...68, eh 64 collection 
Well lets see if Ben can guess my age?
But you are right on the spot, if you look around you can really find nice vintage watches that a great and having a more than fair price.
You have proven this some times already

i've done it again, another Omega from 1964 has entered the family
i have been trying not to buy anything else for a while not that any of you will have noticed any slowing down this one was an absolute bargain which it would have been rude to ignore. a seamaster 600 ref 136.011 with the 611 date movement. i thought this...
Wow, Graham...
You will never stop collecting '64 wathces, my friend! Another amazing catch! I admire your efforts to gather such lovely pieces. Congratulations are in order. Best, 50 quids, you're the King! Nicolas
what can i say my...
what can i say my friend, its an addiction that fills the lonely hours between waking and sleeping :) it also fills the safe with enjoyment and potential investment. best the boy from 64.
agree with you...
... after doing more and more homework on those 1960's Omegas. indeed Omega made a lot of great movement with very reasonable cost during that time . among all my Seamaster 600, i have one with date function, but housed with cal.613. pic is attached to sh...
thats a nice 613 Stefan....
thats a nice 613 Stefan. i think i've seen it before in another post. IMO you cant beat vintage Omega for the best quality for the money. i look at other brands and the prices are very high for something that doesnt look to be any better although they are...
yep, another one. i...
yep, another one. i look forward to seeing you soon. i'll pm you later. best Graham
It's really quite remarkable that so many well preserved . . .
. . . samples from the golden age of Omega have survived until now, locked away in drawers, filing cabinets, shoe boxes, and attics. Here's a movement photo of Scott's linen dial Seamaster . . . . . . which he sourced from a Swedish collector who in turn ...
that movement is stunning Art,...
that movement is stunning Art, better than new if thats possible. your friends dial is also far nicer than any of mine. those applied numerals are really top drawer. i dont pay a huge amount which is perhaps why i get the more common dials. Big Daddy has ...
Another!
Another '68. Good job, G. I have a Seamaster 600 of similar vintage - will have to check the #s - it doesn't see daylight much as it's gold (not my thing)....but it was too good to leave alone.
thanks for taking 4 years...
thanks for taking 4 years off my age Ben. i know i look goooood, but not that good :)) i only went for it because of price and it being the date model. best G
OOops...
...at least I made the mistake in a flattering direction... I meant to type that I think mine is a '68....
no worries Ben, i know...
no worries Ben, i know i look young for my age, but you should see the state of the painting in the attic :-)))) best G
Just lovely. Enjoy.
As you know, i agree with you Graham, about vintage pieces. The hunt, the anticipation and the regular visits from the postman are part of what satisfies the craving, and I have to keep within budget. The disappointment one feels when a new piece is not q...

That is a bargain...!

Graham, well done on tracking down another.............
Beautiful piece from 1964. Enjoy it to the full when it returns. Regards Tony

thanks Tony, it seemed only fair to take it off the previous owners hands :-)) best G
thanks Quan, i actually...
thanks Quan, i actually did a post on all the 64 family i had at the time for my 5000th post in Feb. it was on HoMe. i 'think' i've only added a Smiths Everest and this SM600 since then. best Graham
