@blacksharpie @gemini4 @OMGRLX I was going to purchase a 120 from this seller but I think it's the same guy selling bogus cases/dials/hands again. Different name ("hhpart99" - others were "qqpart11" and "timeq22" ) but it's close to the others that were mentioned, also coming from California. Can you confirm and/or report the listingPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network?

 

No. But you can post pics of he watch you are considering

 

@gemini4 thanks anyway, I'm no longer considering it.

 

That same watch again and again... apparently useless to report it

 

hey .. do u still have the handset for the 120 ? ... is it just the hour and minute or do u have the second sweep hand as well ? ,,,,

 

So I was going to post a full on thread with all the pictures I got, but as this thread is specific about the 120 I thought I'd start here. In short my father in law's best friend, since 14 years old, currently has stage 4 lung cancer, and is trying to liquidate assets before he passes, since he has no savings, etc. to leave his wife. I offered to see what I could do with some of the watches he has. Now this guy has collected literal totes - yes the big ones - full of watches over the years. Nothing too expensive though. He does have some vintage omega, and one of the ones he has is a manual wind 120 with the box and papers from what I understand. It's not pristine by any means, but it is single owner since new, and I seriously doubt he ever had it serviced by Omega. I only have one picture of it at the moment, but I'd like to get him a fair price for it.

 

If the watch comes with original box and papers than it's quite rare. It's the 135.027 model.

 

Here's mine:

 

minus the ORIGINAL handset ... which i have stored away .... mine

 

136.027:

 

165.027:

 

I hope you are going to post a wrist shot of a 166.027 next ;-)

 

Coming up! Two of them! I had a 120 period...

 

Cool, you've nearly got as many as Gemini4.
What do you mean by 'had', are you over it now and moved onto something else?

 

Yep. I've spend a year collecting the four and than I had a problem. What next? So I bought another 165.027...

 

Which model is your favourite out of the four?

 

For me the 136.027. It's also the hardest of the four to source.

 

And there is a 19 jewel 120 made for the US which I dont have. That one is quite rare as well.

 

Yes, your example of that one is very nice.
Are they all keepers or are you considering letting some go?

 

Also there are some different coloured variants in burgundy, green and blue
