Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

Another new arrival for me after parting with an Oris Chrono I had.

A 1973 Omega Seamaster F300 120m

A hummer as they are known due to the electronic tuning fork movement. Battery powered but with the smoothest second hand action you will ever see and chronometer accuracy to boot.

Amazing condition for the age although has had some overhaulling done but nothing to spoil it.

Bootsy looks a lovely watch in similar condition to my recently bought Omega Constellation. It feels great when you get one almost "out of the box condition" doesn't it.

I have now found on the web the most interesting info on Constellations the copies I have made almost resemble a book! I found a small date stamp of 3.62 on the SS Omega strap and from all the features of my watch reckon its a 1962 561 Calibre. I will refrain from taking the back off as its perfect at the moment but would like to know the number.

There are so many changes to Constellations its amazing.

I hope you will like me be very happy with your watch!

Yes, because I am a pioneer of fashion, a leader not a sheep you see

paul there is a mint pre moon on orginal bracelet for £2600 over on TZ at the moment. You need 50 posts to view the classifieds but if you're interested let me know.

The TZ thing is really annoying me, i really want to be able to use the site but they apparently arnt accepting new members at the moment, anyone know how/who i need to ask/beg/bribe to get a membership to this?

Scratched my breitling for the first time the other day, oh well, such is life.

I've put this on TZ but know its one you guys will like judging on this thread. Its a silly bargain price so thought I'd offer it you here too. Its fully boxed and all papers/booklets:

Managed to snatch this at a stupid bargain price for one of my best friends as I knew he would love it. He does but just hasn't got the watch funds at the moment and although I think its gorgeous too I'm still in ruthless mode.....so for sale for what it owes me £1220 including RMSD (paypal only if you pay their stupid fees)
