Yes, So much envy and want. And drooling.

I think it'll be at least a bit older than 40. From memory the last movements were made around '76. But that was Bulova. I can't remember if Bulova made the movements for Omega or if Omega made them under license.

Thanks for the love for the watch. As I understand it, it’s one of the rarer of omegas seamasters, let alone the f300 range.

It’s also a late one. It’s Guarantee card dates it to 1980, would need to look it up to see the exact date and was sold new in Antwerp, Belgium. I also believe as considerable cost although I don’t have the original receipt. I believe they were near the top end of omegas range at the time. Can’t find out too much information on them. Only a couple of threads online, and a few mere mentions.

I like that it’s different though and love the look of it. Also like that I probably won’t see anyone else wearing one!

Thanks to another PHer I have, incoming, by far the most expensive watch I've ever bought - and I'm very excited!

It's Swiss made
It was a custom build for its first owner
It has a 26 Jewel Automatic movement
It has a stainless steel /sapphire crystal case
Part of it has been to space.

Any guesses?

Just bought this Hanhart 1939 Replika made in the late 90's. The originals were issued to the Luftwaffe.

Wears nicely, if a bit bigger than I thought it would be.

Sitting here, waiting patiently for a delivery to get here.
I've been looking for this watch (not paying overs) for about 18m.
A new version was released earlier this year ... and last week I paid for it.

There is a manufacture's reference number, but it has another name that is used more frequently.
From what I gather the name of the new version is not decided on.

Any ideas?

Gabbed this off ebay.

Brand new in box and only paid £33 (I think the rrp was about £180 when they were available?). Swatch Irony 'Clean Vision' chronograph 47mm. Nice steel case and a really soft leather strap. May not be to every taste but I like it (all that matters really)

Been waiting for a delivery all day....



Have to see it in daylight to see how green the bezel is.
On first appearance it is not as vibrant as the original Kermit,

You would be 100% correct! I'm not on TZ but luckily the mega watch aficionado Papa Hotel is.....

As a massive aerospace geek I've had my eye on them for ages but could never justify the new cost. This is the only one I've ever seen for sale secondhand and it was at a hefty discount.... I had to have it.
After eventually working out how to wind it and set the time, it wears really nicely. I'm considering changing the strap though either for brown leather or a steel bracelet - the rubbery black one doesnt do a lot for me and I already have several watches with plain black straps.
As my only automatic, I guess I just have to keep wearing it often enough to keep the power reserve topped up! hehe

Anyway, to quote Portal 2:
"Space! SPACE! SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!!"
