Omega

After the recent slip up with the 2 redial Omega Military I have been very CAREFUL.

And here again I want to share with you all a learning experience.

After being less impulsive and with a little home work I was able to acquire my first Diver.

Here are the Pics.

  

Wait at minute. I wasn't talking about the above watch. It is a borrowed picture of a notorious watch for reference.

Stubbies, loops of 6 And 9 are closed, bezel inserts wrong. No white square line around the date window.

 

 

The actual watch I am talking about is this.

The letter A in waterproof is a flat top. certified spelled correctly.

 

Correct case ref: 166.024 is correct.

 

 

Movement is cal 565.

And of course a traditional wristshots.

 

Thanking for bearing your patience.

 

Greetings.

 

Ed

I was afraid for a short moment that you got the  first  one.

Well done.

I miss, really miss my 2 Seamasters...

Best,

Nicolas.

To deceive(not exactly, just tease) those who know. But help those who don't.
Thank you for your nice words.
You miss your 2 SM. Have you sold them? Or you haven't given
them wrist-time?
As for mine, it does not look as bad on my small wrist in flesh.

Cheers
Ed Ps: the other chunkier buckle that I saved has been assigned to this watch. Couldn't put it on this Nato due to a fixed buckle already on it. This message has been edited by Edward Lee on 2011-03-08 18:00:20 This message has been edited by Edward Lee on 2011-03-08 18:03:22

Sadly my 2 SM are gone with the burglars...

And I will have big issues to find these 2 pieces again, as they were in great condition, with an outstanding patina.

Best,
Nicolas.

May those perpetrators be cursed and damned.
And for you I wish you luck that some day you will find
what you lost.

Hi Edward

Nice example , but the crown is incorrect.  It should have a bullet nosed screwdown crown .... not a major issue but one I would correct at your next service.   The black gunk  on the winding wheels appears to be old o-ring material that decomposed over time....

Good Hunting

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your evaluation.
I have replaced the faulty setting lever, setting bridge and the arbor
I had my doubts about the button. Thanks again.

Cheers

Ed

  Enjoy your SM-300 you deserve it.    Regards, Jim

You made me feel very good.
And you are darn right, I will ENJOY the SM.

yep, its not perfect, the crown as Bill pointed out and the loss of lume on the hour hand, but its honest and wears its age well.

i think my little trio should say hello

A nice trio indeed.
Now you should look for the date version.

Ed

You have your criteria
Whereas I have my wife to keep a check on
my bank balance.
:o)

Ed

Nice catch!

 

 

Give her a good life!

Not a perfect pcs, but that's ok for my first diverr.
And of course it will be loved.

Ed

Considering the "bullet hole" in the hour hand - LOL

As always, wear in good health. Miki

And a harpoon hole is more appropriate.
;o)
Thanks Mikij.

Best
