·I bought this omega chronostop on ebay the other day and the guy who sold it hand delivered to my house and im very happy with my purchase. Its a bit smaller than my other watches but looks great on and very clean.

I really enjoy the size of these. I don't wear mine as much as I used to but I always enjoy when I do!
I'd love to track down one of those deployment clasps some day.

·Yes those straps are quite hard to find in good condition being correct for the Chronostop originally. I felt the strap was a bit too feminine (due to the width and lightweight clasp) and managed to sell it for £100. I put it towards the servicing which was a bit more expensive than usual as my watchmaker classed it as a Chronograph.

·Good morning, first post on here. I was keeping an eye on this on eBay, it looked lovely! Is it in need of a service?
I have just found myself a nice 146.009 Chronostop, freshly serviced from a reputable watchmaker. It arrives next week. I’ll post a pic up when I receive it. Hopefully it’s as nice as yours!
Regards. Paul.

How is the lume now? That’s the one thing I love about new watches is the lume. There’s a little glow ar 12 o o’clock but that’s it

·Hard to find with original strap and elongated buckle without an engraving. One of my all time favorite models.

When I had the watch serviced Omega replaced the original hands (returned to me) but they were slightly different as originals no longer available. This is why I had the original hands relumed and refitted - the original lume had gone black.
I have just checked and the 12 o'clock marker and the hands all have a matching small glow that fades quickly. The lume in the 12 o'clock marker is original so a good match. The lume dot markers around the outside of the dial do not have any glow at all.
