1962 Seamaster 6292 560
My Father bought a Seamaster in the early 60's and wore it for everything. He was an engineer, mechanic, garage tinkerer, and horsman.. After a couple decades of hard use, he gave it to me, and I put another couple of decades of hard use on it as my beater watch. It was the garage, yardwork, fool-around watch until I lost the stem several years back.This is how it looked about 6 months ago:I sent it off with instructions to just give the case, dial, and hands a good cleaning; and overhaul the movement as necessary.This is how it looks today:A new stem, crown, and cleaned up dial and hands:The fresh Omega signed crystal is a joy to look through:The case has been cleaned up, but no polishing or removal of the already well worn 14k Gold:A new Omega Calf Leather strap and gold buckle:The 560 movement was completely disassembled, worn parts replaced and fresh oil:(file photo)The date change started at about 10:30, and changed completely by 12:15:I think it's earned a rest, at least from

Hello WTF!
Hello, WTF! I have been lurking around late at night for the past few days and I finally took the plunge today and joined. While I don't own an Omega (yet) I will be purchasing a Seamaster 2280.80.00 within a week or less. I was supposed to have purchased it today and would have received it tomorrow, however due to issues with my bank, I was unable to secure it. Now, I will have to wait a few days or so to get it. I am very excited as this will be my very first "luxury watch" purchase. I think the most expensive watch I ever owned was a Kenneth Cole Reaction brand that cost just a tad over a C-note. When I do finally have the watch in my hand, it will be a big sense of accomplishment for me as I have been lusting over this watch for quite some time! I challenged myself to save a bit away and now I am finally going to be able to purchase it! I am thrilled to see that there is a mature, kind, community where I can share this experience. I will post pics when I finally get it!

A Public Holiday Friday. Oh Yeah!!!
CHOGM Friday(a completely meaningless acronym for most of you).but a public holiday (in lieu of the Queens Birthday) nonetheless.have a nice day everybody and stay loose and breezy for the weekend!!

Bulova Accutron 218 m9
I have a brand new never worn 1969 Accutron 218 m9 on case. How much does an engraved case (initials and 25th anniversary L.O.F) effect the value.I have the original plastic case and inst. booklet ,all the tags are still attached to the watch band.The orig. battery is still in the watch should I have it replaced.I don't think the watch has ever been worn. Thanks in advance.Jim

Incoming Friday... First Pam!
So I have been not sure on where to go with my collection. Don't have a ton of funds and typically keep it to 2 or 3 watches, right now have a Rolex 114060 and love it. Was looking at adding a BLNR, but wanted to look outside Rolex as wellWent and tried on a 44mm basic sandwich dial today and fell in love with the simplicity of the Pam112. Display caseback, manual wind, strap changing options, it's going to be awesome! Worked out a deal with DavidSW and should be here Friday morning Unboxing and wrist pics soonNow for the strap obsession I've been told so much about... where do you guys recommend I look for vintage leather straps?
