The watches I wore most often, around 2001

SM30

Omega Seamaster 30

Omega - 17 jewel signed manual wind movement (cal. 286), near mint stainless steel signed round screw back case (35mm, no personalized engraving), new crown, near mint signed, black luminous marker and painted numeral dial, sweep seconds. Superb overall condition on this late 1950's "Seamaster 30" Omega says was originally sold to the Indian Army. New dial has the latest phosphours and glows like a bastard. Has NOS balance complete installed. Of all the different cases used in the Seamaster 30 watch I think this is the nicest. If you want an accurate watch that you can read at night, this is the one for you.



2CROWN

Bulova twin crown divers super compressor

Bulova - Superb Swiss made 'super compressor' screw back stainless steel case (36mm, no personalized engraving), 17 jewel signed full rotor automatic movement (cal 11AFAC), Bulova crowns, near mint+ signed black dial (original) with luminous numerals and markers, rotating inner diver's bezel calibrated in minutes, sweep seconds. Exceptionally nice original dial on this 1962 Bulova diver's timepiece. Exact same case as used by Longines, JLC etc for their version of this watch. The Bulova just had the better movement :-)



YGFSM

Gold top Omega Seamaster.

20 jewel signed full rotor automatic movement (cal. 501), near mint 14K yellow gold-shell signed round press back case (34mm, no personalized engraving), Omega YGF crown, superb original "dagger" dial with applied gold hour and minute markers with a lovely patina, sweep seconds. On ostrich strap. With the nearly flawless case and superb orginal dial it's one of the few unmolested original Seamasters left.



SS14KSM

SS/14k Omega Seamaster

20 jewel signed full rotor automatic movement (cal. 501), near mint 14K yellow gold bezel on stainless steel signed round press back case (34mm, no personalized engraving), Omega YGF crown, excellent two tone dial with applied gold hour and minute markers, sweep seconds. On period correct JB Champion YGF/SS bracelet. Omega sold this braclet with it's own name on it they bought from from Champion. This is the same bracelet with a JB Champion clasp. Finding this style of bracelet in ss/14K is exceptionally difficult. Finding one with endpieces even more so and the astute observer will note the gold endpieces. I can't tell you just how many bits I had to buy to get this bracelet to work. Nicer than a datejust though at the end of the day.
