My new watch or.... ¿ Am I obsessed with Broad Arrows ?

Hello - hope this post is OK in this Omega forum as it is related with Omegas in any way as you will see in my last pics-

Months ago I saw a picture of a watch and fell immediately in love , as it was an unknown brand (at least for me , a Frey  plongeurs supercompressor) , I thought it would be very difficult to get one
luckily for me , last week I found one and ...here it is

I am delighted , I like everything of it : the size , the nice divers grey strap , the hands , the color of the dial ( that changes a lot depending the light ) , the supercompressor type case with the two pushers
also has a fantastic pedigree : was bought new in 1962 in France by a professional diver , now retired who has been the only owner

A pleasure to share some pictures of them (and the rest of my Broad Arrow family smile ) with you
Thanks for looking and hope you like

Longines, Droz, Bulova, Universal Genève, Vulcain, JLC, Hamilton, among others, made some delicious specimens. That one I didn't know. Congratulations, my friend. Best, Nicolas

¿Who knows :) ? [nt]

Very cool looking watch. Feels like an old ghost diver.

It does look like a cross between . . .

. . . a Longines and an Omega - well spotted, Nacho! Very handsome specimen, and yes, I'm partial . . . . . . to grey, too, which is more difficult to find in vintage Omegas than you might expect. I believe Abel has one . . . perhaps he'll find this threa...  

Thanks , glad you like [nt]
