Omega

(Moderators - I'm posting here because of heavy Omega content. Be free to move to another proper place) Every Sunday, from 9AM to 3PM, a flea market is organized under the arch of our main museum - MASP (Art Museum of Sãp Paulo). The only Sundays where th...  

Wish there were flea markets like that where I am! Haven't found any good ones...

...notably the Rose Bowl (Pasadena) flea market, but because it attracts the more affluent buyers (LA movie stars shop here for home furnishings), bargains are hard to find. My venue of choice lately has been at the NAWCC (National Association of Watch & ... 

This was, so my friends tell me, a play field. At that time, 80's, early 90's, it was possible to buy a Speedmaster Moon for meager US$ 100. Of course, the collectors from this golden era, got then by the dozen. Now, every single seller queries the usual ... 

... Sunday visit with us! I always find much pleasure visiting Flea Markets, though i had never made a watch purchase at any of them. But I like to browse through the different stands, even if I don´t collect the type of items in exhibit. I find always cu... 

I was never able to locate anything in San Telmo (tourist prices, I believe) but I know an amazing good restaurant (Brasserie) there. It's a great place to walk around. Cheers, Nilo Note: B.A. is Buenos Aires for the non South American ones.

... though there are several others, some big, some small, no one compares with San Telmo. There are many nice restaurants in the area, as well as a very interesting vintage watches shop. No bargains there, but some good surprises from time to time can be... 

I love Brazil, and I suppose Sao Paolo is a good first place to see! Hey, tell us what you got, I cannot find. Best, Nicolas

There are daily direct flights from Paris. After "only" 12 hours and you will land here. You will be very much welcome. About the acquisition ... I'm waiting to my watchmaker to finish his magic. Be patient. Cheers, Nilo

No message body

We can provide a new coffin on arrival. They are inexpensive here. Sad point is that the city is non-smoking on almost every place. No fumes under a roof. Sad times. Cheers, Nilo

Nilomis With regard to your last picture, though the case is not Omega-made, are the dial and movement, actually genuine Omega. I have seen one such watch for sale and on the inside of the back-cover, it says '18K' and nothing else. Is the case really 750... 

Harrisans, Is not uncommon, not only here but also on other countries, that Omega watches had been cased, in many cases with authorization from Omega, by a 3rd party. In this particular case, the seller is pretty reliable (and smart, after all he is a sel... 

Hi Nilomis Thanks for your response. If you happen to go to the market next time and if the same watch is still there, please ask the seller to confirm it is 18k white gold and if the dial is factory-original and had not been refinished or reconditioned, ... 

Before even reading your post I started gazing at your nice pictures and thought: Brrrrr! think of keeping a stand under such a heavy concrete beam! Then later, when reading the long list of artists theatening falling on ones' head, I realised the (cultur... 

I believe that I don't look too much. Huge concrete slab. Of course (a big NOT, based on our city "organization"), someone must be checking this structure from time to time. Cheers, Nilo...
