Braving the consequences . . .
Deep in a deadline, I had no time to respond to this post earlier. Sorry to be so late
2007 was a big year for acquisitions for me (cringe) I didn't realize how big until I added up . . .
Dress watches on bracelets
The Mack Daddy of this year . . .
1958 Omega Constellation Grand Luxe OT 2930 auto, 18kYG/18kYG, mirrored stepped gold/brickworks (505)
Had to do something for the wife to wear after I got this jewelry piece -- she wears this one
1956 Omega Constellation De Luxe OT 2799 auto, 18kYG/18kYG mesh, mirrored gold/sterling box (354)
1968 Omega Seamaster WG Day Date BC 168.0023 auto, 18kWG/18kWG, silver/chronometer expansion bracelet (751)
This is my "stealth watch" -- white gold and no one gives it a second glance
2004 Cartier Santos Galbee 2139 automatic, SS-YG/SS-YG, guilloche face (200)
something else my wife wanted -- may not be a distinguished watch, but it photographs well and looks great on her wrist
2006 Omega De Ville coaxial 4531.31.00 auto, SS/SS silvered white/brickworks chronometer (2500)
Dress watches on straps
1934 Omega Cushion manual, nickel/leather, silver/subsecond (26.5 SOB T1)
. . . . sent for restoration without a photo
1953 Omega Seamaster Deluxe OT 14324 auto, 18kYG/leather, hooded lugs/chronometer (352)
1950s Blancpain manual, 14k YG, fancy lugs (?)
just haven't gotten a photo yet -- another for the spouse. . .
1969 Omega Constellation auto, 18kYG/leather, gold face/coin edge bezel half hooded (564)
off to be restored -- movement and case in good shape, everything else needed to go
1979 Lanco Astrolon auto,,
how cool -- a plastic movement that doesn't need to be serviced
no photos yet
1991 Omega Louis Brandt II Date 5311.30 auto, 18kYG/leather, white guilloche/21k rotor (1119)
badly in need of restoration -- sent to Bienne
No photos
GMTs/World Timers
1955 Tissot World Timer, 14kYG/leather, world timer function, (28.5 N 21 T)
Literally arrived today -- only time for quick snaps
1984 Omega Louis Brandt GMT auto, 18kYG/leather, GMT limited edition (717)
lots of issues with this one -- sent to Bienne
2000 Omega Seamaster GMT 2538.20 auto, SS/SS, white GMT (1128)
2006 Omega De Ville coaxial GMT 4533.31.00 auto, SS/SS silvered white/brickworks GMT chronometer (2628)
Chronographs
1960s Dubey & Schaldenbrand Index-Mobile Rattrapante manual, 14kGP cap/leather, chronograph (13'")
a cool and clever way to have an inexpensive split seconds or rattrapante chronograph, you won't see one of these every day. This is from the 1960s
And the secret? Look closely at the center of the dial
1970 Heuer Carrera auto, SS/leather, blue/early auto (Heuer 12)
