Omega Constellation 1202.10 Ss & Gold Full Bar Rare

1680 Sub - Fair price?
G'day all, I have been debating whether to join the vintage club around here for some time. I've been on the look out for a nice 1680 white Sub.I found one here locally and would just like to run it past you guys to see what you think.1680 Sub - white writing on dial.Made in 1979In excellent nick.Case is nearly untouched with no dints etc.Bracelet is unstretched and pretty clean.Previous owner had the dial replaced 8 yrs ago. It says tritium on the dial but in fact it is luminova. Markers are nice and white & crisp.Hands have also been replaced with luminova hands.Crystal was also replaced but it is of the slightly beveled variety - not the square edge type.No box or paperwork etc etc.All in all a very nice watch.Asking price is a firm $7350usdFrom what I can gather it would be a decent deal if it had the original hands and dial along with a box and papers.Interested to hear all your thoughts on this one and the 1680 in general.

Finally Picked a Watch...
I think I'm turning JapanesehahaAnyway, I began collecting with Seiko and Orient, buying their 50-150 dollar watches and honestly I got burnt out because I bought most of what they had to offer. Now that I'm buying more expensive pieces, a whole $300-400 nowI'm back from Swiss land to see what the Japanese had to offer at a higher price point. After looking around for what seems like forever, and thinking over and over about what I really wanted in a watch I found it. My original criteria called for a 36-38mm watch, comfortable, sapphire, and 100m resistance. After looking at the SCVS/Sarb lines, and the Orient Star'sI found a picture that showed me the case on the scvs001, I was sold.the case design on the newer spirits like the scvs011 and Sarb023 were too blocky for meI wanted something understated/classy but not out of place with jeans.The pillow like case with rounded lugs that are aggressively turned downso classy IMOthe cream dial with gold (I know I know) can go with jeans/K

G-Shock G-1000H-1A review
Okay, it’s been a couple of weeks now, so it's time for a bit of a review of the G-Shock.This model is the G-1000H-1A, with an analogue-display, which I found unusual in the G-Shock range. There is another model (G-1000H-9A) which is ‘gold’ but looks more of a tan or camel colour to me (see pic).Well, first impressions:The watch is light for its size, but with the materials it’s made of I guess that’s not unusual. Fit & finish are very good, which is to be expected for a G-Shock, and the dial is extremely detailed, with the sub dials catching & reflecting the light wonderfully. The dial itself has interesting vertical contrasting lines which I have captured in some of the pics. This is an effect hard to describe but very nice to look at.A smallish date window sits midway between 4 and 5 o’clock. It could be a bit hard to read if your eyes aren’t spot on.The case measures approx 41.5mm diagonally from button to button, which sits just ri

My Latest Speedy Mod!
This is my third Speedy project and I couldn't be more excited with how it turned out. The previous three never connected with me. I just never know how these are going to turn out. So many people love so many different things about timepieces. Well one thing I love if my wide assortment of 20mm straps.I purchased the Speedmaster First Omega in Space and believe it to be the nicest Speedy edition example out there. But at 19mm I simply couldn't keep it. And 20mm straps don't fit--not properly anyways. So that said--here she is.

116618 too dressy for daily wear?
Have thought about the 116618 and wondered if it is too dressy for daily wear? I am a physician who works in a clinic. Also, I think it comes with either a sunburst blue dial or in some cases a flat blue dial with diamonds. Which looks better of those who have seen them? Thanks.
