Vintage Omega Lovers?

Hi there,

Any vintage omega lovers out there? Got my Seamaster 300 and started my search for a 321 speedmaster to complete the pair.

Thx dude :-) Ya, I also used to worry about scratching my watches but somehow over time, I begin to appreciate that if the watch is scratch, its more charming. So I dun really sent it for regular polishing, only when I send it for servicing than I will polish it at the same time.

Seamaster is cool too. If i can find a brand new 007 Seamaster, I think I will get it too.

Cheers!

the james bond seamaster is nice. i saw it at my AD recently, swee

I think ur Omega is good enough to pass to ur son lor ! He will be amazed to c three planets in ur watch !

N perhaps the watch can spike his interest in Science ? haha

Haha, so far, i dun even dare to show it to him. He will throw it unto the floor.

its a nice watch, but being an everyday watch makes it susceptible to scratches. do u guys ever send your watches for polishing?

I am also looking to get a seamaster chronometer in 1/2 yrs time for daily purposes.

Nice watch bro !!

2 more for ur wife ! ...

Thx! Yes for my wife in pointing out the watch and financing it too, haha. nevertheless, I will still continue to search for a Rolex and I think it will be enough for me. See, my plan is to have 2 nice watches so that i can pass it on to my boys next time. So I guess 1 will be this omega, and the other one will be a rolex. Unfortunately i can't afford a patek, the tag line suitably defines my thought.

i think self-winding allows the wearer to turn the crown to wind the watch up. On the moon, there is low gravity, so I guess the automatic winding (by wrist movement) does not work that well.

Hi GMT,

care to explan more abt the self-winding thingy ? Y is this about ? N what will happen if the moon watch does not have self-winding feature ? TIA

[GMT]

Wow, ur watch is nice !!!

N ur package also comes with some extras i c ... like the astronuat "combat ration" and some badges ah ?

How much u bought ur watch ? I am thinking of getting a moonwatch or a seamaster now ...

Like you, I initially was searching for the 007 Seamaster (as well as an Explorer II) and never really considered a Speedmaster until last Sunday. As I was going through the exhibition, I start falling in love with the history of the Speedmaster and particularily like those Space missions Speedmasters with special dials on 1 of the Choro face. But those were not for sale and apparently came from Omega Museum. And then my wife saw the Moon to Mars and she told me hey, why not consider this......

Honestly when I first saw it, I thot it looks a bit `swatchish' (and i still think so), then I thot the premium of $1k over a generic Speedmaster is a bit too much to pay. So I spend a bit more time sitting on the couch watching the Speedmaster History video, understanding further why there isnt a self-winding version and using hexalite crystal instead of saphpire just so that its like the original moon-watch and finally decided, ok, I'm sold!

Yeah, there are extras but not valuable stuff. They gave the `astronuat' frozen ice cream (but its given at the entrance, dun have to buy any watch), the catalogue, a Speedmaster history book and of coz the pin badges. All in i paid $5150.

nice speedmaster u have. I still prefer seasmaster. Was there yesterday, but only carry 3 seasmaster (latest model). So too bad.
