Haven't popped a wristie in a week or so; been busy. But here's today - a caliber 561reference 14393:
View attachment 459612 I like old watches and I can not lie..... This lil girl, (only 32mm) has practically been leaping up onto my wrist these last 5 days off. I love her, despite her size, so I bought her some new shoes and struggled through my first band change. What do you think, is it a good match? I think I am happy. View attachment 459612
Just arrived Yesterday, bracelet was a pain to adjust (2 tiny screws and a tiny steel baton per 1 link) But looking good after all the adjustment
Switched it up today, gave the Seamaster and Galco the day off. Work: Then came home to find my baby had returned from her year-long service odyssey:
Still my one owner (me) 47 year old non-chronometer Rolex Air King which is currently consistently -1 second per day since I serviced it one month ago. When I acquired it in 1971, the MSRP was $215.00. I suspect a modern Air King is somewhere north of 20 times that, pricewise. The Oyster bracelet is after market. My son destroyed the original bracelet, and nearly destroyed the watch about 35 years ago when I made the mistake of letting him wear it.
Picked up my 58 Seamaster from the spa today.Got a full service , authentication, COA, NOS correct crown . My 1st Vintage Omega surely not to be my last.
