Incoming… what do you have? (Vol. 3)
Discussion
Nobody does Moser quite like Moser. Who I see are sponsoring alpine U.K. the f1 this year, quite a step up for them I was wondering if more would be made of it but it all seems quite low key.

Assuming I like the real thing as much as I like the photos (and have done for several years) then hopefully this will be coming soon (against every financial best practice ethos...)
Can't wait, love the reverse panda look and at 38mm it's a great size.

That's gorgeous, perfect watch IMHO.
Thanks, I can't wait. I think I'll look at getting a black alligator type strap at some point to dress it up a little on some occasions. The brown looks nice but gives it a semi casual look.. I'm also thinking a black rally/racing strap will go well given it's look back to the original. Bringing the classy tone down considerably...
Picking up one of these on the weekend:
(Not my wrist. Far too little hair)
Have got the green dial and ice blue dial auto variants already. This gold version just shouts cheesy retro in a good way!
Ticks the gold Vacheron 222 look off at a fraction of the cost.

The Seamaster Mariner arrived last week and it's a corker.
The case has been refinished, movement serviced, looks like it has a new crystal too. The dial is original. Overall it's impossible to tell from a brand new watch. I'm very pleased! The day of the week appears to be in Finnish. "Hurdy gurdy, bork, bork, bork!". Or is that Dutch?
It feels like quite a chunk on the wrist, probably because the shark mesh strap is so slim. But I do think the strap suits the watch, so it stays.
The Omega 1310 movement that lies within this watch is one of the weirdest movements I own...
The crown has three positions, and there are two pushbuttons, one at 2 o'clock and one at 4.
With the crown fully in, the watch runs normally as you'd expect.
Pull the crown out to the first position and you can adjust the hours and weekday (by passing midnight). The minute hand and seconds hand continue their journeys around the dial whilst you fiddle. Pop the crown back in and the hour hand magically adjusts to the correct position. Let's say the minute hand is at the 30 minute past the horur mark, no matter where you leave it, the hour hand will magically move to half way between the two hour markers.
Pull the crown out to the second position and you can adjust the hour and minute hands. Again the seconds hand does not hack.
Setting the seconds hand is achieved through pushing the button at 2 o'clock. When you do so, the seconds hand jumps forward to the next five second point.
Then finally pressing the button at 4 o'clock advances the day of the month.
I honestly have no idea what the boffins in Geneva were smoking in the 1970's, but it must have been strong stuff!
Here are the rest of the seller's pictures, which are probably better than anything I'd take:
