··Melbourne AustraliaIn such company I'm not sure if these will measure up, but they are the only true NOS Swiss watches that I have.

·Here are some that came to me in unworn condition, as far as I can tell.
...and these spacey ones were very near NOS:

··Mrs Nataf's Other SonYou just reminded me of my own bullet-cased AF/P
The green Zenith with the integrated bracelet
One of the slab-cased Defys
and then there was this amazing find - the G 382 - found by a guy who empties out foreclosed properties in preparation for bank auction. He found it with the crystal broken (I have a suspicion he might have broken it while emptying out boxes) but otherwise pristine - no evidence of wear on it at all.
note nary a mark on the screw heads.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoFortunate enough to have many NOS vintage omegas - here is one not NOS but in great shape - worn a few times (enough to put a small scratch in the crystal) but hasn't even been serviced (or opened for that matter). It has its original steel stretch bracelet of course.

Knowing that you would only want as original examples as possible, I want to know what year that's from. Some knowledge from all you Speedmaster freaks seems to be rubbing off on me. The dot over 90 and the metal Ω symbol on the dial tell me it's pre-1970 and either a very early transitional 861 or a 321 from one of the last years. Knowing that there are more from some years than others around, odds say that it's a '67. Is there any giveaway from the caseback or the style of hands that would tell me otherwise?

The brushing on the lugs identifies this reference - 105.012-66 and of course a cal. 321.

I would expect you to show some solidarity with the less fortunate and at least show us one each day - to keep the thread going and the saliva running...
It is your duty. 😀

·You have all seen this one before and I am sorry for the bad pic. It is not NOS but as MSNWatch wrote above about his speedy it is in great shape. And it is in better shape than the pics can tell. The main problem is "opening scratches" on back. Some f****************n i*****t could not use the tool correctly in its past.
As MSNWatch: es speedy it is not NOS but I believe neither his nor mine waters down this thread very much.
Keep them coming...🤩

I don't know if I like the bezel or the medallion on that better. We'll call it a drool..... er, draw.
ps - "idiot" or "nitwit" would have been perfectly fine to type in your post, and in this case I think we all would have excused or even endorsed the use of the f-bomb.

I almost called dibs, too! The Nivada Antarctic is a special piece!
