    Black and gold Croton Aquamatic. Pics suck but it looks to be in good shape, seller says running well. Smallish at 32mm as to be expected but I love these black&tan combos.

    Stainless Wyler with a great looking dial. Seller says running which is a good start. Probably around 33mm, and comes with a Bradux stretch bracelet. The bracelet is the gem as it’s a Swiss made version of the KC Expandro, the only stretchy I like. These are fabulous bracelets. 10 links so should fit a 7.25” loosely and 7.5 with a little stretch as they are meant to be worn. Links can be added or removed without tools usually. If you buy the watch and don’t like the bracelet, send it to me.

    Thought i would take the opportunity to wish this thread a Happy 1st Birthday :D

    I remember it being locked down during its infancy, thank goodness it was allowed to live.

    A shout out to @pIoNeErOfThEnILe for your efforts in starting the thread & fighting to have it restored :thumbsup:

    A big thanks to all the Enablers for your efforts, much appreciated :thumbsup:

    Here are my 2 purchases so far that have been recommended on here

    Hard to believe it’s been a year!
    Special thanks to @Bill Sohne @X350 XJR and @Dan S for providing some great counterpoint on what a “bargain” can mean even if it’s substantial money to most, and all that have made this the most fun and lively thread on the forum IMO.

    As I’ve said before, it feels like we are all walking together through a bazaar and going table to table, pointing out fun or unique watches for whomever wants to grab them. The education and conversation that goes with them is worth more than the watches themselves.
    Although it has been slow lately (most likely due to less yard/boot/estate sale listing by pickers) - I am feeling a change in the winds as things open back up and some great values are sure to come.

    I enjoy this one as well.
    Think I have made two purchases on the very rare occasions some European ones are posted here, and im sure I posted pics of them.

    Very much enjoy the informtive posts of @JwRosenthal and it is shame that @Bill Sohne has stopped posting in here

    Happy birthday to this great thread. I really found my feet through this thread and I have learned a lot from the generous hearts of @JwRosenthal and @wagudc to mention a few. Here's to another year of bargains for all of our fellow members!

    It's been a fun year on this thread, elsewhere has been mixed. Lots for me to learn on this thread and elsewhere on the forums.

    Thank you to everyone in this thread for their time searching for the deals and posting them. I learned a lot and look forward to learning more in 2021. It’s fun and addicting to find the hidden gems that are affordable. I’ve bought several from this thread and enjoy them all. Hope everyone has a great 2021 and we continue to find some cool watches.

    I'm currently looking for an 'Ed White'... this looks like a decent watch, but I'm not comfy with the 'SP story' - I'm sure it is totally legit, but I'd prefer a 'regular' 105.003 :)

    You should start a new thread in the vintage omega section. This thread is for sharing good value watches we find for others to buy.

    Which is exactly what I've done. That ^ is a good value watch that 'others' can buy.

    I even wrote that I wasn't interested in it.
