Agreed! On display at Chartwell would be the ideal place for it.
There was a time when I really lusted after one of these and came very close to buying, that's when grey dealers were selling at around £4K.
Only 3 dial combinations work in my opinion, that's...
Nothing wrong with the old designs even though they look a bit basic compared to modern offerings, it should be possible to reproduce the design and have the clasp function as intended, shouldn't...
My dad was in the navy during WW2, after demob in 1946 aged 23 him and a friend decided to keep a pig in the back garden, along with geese and hens. Meat was rationed so clearly it made sense. After...
If it's a conventional clasp its should be possible to adjust the snap action by carefully bending in the right place, I do this frequently on old watches to get a nice clasp action. However, I don`t...
Another example to prove my point, this very afternoon!
Wifey's playing in a bridge tournament, expected to be home around 6. I`m still recovering from the cold from hell so happy to potter about...
I think this applies to lots of classic cars! Being able to do your own repair work is a big plus, can`t imagine owning a classic without doing my own work, even then it's all too easy to spend more...
I wouldn't, here's why:
Apart from the obvious water-ingress concerns, think about how the ultrasonic vibration will affect the lubrication in the movement. Likely effect is that the oil, applied...
My problem with texting is that folks work on the assumption that the recipient will see the message immediately, which depends on the recipient having their mobile phone close at hand at all times....
I rarely communicate by text, I`ve never got into what I call the tittle tattle text culture sending pointless messages back and forth, but what really puts me off is the ambiguity and scope for...
Whatever training or fitness regime is adopted, it's essential to write down and record everything, I`ve recently rediscovered this basic fact. Years ago when I ran seriously I always kept a training...
+1, how did folks do it in the era that pre-dates phones etc?
It's easy to put a programme together based on the equipment you have available, then to quote the Nike T-Shirt........Just Do It.

Having being an active runner for 53 years I have to smile at some of the shoe-related comments on this thread. Shoes need to be comfortable and feel 'right', that's the top and bottom of it, what...
Big difference between working on co-axial movements and the earlier ones. in my opinion a co-axial is far more likely to need replacement parts that can only be accessed by an Omega accredited...
Magnifier and good light required, then engage brain and observe very carefully what's happening. If you can`t see the problem you have to keep looking harder, that's what a repairer would do. It's a...
I tried varifocal contact lenses 15 years ago and couldn't get on with them, vision always seemed blurred, reminded me of having concussion.
If the latest ones are markedly better I might try...
Night Owl- Bobby Paris (Northern soul)
I`ve never done it myself, my wife did it many years ago, but I`ve done the Yorkshire 3 peaks a couple of times and that was tough enough on the joints and feet.
Personally it wouldn't appeal to...
The one on my bench is a 2782 but looks v. similar. Mine has a bumper movement cal 354 and dates from 1953, one of the first Constellations but doesn`t have a pie-pan dial.
Not sure whether the...
Assuming you're considering buying the watch, I`ll give a word of advice.....Don't!
The watch is a scruffy example that's obviously led a very hard life, little wonder considering the age (1950s)....
A couple of seconds with a naked flame will soften the Loctite, this is essential if damage to screws is to be avoided. As for the screwdriver width, I suggest getting one with a tapered blade and...
Why not ask your friendly local Postman next time he calls, I`m sure he'll oblige with an answer.
I get on very well with our local posties, they do a fine job, if I`m out they sometimes have 2...
I've still got a good stock of movement parts for 1960s Omegas and I`m still taking a few jobs on thesedays. PM me if interested, with more details of the watch and I`ll discuss prices etc.
It...
Unbranded NH35 movements are definitely NOT regulated to a better standard than Seiko branded ones. The watch manufacturer is going to the trouble of regulating them properly, which any manufacturer...
