Kingsrider, glad you like it,...
Kingsrider, glad you like it, it took a long
time to find the right one. if you dont mind the year it was made there are
loads and loads around, but the majority are Frankenwatches or blatant far
eastern fakes with correct movements so be very very very careful. if you like
the watch and dont mind new parts you can buy a completely new one with vintage
movement from watchco in Australia. these watches are recognised by Omega as
correct, can be serviced by omega and are fully water resistant. price wise they
are on a par with a vintage piece, but they lack patina etc.

if you want a vintage one be sure to read every
article on the web about how to spot a fake and even then you'll still have to
be very careful. even Antiquorum sold a fake military issue at the Omegamania
sale! i didnt know about the sale until afterwards and i spotted it in the
catalogue straight away as did many other people, but they still sold it for an
obscene amount.

if you start looking for a vintage piece there
are plenty of us who will help advise you and Bill Sohne our moderator wrote a
very good article on the 300 a few years ago, but even with all the bits of
knowledge put together there are still unanswered questions about certain things
like which hands went with which dial.

a trilogy in 4 parts. 4 from 64
when Douglas Adams bought out the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy he produced a Trilogy in 4 parts and in a lateral way i think its quite appropriate. the answer to the meaning of life as we know is 45, but what is the question? here are 4 watches, they ar...
4 ' 64, 4 Omegas!
Nice score, my friend! Would have loved a lot doing the same with my favourite brand... Seems that I chose a different way by choosing different watches from different brands but of the same era. We should really do this post,, my friend. As for your 4 ac...
i should have added the...
i should have added the King Seiko, but thought i'd keep the post just to the Omegas.. G
I understand completely, Graham . . .
. . . and not to worry - you're amongst friends. The passion that seems like madness to others is a badge of honor here ;-) . . . cordially, Art
Very nice, Graham ...
I feel an obvious affinity with this group, as you know. Nicely done. Andrew Ps. actualy Douglas Adams' (or more specifically Deep Thought's) answer to life, the universe and everything was 42. However, Don't Panic, as having got there already I think he ...

its really embarrassing when you type something humorous, but get the details wrong. makes me feel like a total prat, but i'm used to that. i think that Douglas Adams got it wrong and the answer is actually 45 :) best me
I was thinking we should re-name TimeOut to ...
… Life, the universe and everything else . (With apologies to Douglas Adams.) A
Very nice collection, Graham!
Are you hunting down some other '64s for your collection currently? This seems like a fun theme -- collecting watches from your birth year! Cheers! Daos
thanx Daos, its a...
thanx Daos, its a nice theme as you have an attachment to them you dont have to other pieces. i 'think' that i've got to about the end now, but who knows. a Railmaster would make it land sea and air. i'll have to build some funds up before i buy anything ...
looks like dancing queens...
hi, really like your photos of these 4 lovely watches. you know at the first sight, i thought i was looking at 4 pretty dancing queens in front of my eyes... very interesting indeed and thanks for sharing... stefan
thanx Stefan. they now form...
thanx Stefan. they now form the basis of my vintage collection. they are keepers for the children or that is the intention. my eldest son was well impressed with the speedy as its probably going to be his when i pass to the watch auction in the sky. best ...
i am on my way of collecting some omega now...
hi, my collection will be going to my children too. stefan
