Art, I just got this last night, from a friend of my mom

I was asked to come over and give an opinion on whether some watches were worth fixing, by this elderly but very sharp woman.

Instead, I was handed almost a pound of gold jewelry that came from her mother and requested to get rid of it for her.
She kept all the fine stuff and big diamonds, but still had dozens of pieces of forgettable, but "recyclable" gold.
Then she gave me another small sack filled with watches - a partial compensation for the hard work, she said.

In the sack was this baby. I've only rubbed up the crystal a bit - probably will get it replaced - and I must admit I took off the Spiedel Twist-O-Flex band.

I know nothing about this Speedmaster (front-loading SS case) model but it's a nice size and quite smart-looking!

I went " incognito " to the Omega Boutique, near Place Vendome, just to see the ambiance and one or 2 models, too..LOL I can tell you that I was perfectly and nicely welcome in the Boutique, we were chatting about the Omega Book ,and I even saw a Tourbill...

. . . and have tried on six central tourbillons there, including a platinum model with a solid caseback . . . I love them all, but that would be my favorite of the bunch. Cordially, Art

Hey Art - sweet little Connie. Didn"t know you had one in your collection.

I just got it last week from our esteemed Omega moderator . . .

. . . it's a steel cal 505 chronometer in pretty much original condition, and will not be a safe queen . . . it will be serviced before I start wearing it, though . . . regards, Art
