If you find another send me the chocolate JLC diver! 😉😉😉
That were in northern ireland in the late 60s. Its interesting that Omega created a vintage seamaster with their latest bond watch, since the entire seamaster 300 collection is very close to the original 50s and early 60s models. Whats not in their line up right now, unfortunately, are these very interesting late-60s SMs. We'll see if Omega is willing to change that , i doubt it right now. Thanks for your nice picture.
. . . of the alphabet soup gang: Should have gotten one when they were a fraction of today's going price ;-) . . .
I'd give an arm an a leg for one - or two of them! Cheers Richard
