I'll join. Black hobnail:


A stunner! And the bracelet is the cherry on the the cake.

Coincidentally wearing this one today. And since the thread has already been bumped up I thought I might join as well.


Very nice! Mine says hello, the one I started this thread with 😀

I may have posted this 600 before. This time, it is wearing a no-name bracelet which I personally think suits the watch - and I hope you all do too, because I was tired and on my way to bed, and as the last bracelet switching, I just wanted to try this. Little did I notice that I swapped the bracelet from a watch with drilled lugs and I failed to spot the shoulderless spring bars 🤬 so now it is a permanent installation.



As mentioned in many posts, it often pays off to buy from a lousy listing photo. This is no exception.
I sourced a complete set of original hands from eBay.

Hope I might be forgiven for showing this one yet again. I inherited this one in pieces, about 45 years ago. It was totally dismantled, and the parts all mixed in with a bunch of ‘50s vintage bumper Omega parts in a lozenge tin. I discovered the dial in 2018, and that piqued my interest. I sorted through four or five dismantled movements to find the rest of the calibre 355 (date at 6:00) movement parts. Everything was there except for the case. Made a running watch out of the pieces, acquired a case, and this is the result.

Can someone please explain to me what is the difference between honeycomb and waffle dial?

This unique two tone wave dial 2577 Seamaster came back from service recently. I’ve only seen one other that I can remember, and that dial was repainted unfortunately (same texture and markers, though).

I will take a stab at this and say that the waffle pattern is oriented perpendicular/horizontally and the honeycomb in oriented at a 45 degree angle.

Pretty uncommon to find a honeycomb dial in the 2938 cases I think, but here is mine 😀
