Been travelling since last night on our way to Egypt! My first time to the African continent. It's after dark now but am at a hotel 5 minutes from the pyramids ,so connectivity permitting, I should be able to share cool wrist shots in the coming days.
We flew Royal Jordanian and this pic is while we were doing a plane change in Amman, Jordan. YaY!
This one surfaced today. Haven’t worn it for a long time. Hardly a grail watch in the eyes of many, but I like it. Early 1950s caliber 352 bumper automatic. The watch you see is not the watch I acquired. It came in a gold filled case that, I am certain, someone had set out to purposely destroy! Beyond salvaging. Dial also sadly deteriorated. Fortunately, the movement had not suffered. I acquired this one via bartering. The previous owner inherited the wreck, and several other watches he wanted fixed. The deal was, I would service three watches, and the basket case Omega became mine. I got into my stash, and found this stainless steel Omega case, and an Omega hour hand, and a better dial. I serviced the watch, fabricated a “dog’s leg” case clamp for it, fitted this dial, and set it up with the steel case. It is an excellent performer, and sweat equity is partly why I like it.
