    Hello again all!

    One worth mention and sharing as I often try and do, especially since it comes as an awesome embodiment of my collecting mission:

    "Late 40's to early 70's Seamasters that transition Omega SMs into other sub brands somehow, in terms of features, looks or configuration, or atleast representing a critical point or model in the Omega Seamaster history."

    Believing that this beauty was the ideal example of the transition into the essential Speedmaster configuration, or atleast closely derived from it, I took the leap of faith, and PM'ed Igor ( @afinewatch ). As I wear it now (no pictures will ever do it justice), I am truly glad I did!

    Impeccable satin silver dial with an amazing vintage hue

    Sharp case

    A 7-row flat endlink bracelet partnership added for a more defined vintage feel

    IMO, a true and elegant, classy Seamaster-Speedmaster formula in stainless steel.

    Thanks Igor... worth every minute of waiting and cent spent!
    Am eternally addicted!

    Thank you for your kind words and a vote of confidence.
    Had I taken such great pictures as you have done I would have sold it a long time ago :)
    Enjoy in good health!
    Let me just say that the deal did not involve PayPal ... :)
    Best regards, Igor afinewatch

    Totally agree... something special about that combination, initially shifting SM's into chronographs, makes them so much more watch!

    Nice watch! Here's one of mine - the lugs are in the process of twisting...

    Absolutely... and that's as far as I would go along the time line.... Here is where I stop, before things get all twisted! :D

    Greetings H :)
    Been a while, huh!
    I would have to admit, these are such beauties, they would always catch my attention, and I would always consider, although I am very much a silver color watch person rather than yellow!
    Anything in mind? ;)
