After the Wipeout and the Tourbillon, this watch enthusiast and his automatic timepiece were somewhat overwound and needed a rest. Getting too old I fear.
Having grown up here our kids get plenty of opportunity to feed the roos, so this wasn't such a novelty, but I very much understand the attraction; they are special creatures. We did get to see a wombat out and about which is unusual. Compared to when I was a kid, it's rare to see them in the wild now days.

hi, am wearing my favourite faithful old timekeeper--posted incorrectly in help forum as was trying out photo uploaded hagwe henry...
The ultimate dressing down ...
I love all the matching colours, Patrice. Looks like you had a wonderful and relaxing time. Andrew
Cool!
A WT on a Nato...Cool! Come back, Patrice, we miss you! I have a lot of things to tell you... Best, Nicolas
Very interesting....
and daring combination my friend..... and certainly it preserves your new alligator strap... have a safe trip home my friend.... cheers
Patrice, i love the strap and i really love the watch.
i'm not sure i'd have taken a platinum PP on holiday, but its got the correct complication for holidaying abroad. looks like you've had good weather. best Graham
You have to come home - immediately
just too many drugs Anyway, it fits good with your trunks. Enjoy the last hours. Oliver
thanks andrew
this was first serious acquisition many years ago and thus fitted my small wrist---btw is the cal 321 similar /based on valjoux 7765? regards henry
now i've got more time i can say. lovely 321 Omega Henry
i've got one myself, it has a much different character to the speedy being smaller with no dark bezel. a great watch. to go into more detail about the movement. Omega have always used Lemania to make their chronograph movements so until you get to the 90'...
a well maintained 321
hi graham appreciate your feedback on the movement. your watch seems to be in great shape---did you acquire it brand new?how did you maintain it---great dial! i bought mine in 1970 and truth to be said have subjected it to the ravages of swimming in the a...
hi Henry, rather than...
hi Henry, rather than write it all over again i've attached this link to my original post on it http://omega.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&ti=507391&fi=677&s=0 if you have a problem viewing the link then it dates from 27th march 2009. best Graham
great link
hi graham managed to read your post---very intersting. i have two questions----the crown on your seamaster appears to be bigger than on mine.i raise this point because many years ago when i serviced the watch,they raplaced it with a bigger crown.subsequen...
Henry, glad you enjoyed my...
Henry, glad you enjoyed my post. my watch is now back to totally original condition. i didnt take much notice of the crown as my watchmaker is ex Omega so would have left/put on the correct one. mine is a seamaster so the caseback is marked waterproof and...
thanks for suggestion
i will try to post more photos to the omega site when i 've taken more photos. hope to post soon regards
Henry, you should post more of your watch on the Omega Forum
Many enthusiastic Omega-philes there. Andrew

More holiday pics ...
Seeing as others seem to be in holiday mode, more pics from the Gold Coast: IWC Tourbillon ... Shooting the rapids ... Swimming with the dolphins ... Away with the birdies ......
Great pics, great memories!
Hi Andrew, thanks for your lovely photos from the fun park! My family and I have been to the same one in 2007 while visiting our friends from Toowoomba in "down under". We also did the rafting bit and I still remember queueing ever so long for the rollerc...
The tourbillon ...
The tourbillon looked quite innocuous till I made the mistake of getting on it. The automatic IWC was fully wound by the end I think! You need to avoid local school holiday periods as it can get quite busy. They also have a new system called "Q4U" whereby...
The "Tourbillon"...
Hi Andrew, I had not regarded this device your way: as a sort of big winder for watch enthusiasts and their automatic watches ! Actually we have been there mid-week, out of the holiday season and yet is was crowded. But the "Q4U" sounds like a good idea b...

looks like a good family holiday my friend
dont you find it interesting that most holidays with young kids also involve water in some form. i look back on 2 marriages and 21 years of bringing up children and i think all holidays were near the seaside and water parks. ah memories... best Graham
Wet and Wild ...
A theme park called "Wet and Wild" was the highlight for our kids, and I. Given other recent threads, I think you might enjoy it too! ;-) A
Nautilus 5711/1A
Wearing this one today, as I did on tuesday when I took these pictures, and as I have been for about 50% of the last four months. Got a chance to check its accuracy againt a handy standard. Performing well... Richard....
Wow, Richard
I love this clean Nautilus. There have been some of Chronograph etc versions lately, but I think the Nautilus should be as clean as yours. Everything added to the dial somehow disturbs the wonderful lines. Best, Martin
Thanks Martin...
Very light and easy to wear as well. Hope your arm gets better soon. Richard.
On hindsight..
this is my favorite Nautilus - clean & so comfortable to wear. Regret selling it. Thanks for posting fernando
Beuatiful clean Nautilus...
...Gerald Genta did a great job in those days One of my favorite PP Cheers Hans
i do like the Nautilus Richard, clean crisp minimal and functional
also very expensive, (but we wont go into that) best Graham
Makes my heart melt fernando

and the retrograde seconds are so fun to watch. Thanks for showing, ahave a good weekend Andreas
The old feathered monkey...
Have I not seen him before? Not the first time he is holding on to your watches I think. He is very beautiful! (the IWC is also quite cool - hope you win the battle ) Nikolaj
Ah, so this is what Graham means . . .
. . . when he says he's 'chuffed as a monkey'. English . . . strange language, eh?
Very very harmonious today ...
.... something I wanted on my wrist for a loooong time! Happy weekend all, Andreas...
. . . not to mention . . .
. . . very handsome as well! Congratulations, Andreas . . . cordially, Art
