Thanks for the welcome Steve.

...and as you asked, here are some pics 馃榾

My Speedmaster (cal 861, approx 1985) - sorry, I don't have pics of it on the 1450 bracelet (I took it off so it didn't get damaged). [



1970 Seamaster Chronograph, cal 861 (that's a hair by the second hand, not a crack)



and a Baume & Mercier I have mostly used as a smart work watch (Hampton Milleis Chrono)



and I have 2 or 3 others knocking about that are less interesting...

That Seamaster chrono looks pretty badass, very 1970s

Is that a pie pan on that yeti? I'm noticing a lot of Aussies in this forum. And that's not a bad thing, but I'm wondering why. I, for one, am forever grateful for the many Aussie contributions to modern society. Lets see...there was Crocodile Dundee, of course....The Man From Snowy River (my sister thought he was dreamy)....Mel Gibson (if you're Jewish, please ignore that one)...Olivia "HUBBA HUBBA in 1975" Newton-John...can I count Finding Nemo even though it was just set in Australia? Am I missing anything? I thought I would not mention (but I did) the dingo ate my baby lady, since I have a feeling Aussies are sensitive on that subject....like Americans and Tom Cruise or Ted Bundy.

Does Watchco use it's shipping fees to fund an Australian national healthcare initiative? I think everything costs 25 to ship....even if you are only buying a sweep seconds hand.

Now if you can just photoshop a pie pan on that guy's wrist....


Nah, a Speedmaster would be more ironic.

Hello all,
Found this forum while looking for info on a De Ville I purchased.

I'm not new to Omega. I wear a Seamaster that I purchased when I turned 40. I had been to a local jeweler a couple of times looking at Rolex. I had made up my mind to buy a Submariner. When I went to make my purchase, the Omegas caught my eye. By chance I tried on a Seamaster. It was the watch for me. I have been wearing it for almost 14 years. It does come off occasionally.
