Macros are easy now with my new Sony . . .

Beautiful!
Great piece. Love the quartered dial. My Omegas are in the bank, but wanted to share this one. What looks like a ding on the upper left lug is an import mark. Probably a precursor to the Seamaster. 37mm. ...
Likely delivered to a Portuguese or Brazilian agent. Ref 2657? . . .

No, Nicolas, for mblum's Omega, not mine. The stamp is usually on the underside . . .

The butt (and rings and joint) of the cue is juma, a thermoplastic . . .
. . . that's available in 'snakeskin' configuration. Posing the lizard strap and snakeskin butt together was intentional . . . I was hoping someone would catch the pairing! 😉
Ahh ok. I was surprised by the "scales" on this material. Thought about other natural and exotic materials which are often used in high end knife handles like Musk Ox.
I didn`t know about "juma" thank you for the clarification dear Art. Cheers, Abel
Hello dear Art: My apologies...
... By mistake I posted the pictures of my answer in your opening post and when I realized what I had done I deleted my pictures immediately. But I left "my tracks" in a note saying that your message had been edited by me. I´m sorry and apologize for my "...
