All I bought were chronographs in 2024.

Omega 2279 ref (Lemania 27ch) w/ an uncommon dial/hand variation. More info here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-2279-chrono-hands.172365/

Omega 2287 ref (Lemania 27ch) - an uncommon reference (similar to 2451)

Tissot 6215 ref (Lemania 27ch) w/ a unique raised seconds track - while an absolute stunner, it just didn't click and has already been passed on to a forum member

Lemania 15CHT w/ a white enamel pulsations track

Heuer 345 ref (Valjoux 71) w/ the most amazing blued steel hands (in queue for watchmaker)

Gallet Multichron clamshell (Venus 150)

Gallet Multichron Snow White (EP40)

Wow put me on the DIBS list please for those omegas - especially the 2287 !

I'd say it's a toss up between the Apollo 8 Speedmaster and a Panerai 311

Interesting watch box. Custom?

This Omega F300 was a 25 year service award to the original owner, given in 1977. The original owner passed away in 2011. Whether the original owner wore it for 34 years or not, I don’t know. But when I acquired it, it needed lots of work, and the family decided to let the watch go. Needless to say, I bought it for a distressed price, serviced the tuning fork movement, and fitted a new crystal. So it is just under 50 years old, and I love it.
