That Tag is stunning!

Dave, what are you after? I can get you a good deal if you're prepared to buy from a HIgh Street retailer in Dundee...

Union street?

I was leering in Walkers at the weekend.....nice.

Not been in for a while, but know most of the staff - my ex-sis-in-law works there

Incoming !!!!



Absolutely in love with it.

(sorry for the sh*t picture but people look at you funny when you take a pic of your watch in work )

[Stevoraith]

Just my cup of tea Martin, lovely

[graeme]

Excellent choice!

Gotta get me some leather... that looks ace!

[Lazydonkey]

It's an offical omega croc leather strap, but to be honest i think it's a bit too slim underneath the wrist so i'm going to try it on a Di Modell Rallye and see how i get on with that.

The previous owner also supplied the bracelet but i'm keen to keep it very different from my seamaster.

Lovely Speedmaster, I'm just about to buy a 'proper' watch and this is one of the two I'm going to buy.

Another vintage Omega(not mine)

A neighbour knows I have an interest in watches and mentioned that he was thinking about selling the watch he received as a 21st birthday gift from his parents in 1960. It is a 9k gold Omega, about 34m in diameter. It is on a bracelet of the period although there are no omega markings on it. The watch and bracelet both appear to have hallmarks but I couldn't quite make them out - I forgot my lupe

He has been to one place and they have told him it might be worth £4k-£5k. The condition is excellent as he has hardly used it over the past 50 years. He now finds the bracelet uncomfortable so is looking to chop it for something cheaper and on leather.

It would be interested to hear any thoughts as to which model it actually is and what the value may be.







Sat next to my own 1954 Seamaster

Enjoying this one now

It does loads more than my other watches

my love for monsters continues. Just got a new mini monster, arrived on my desk this morning. particularly like the see through case on the back

[graeme]

for the Mini Monster! Great colours!

What's the strap on the OM? It looks like just what I want for my BM... full width, but with a sort of cutaway notched bit to fit 20mm. A normal 20mm strap looks too dainty.

The strap on the OM is a Di Modell Chronissimo, some more picture here http://forums.watchuseek.com/f239/di-mo ... 57939.html really suits the monster. and i got it for the reason you mentioned as it is full width

Can be bought from here http://www.ukwatchstrap.co.uk/DiModell- ... ck-O0.html

This thread continues to run................

I am liking the Monster as it's a fun watch with supreme build quality at a bargain price

Donkey

The Speedy should have a bracelet on it

Take the back of the Omega and get the serial number
Log on to Omaga website and do a search of the vintage watches
I think your friend is in for a disappointment on value ............looking at similar 50's/60's watches and they are currently around £800 mark
The price appears to be dependant on the movement (CAL 351) and the carat value of the gold
I don't suppose he will be too bothered as it's a 21st Gift..................if he is.............melt the fokker down as gold is fetching £11 per gram

[dlogan]

Picked this up at the end of October last yr.
