Ok I straight up stole this picture. I like to look here see unique unusual watches. Plus all the classic and nice one every one has. I like to think I’m open minded and to each his own I always try to find the positive in a watch someone likes but this one I just can’t wrap my brain around.

Just makes me say “Hmmm…?”

Looks like the “case” was hewn from granite.

Shoot got an hour and a lot of traffic to make it to the VA “chronic” ward this AM. Unfortunately I got a guy heading there but I brought my guitar although I find the place depressing “Sam stone” always cheers them up.

Best year ever!

Love the straps with rolled edges. They are hard to find, or perhaps I’m not clever enough to do the right internet search.

After a month of wearing Rolex and Accutron watches, I decided it was time for a change. This Omega F300 tuning fork model was a service award from a local utility company in 1977. The recipient passed away about 12 years ago, and the heirs likely decided to replace the cell, and to use it. It wouldn’t run! Perhaps they needed a quote for servicing it, and when a/ they couldn’t find someone to service it, or b/ didn’t like the quote, they decided to dispose of it, at auction. Being a non-runner, I was the only bidder, and I bought it for $25.00 (Cdn.). Call it taking a chance. The circuit and tuning fork powered right up with a new cell, so I cleaned it. I rarely run into watches as seized with gummy oil as this one was. It performs beautifully, and I was able to locate a new genuine crystal for it ($90.00), and this is the result.
