Here are a few offerings from me ...

In Response To: Scan Day Theme: Post a Pair ! ! ! ()

OK Guys here are a few from me.

Let's start with the most obvious ...

On the left we have a 1964 105.003
On the right a 1994 145.022
I don't think I need to say too much about these. I have found a period bezel for the 105.003 so the pulsations bezel is coming off. Although they are a very closely related, the watches are like "Chalk & Cheese" ( very different for the non-English speakers ). With the possible exception of the crystal, there isn't any common part on either watch.

Next we have the 1045 pair ...

These share the same movement & are pretty close agewise. I chose to put black day/date wheels on the righthand watch.

now we have a pair of Seamaster Cosmic 2000's

Again although very similar & of the same period, these watches share in fact nothing except the name on the dial. Complete different cases. bracelets, movements etc

Here's my favourite pairing ..... the flightmaster brothers ( Orville & Wilbur ? )

On the left we have the 910 version with it's 24 indicator & shallower case, domed crystal.
On the right is the 911 version with its constant second hand, taller case & flat crystal.
- My favourite Omegas !

& finally .....

Big Daddy & his granddaughter ...

On the left is the only ladies pilot-line cased watch I have ever seen & on the right the speedy MK III. ( I could also have shown the SM 120 Chrono here, which is argueably bigger & heavier )

Funnily enough, when I was wondering what to post here, I couldn't think of many pairings .... then I open up the watch box & in the end I decided to limit myself to what I showed above.

As you can see I stuck to Omega pairings, but a Seiko Bellmatic & Omega Memomatic was an option as was a Titus f300 diver & Omega f300 diver.

It's a good thread Jeff.

Next time lets do opposites !
