Kobold Polar Surveyor Duo On eBay Ending Nov-28-07 17:05:41 PST: Two Gold Watches To Lust After
You don't often see watches like this in pairs, but up on eBay for sale are a couple of 18k gold Kobold Polar Surveyor watches. One is all gold with the lovely metallic blue Kobold face, and other other is gold with a alligator strap and a black face. The bands are obviously interchangeable. Kobold watches are rare in the watch world for being an American company. Based out of Philadelphia, they use mostly swiss components are designed to be very rugged and functional. Knowing their upmarket appeal, Kobold does offer some of its pieces in gold as these two are.A Kobold watch is meant to be fully functional and reliable and deep depths, and very cold temperatures. Their base Valjoux 7750 movements have been modified to include a AM/PM indication. The reason for this is that when you are exploring the arctic poles, the day and nights can be very long (months on end). When this occurs, you do not have the luxury of the day/night phase to know what time it is. Thus the AM/PM indicator prov

I have a quick question, don't worry, its easy!
First up, Hi all. I've never posted here, nor anywhere about watches. I don't know anything about them, other than there are some very beautiful, and pricey ones out there. My question is simple and quick, are there a line of "cheap" omega watches from the 1950's? I don't have a picture of mine, it says "Century" on the face, an inside the back, its calibre 266, and number 14207482. Now, I have no illusion that its a fancy watch. I bought it to wear, as my bulova crapped out. I notice that seeing the watches here, and other Omegas on the web, that my watch really looks like a poor cousin, next to others! I'm okay with that, I'm sure its worth the $50 I paid, I mean, it keeps time and all. The stem on mine does not have the little Omega sign which I assume means its been replaced. Anyway, again, I don't think my watch is worth anything, I'm just wondering if there was a cheap line. Thanks for indulging my curiosity! Oh, and if I didn't mention it, there are some beautiful wa

Talk me down off the ledge.
.or push me over into the water. I'm feeling Omegacidal. Okay, here's what I mean. I'm knee deep into vintage IWC and JLC, and the more I see the deeper I want to delve. I get advice from my watchmaker on IWC and have collected some basic reference material. My library for JLC has just about everything I need. It's also no secret that VC is a brand I'd like to upgrade to, but up 'til now I've only stood on the shore and am longing to at least dip my toe in. Which brings up a problem - cash! I ain't made of it and I'm not giving up my Longines collection, so it comes down to Omega. Blasphemy, I know.but they're the most liquid watches I have. I've been kicking this around, but since we're here to discuss stuff like this let's do just that. Feel free to call me nuts, tell me to go for it, or admit that you'd be ambivalent - but share your thoughts or a brief explanation.

A nice afternoon with my AD.
And probably getting something for the wife.
