i'm not sure i'd have taken a platinum PP on holiday, but its got the correct complication for holidaying abroad. looks like you've had good weather. best Graham

Thanks for starting us off, Henry. Andrew

this was first serious acquisition many years ago and thus fitted my small wrist---btw is the cal 321 similar /based on valjoux 7765? regards henry

hi graham appreciate your feedback on the movement. your watch seems to be in great shape---did you acquire it brand new?how did you maintain it---great dial! i bought mine in 1970 and truth to be said have subjected it to the ravages of swimming in the a... 

hi Henry, rather than write it all over again i've attached this link to my original post on it http://omega.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&ti=507391&fi=677&s=0 if you have a problem viewing the link then it dates from 27th march 2009. best Graham

hi graham managed to read your post---very intersting. i have two questions----the crown on your seamaster appears to be bigger than on mine.i raise this point because many years ago when i serviced the watch,they raplaced it with a bigger crown.subsequen... 

Henry, glad you enjoyed my post. my watch is now back to totally original condition. i didnt take much notice of the crown as my watchmaker is ex Omega so would have left/put on the correct one. mine is a seamaster so the caseback is marked waterproof and... 

i will try to post more photos to the omega site when i 've taken more photos. hope to post soon regards

Seeing as others seem to be in holiday mode, more pics from the Gold Coast: IWC Tourbillon ... Shooting the rapids ... Swimming with the dolphins ... Away with the birdies ......  

Thanks for the pics Andrew. Richard.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your lovely photos from the fun park! My family and I have been to the same one in 2007 while visiting our friends from Toowoomba in "down under". We also did the rafting bit and I still remember queueing ever so long for the rollerc... 

The tourbillon looked quite innocuous till I made the mistake of getting on it. The automatic IWC was fully wound by the end I think! You need to avoid local school holiday periods as it can get quite busy. They also have a new system called "Q4U" whereby... 

Hi Andrew, I had not regarded this device your way: as a sort of big winder for watch enthusiasts and their automatic watches ! Actually we have been there mid-week, out of the holiday season and yet is was crowded. But the "Q4U" sounds like a good idea b... 

After the Wipeout and the Tourbillon, this watch enthusiast and his automatic timepiece were somewhat overwound and needed a rest. Getting too old I fear. Having grown up here our kids get plenty of opportunity to feed the roos, so this wasn't such a nove...  

anaesdoc

dont you find it interesting that most holidays with young kids also involve water in some form. i look back on 2 marriages and 21 years of bringing up children and i think all holidays were near the seaside and water parks. ah memories... best Graham

A theme park called "Wet and Wild" was the highlight for our kids, and I. Given other recent threads, I think you might enjoy it too! ;-) A

Wearing this one today, as I did on tuesday when I took these pictures, and as I have been for about 50% of the last four months. Got a chance to check its accuracy againt a handy standard. Performing well... Richard....  

I love this clean Nautilus. There have been some of Chronograph etc versions lately, but I think the Nautilus should be as clean as yours. Everything added to the dial somehow disturbs the wonderful lines. Best, Martin

Very light and easy to wear as well. Hope your arm gets better soon. Richard.

and these pictures are so full of sun ! HAGWE Jeff

Flower Power! Best, Nicolas

this is my favorite Nautilus - clean & so comfortable to wear. Regret selling it. Thanks for posting fernando

What a way to start the day! Best, Jed

Hi, Andrew! I must confess that everytime I see pictures of your 5513 my heart misses a beat. Simply gorgeous patina and incommensurable charm. Have a great weeked, Alex

I know you have a soft spot for these Rolex too. The 1675 is on my list at some stage, and you have a very nice example as well. It is certainly that 'popcorn patina' that makes it special. Andrew

Hi, Andrew! Your comments are much too kind. Let's hope that you will find a lovely 1675 to give a warm companion to your 5513. Here's a quick and bad pictures of mine, and I am also wearing a la Graham another watch in my right wrist which I am sure you ...

. . . A+!

this combo is just for you Art. your favourite watch on your favourite leather. i'll be honest, this is possibly the best look for the railmaster that i've had. better even than the stingray. its the military look of the dial that does it. best Me

. . . bring it to the g-t-g so that I can get a little wrist time with this combo . . . best regards, Art

'if' i can get there i most certainly will. this Icelandic volvano has shut down all airports and some people say it could carry on spewing dust for up to 2 years or more. best G

thanks Stefan, i've just got to find the right cheap strap and buckle for it, the current one i ok, but not perfect. best G

... now i see .. what a strap .... I saw a railmaster for the first time last moday ... what a beast , i didn't know ... Also congrats on that beautifull Seamaster 600, is that the same case a my seamaster 30 ? Ze Bim

its a shame that 500 miles and an expensive and currently packed tunnel train are between us as you really need to see this strap in person to appreciate how good it is. for me it was expensive, but as we discussed it suits 6 or more watches. its supple, ...

Atmos are a perfect sample of simple science Right now I prefer the more modern versions. To me an Atmos remains an Atmos and they are fabulous to look at them so mysteriously functioning. Many thanks for your kind post. PoyFr

Fantastic picture, my friend. This is the kind of photo which makes me really think about includeing a Newson in my collection. NOW, I'm JEALOUS! Best, Nicolas

pleasurable moments. imo, one more on your wrist will not bring you that sort of escapes. Admiring it, really takes your mind away.

My lonely and poor, by this forum standards, "white" 1680 (circa 1979): The wrist belongs, of course, to my granddaughter. Sort of a miracle that she stopped for the picture and, better, the watch survived the process. Cheers, Nilo...  

...Is by no mean a low standard watch. I believe it is one of the really really nice ones. Doesnt have to be red to fit here :--) Congratulations Nilo on the watch and on your granddoughter Cheers Hans

I have to give you my vote! Great watch and an even greater photo! HAGWE Blomman

vintage Rolex at its best ! HAGWE Jeff

Love the 1680, which is certainly not "poor", but the wrist is infinitely more precious. Best, CaliforniaJed

Superb picture, and even nicer watch! When a 1690 has such a wonderful patina, I don't mind it is white instead or red. Best! Nicolas
