Hard to capture the blued hands on this one without over exposing the rest of the watch.

An "almost, but not quite, nearly."

I was on a ladder, trimming large limbs out of an oak tree. One just broke and its butt end plunged down, right on to the "watch indexing location" on my wrist. Good thing I was wearing the beater watch loosely for it was forward of where the limb struck. I'll heal, but don't want the ol' Glycine watch-of-wonder to suffer injury. Could have lost the crystal, might have lost the dial, maybe even warped the case or lugs.
Glad is wasn’t worse. Those vintage vostoks were my best companion when doing my successful and sometimes not DIY

Bought this for my wife as a special occasion gift - arrived today and had to take it for a spin before handing it over. You know, quality control and what not 😉.



1970’s Omega f300hz Geneve Chronometer ref: 198.0068.169

I’m a bit of a f300 head and while she loves the look and feel of vintage, she isn’t the biggest fan of setting a watch every time she wants to wear it (crazy, I know). So vintage electronic really checks a lot of boxes.

Here it is delivered, looks like a hit!

That’s a beautiful watch. I recently came across one and tried to get the case back off using the correct tool and turning it clockwise…didn’t budge. Is this model one that has to be turned to the right/clockwise to be loosened.

Thanks

This new aquisitions sharp facets and brushing lets me stare at it all day.
But it definitely needs a new strap - any color and material suggestions that make it pop? 😊
