·Hey all.
It's been an awful long time since I posted here. Alot has happened since Covid, and my interest in the hobby dwindled as such.
However, I was on the lookout for a nice 165.024 and a few OF established members had reached out to me about a sale. I was keen however I had to be financially responsible so I declined.
I decided on a watchco because it ticked a few boxes for me.
1) no worry about tritium / bakelite cracking / discolouration
2) movement repairs (though I understand the 552 movement is easily serviceable with donor parts) my watch repair guy recently retired so I don't have a reliable person to go to.
3) a modern piece would be less hassle and less worry (at least for me)
So I present this Watchco Seamaster (courtesy of @JimInOz who I had a magnificent a wonderful conversation with)
Bracelet is a forstner flat link which I bathed it in baby oil so it's smooth.
Not many pictures for now but this ends my watch hobby and I can honestly say there's nothing else I would want in my collection.
I'll still be around OF but my IG has been on hiatus for the longest time (no intention to reboot it) and thanks to OF for all the friends that I've made.
Cheers
