    A friend visited a retired watchmaker recently. After insisting, the latter told him he still had an old omega that had never been sold. He opened a drawer and pulled out this beauty.

    Nice find at the watchmaker. Hopefully he was willing to sell and at a reasonable price.

    That really is amazing. One of the few watches that appear that really does deserve the title NOS.

    I am usually sceptical when I see NOS but yours is truly exceptional. The question is would you wear it. I know I would want to but then it is no longer that original pristene watch...a delimma for me.

    Oh my! If a picture that watch was next to the word 'NOS' in a dictionary, I'd give it more than one nod. :D

    Great find. the lines on the case look so sharp!
    I have the same model so it's interesting to compare it with your photos. I don't think I've seen the squiggly line, on the caseback below the sea monster, before.

    Perhaps the photos should be copied to gemini4's Seamaster 120 thread

    Yes I bought the watch, but it will sit in my safe. I have another one in used condition that I can wear :)
    My friend also has the original omega leather band that was on the watch,
    he will give it to me soon.

    Wow, what a beauty. Mine looks sooo different (but I like it though). The dents on the bezel are gone....
