Hello again, Dr. Noo Well, they tasted just fine. I bought them in 1978 when I served as a UN soldier in Cyprus. It is stored in 21 years, so it was probably on the barrel of that year I was born, which is 57th The watch was made shortly after the beginni...

What a nice Omega you have! I also want one with black dial, but they are hard to find. I enclose a picture of my Omega Seamaster age in 1957, Cal 500 goldplatted. "Directly from the ocean" he, he, he. This watch has received a "SPA treatment" through a n...  

I like your photo!

It's not often I have it on me, 1-2 times a month. The glass has small scratches but I will grind it. I wear usually Longines Master Collection. I would like to have a modern GO, but my wallet is too thin. Regards Anders

nice shot, indeed your glashutte is a real vintage...

i know very little about the history of Glashutte other than WE bombed the factories in 1944 and then the Russians helped the East Germans form GUB. i've seen a lot of GUB watches from the 60's, but i've never seen one with Glashutte Original on the dial ... 

Thanks for asking Graham!

Hi Graham! You are not the first to ask about this. I read the information about Glashütte and it said that in 1921 came the first named Glashütte Original. I have been in contact with Jean Neef who has a sait called Glasutte archives and he informed me t...

Hi Anders, Thanks for your interesting post about the inscription "Glashütte Original" on vintage GUB watches! Because that was news to us (our first impression was something like "dumb dial fake") , we tried to get a confirmation by an "official per...
