My Veredict for Watch of the Week ...

Feb 09, 2020,06:45 AM
 

... Hello friends!


Not easy to judge this category with so many watches which deserve the title this week end. Some of deserve it for their rarity, some for their beauty, some for .heir uniqueness. 

So after viewing pictures several times I came to the following veredict:

Special Mention to the stunning Mc Gonigle timepiece of Tim Jackson. A true rare bird.

Special Mention to the superb Credor Eichi 2 submited by mj23. Stunning dial and no less stunning movement makes a delight viewing from both sides.

And the winning watch of this week end is:  Marine Omega vintage timepiece reference 3635 owned by Art (Dr. No) which I feel is a milestone in the development of waterproof watches history, a very rare bird for the system employed by Omega and because it is rarely found today.

Congrats to winners and congrats to all participants for sharing with us so many awesome and beautiful watches!

Cheers! Abel


Special Mention : Tim Jackson´s Mc Gonigle




 Special Mention:  mj23 Credor Eichi 2









Winner Watch of the Week: Art´s (Dr. No) Omega Marine ref 3635

Thank you for the encouraging pick. The identical background is in fact the lazy Susan on my dining table. Ha ha, guess I should start looking for some more interesting props at home to shoot pics, especially during this time of Hong Kong being plagued wi...
