Ah, I forgot this green Jolly Roger, which with this dial is probably 1 of 10-12 surviving (according to Fred Friedberg).

Beautiful watch. And I agree that the bracelet should definitely be on your list.

Is the new OEM watch bracelet that Omega offers identical to the original? If so, are you nervous that they'd discontinue it at any point? How much above scrap do these run for?

Omega has a few solid gold bracelets. They are used on either speedy (2) and seamaster/AT (1). So the OB gave me three options for purchasing a bracelet.

I have yet to see a used gold bracelet for sale. And so far best option I see for buying gold bracelet is buying a used gold watch with bracelet. But I way over spent in 2018 on watches, so I'm going to sell a few watches and parts before investgating this further.

This Gordon watch with an AS movement, never seen another. Had to beat off a few.other Gordons in the auction.

Beautiful watch! Presumably all radium lume?

Either this Universal Aero compax 890101/01 with the day/night infinity dial or the 20's universal monopulsante- both for condition and just not many around ::psy::

My rarest watch? Gee...

1940 Bulgarian Tre-Tache with 23M movement - only two known so far, verified by the archives and matching case/movement serials. Does not have the usual step case/matching lug number other Tres do.
