1940 Omega 30 T1
Hi guys,I'd like to share a recent acquisition with you if I may - a 1940 Omega (CK 2099) with a 30 T1 movement. This is actually my first vintage watch and has really got me into the scene. The stand out for me is the dial - although it has a few chips and a bit of patina (lets call it character!) I love the royal blue and gold bulls-eye design. The detail is superb in my opinion and even the hands look like a piece of art! It has a stainless steal case and the movement looks nice and clean (it'll be going for a service shortly). You'll also note that an Omega extract of archives is included in the third picture. Whilst expensive for what it is I couldn't resist sending off for a record of a watch which is so old/special to me from the manufacturer. I don't ever intend to sell it so this is nice to have to keep with the watch. So please add any comments/opinions that you may have, any information on the 30 T1 movement would be appreciated also. All in all not to bad for its 71 years,

First time buyer
First off hi everyone i am new to this forum ,I have saved up some money and looking into buying myself a nicer watch , I currently have my eye on the WilliamsF1 Team Chronograph 2008, really like the design and it fits my budget . My question would be do they make come up with a new model every year ? should I wait for the 09 to come out and see whats it like ? would the 08 drop significant in price when the 09 is available ? For Oris , which line is there most popular ? I mean like a signature line ?Sorry was asking so many questions, I am new to this so I am trying to get as many opinion before I go out there and spend my hard earning cash

Hamilton-Illinois Question
I was asked a question regarding a 1950's Hamilton-Illinois watch being offered for sale on that auction site:Does anyone know if Hamilton actually made watches with the crown on the left (other than cal. 11/12 chronographs)? Are these considered rare?If this was an aftermarket modification, how was it done?Thanks much,gatorcpa
