·A 1966 black linen dial Seamaster deville automatic purchased in 2006 on eBay and sold 3 weeks ago. No regrets. Yet.

·It was a silver dial Seamaster ref 166.002 with a 565 movement, but looking back at it now, it was a pretty good re-dial, and the bracelet was a fake. At the time I never even realized the issues, and sold it on only because it was too small for me at 34mm.
I followed up quickly with black-dial ref 2639 (cal 265), which - by dumb luck - was all original. It's a lovely watch and I still own it.

·This pair.
Found them in the bottom of box about to be binned after a house clearance of a deceased family member. Turns out they were my Grandpa's old watches.
Both were in pretty bad shape. The one on the right had a pretty much destroyed dial so had the most cosmetic work done. Shame, if I knew what I do now, would have done things a little differently.
The left one is mine, the right went to my brother.

·Here was my first - surprisingly original and unpolished. Mid-sized with a cal 471.
I parted ways with it after growing to dislike the uneven patina... i.e. the stain at 2 o’clock.

·I bought my first now vintage Omega as a 'new' watch in 1971. It was advertised in a National newspaper as a special mail order offer. Cost £21 which I had to pay off monthly as I only earned £8 a week!
Sold to a friend in the late 1980s who then emigrated and we lost touch - but I managed to find him living in Spain about 10 years ago and bought it back!

·This was mine. It cost 540 pounds, probably 539 pounds too much based on the derision poured on non mechanical watches. I love it and will never part with it.

You'll get no derision here. I've no doubt that these electronic watches (and their F300 cousins) will see an upsurge in interest in the not too distant future.
