    Hi, just a newbie as a collector, but this is my top purchase so far :)

    Mint Seamaster XVI Melbourne 1956. It would be nice to see other vintage olympics...

    Very nice watch. 1st time I've seen a vintage Omega Olympic watch. These are mine.

    1964 Tokyo Olympics Seiko 45899 watch with Olympic torch logo on the back case.

    and another 64 Tokyo Olympics Seiko 5717 watch also with a torch logo on the back case.
