Glad to see you weren't trading that Seiko in for an Apple Watch!

Yes! You need a 950, but also a 950E, and a 950B if you don鈥檛 already have them. A 952 would be nice as well. Creeping metabolism at it鈥檚 worst!

I mentioned the Hamilton 952 in a previous post. This is the 19-jewel version of the aforementioned 950, 950E, and 950 B. There were fewer of these produced than the others in this series, and they are becoming more sought after as the prices on the higher jewelled models aspire out of reach. As much as I like my 950B, I much prefer the older models from this series. They are (to my eye) much more esthetically pleasing with the nicer damask, higher finish, and gold jewel settings. The case on this one has hinged front and rear covers, and inner curette, and it is typical of the cases the 952 was sold in. I don鈥檛 own a 950E, but maybe, some day. Likewise, a 951.

Another fun loaner from @Andy K The mighty Speedmaster 125.


It's my first time noticing that the applied OMEGA letters and the 125 on the dial are NOT connected. They appear to be individually applied.

Here with reflections off of something more gold colored.


And here compared to my modern Broad Arrow and my vintage piepan Connie which pre-dates the 125: Both clearly have connected letters, which would be presumably easier to manage and apply as a single part.


Dunno if Omega did the non-connected thing with other models, but it sure seems to show they were paying extra attention to this Anniversary model. YaY!
