Just won an auction for one of my dream watches!

Wow. Looks pricey. Must be nice to have the funds for that. Maybe one day I will as well.

Techymetre. Pfft, they can't even spelled tachometer right.

Very nice!

My favorite offering from Omega is Seamaster Professional Planet Ocean, but the Speedmaster is way up there on my list as well.

..Someday I'll be able to own one, but until then it's just my SKX781K1 and my growing collection of $5 soviet mechanicals.

I've got a couple of cheap Seiko's and Russian watches. Really good value for the money.

The Swiss speak French, German, and Italian. They're probably a tad confused LOL

Plus they let me play around with home watch repair without fear of breaking anything too expensive.

I wanna get into that. Just need to get some tools.

As with most things, the best tools are vintage ones. I've bought many of mine on ebay. New tools tend to break after a few uses, older ones were made for a lifetime of use.

Congrats! That's a keeper. Omega has been making great watches for decades, I have one that I inherited from my dad. The automatic self-winding mechanism is still working fine after a half century. These watches are over-built to last, and unlike some other watch brands, aren't anywhere near as "look at me!" blingy.

Very nice. I was in the market for an automatic chronograph and had been eyeing some used Speedmasters on ebay a few months ago. There were some pretty good deals to be had, but I ended up going with a new Hamilton instead

Thank you!

That's what drew me to Omega. That understated look is pure class.

I really like Hamiltons too. I have a Khaki Field Auto and want to add a Khaki Pilot sometime in the future.

Love it! I want a Seamaster, but yours is terrific. My cheap Wenger will do for now.

Very nice! Love these.

I'm looking at a Flightmaster right now myself.
