··Omega Qualified WatchmakerWas that due to the peppers or that beautiful JLC Memovox? It looks to be in perfect condition; do you actually wear it?
I can remember seeing this circa 2005, but my then finance director put any ideas of getting one permanently on ice. At the time I was more interested in the 171 81 70 (Geographic), but the idea of a mechanical wrist alarm is also very retro cool.
The watch head looks quite thick, likewise the lugs. How does it wear? Any chance of some wrist shots?

That photo was taken a few years ago - I do wear it and it doesn't look quite so pristine now. This is a more recent shot:

Another one from a few years ago:

Movement shot...not that you can see it with the case back on:

One of the reasons it's a bit thick is because, unlike the vintage versions and many other alarm watches that just have the alarm hammer strike a post on the case back and simply make a buzzing sound, this one has a proper gong inside the case back:

So the alarm is more like an old school bell than just an annoying buzz - video for you:
Not sure what these go for these days, but I bought mine new with a reasonable discount as I recall.
Anyway, sorry to hijack the food thread with so much watch talk!
Cheers, Al
