70's/80's feel, when woman were wearing them to hold up their sleeves if I remember my mom correctly hehe.
