Horological Meandering

The Eterna Sevenday Fastbeat has been my first vintage watch, and a NOS to boot. I suppose it gets much less wrist time than it deserves but it is such a charming piece every time I put it on. Reminds me of the funkiness of the era in which it was born an...  

The very first one was my Hamilton Otis "Reverso" from 1938. Almost 80 years old now WOW!!! What I particularly love is its history. Best wishes Alkiro ...  

How much this is?

Sorry but we don't talk about prices here. You should have a look at eBay or Chrono24 to find one. Warm welcome here by the way. Best wishes Alkiro

As Alkiro already pointed out, pricing - apart from potentially the RSP on new watches Looking forward to seeing and reading more from you here - welcome!

And it's not like there are that many different brands of Reversos Thanks for sharing, Alkiro!

My pleasure my friend. Best wishes Alkiro

Hi Similar era to your Eterna Was great value, it's still going strong. It's also an alarm - so a big win for me! Cheers JML ...  

Been looking at getting one of these for a while Thanks for sharing, JML!

More a case it's there if I want it. Applies to all my alarms, not just a Bellmatic. Alarm quite quiet - might be function of age. If you're wearing it you'll notice it , but not sure if you'd be woken by it of a morning. If you want loud - a cricket is t... 

Useful information, that. And as you said - timing things with a chronograph is the exception, rather than the rule

just like this one which was my fathers (but sadly stolen in a house break-in) One I still have that was passed down to me is this: Similarly fast & funky with your Eterna ;-) Cheers Giles ...  

Really great, both! Thanks for joining

Cheers, Giles

Really cool Omega, that. Was that the start of your love of watches?

Also as I said a while back, I am a very modest collector but when budget allows and permits to buy a watch, I hunt very very meticulously and toroughly, this is how I purchased three great vintage Omegas this summer.

Now I still lack both the knowledge and the time to immerse myself deeply into the vintage world...

. . . .gifted by a friend twelve years ago. It was in awful shape; the restoration process took five months, with input from no less than Chuck Maddox. Three years later, said friend passed away under tragic circumstances. Even though I'm not the supersti...  

Regarding Mr Snak, he used to be part of the Omega watchuseek forum crowd but it has been a long time I haven't heard of him. If you are in contact with him, give him my warmest regards and my hello

. . . and we bump into each other fairly often. I'll be sure to pass along your regards, Georges! Art

Do I recall correctly that a Mark II got to you eventually, via another great Purist?

. . . 'cause your memory is spot on!
