A nice coincidence
Hi Bill,
I added my Seamaster below to the “Friday watch post” without looking what was already there and it was a pleasant surprise to see your Chronometer Seamaster adjacent to mine.
Doesn’t your movement number (27638037) place it in 1968, or do you use other indicators of its age? I am still on a steep learning curve with these Omega’s, but I am really enjoying myself again.
Thanks for the images.
Regards
Andrew
Hey Andrew , come over to the Omega Forum at the PuristSPro...
I did a quick dating from memory... Maybe I am off by a year... oh well... But seriously please come over to the Omega forum here at PuristSPro...

Impressive
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the kind invitation. I have been spending a bit of time looking through the archived posts on the Omega Forum and that is partly what I meant about “enjoying myself again”.
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the latest (and often expensive) watch releases, but I have reminded myself recently of one of the reasons I enjoyed horology in the first place: history. Omega has such a deep and great history, with some wonderful watches, and it’s great fun learning and discovering again.
I will get some more photos of this Seamaster (the movement is pristine) and put together a post. I am impressed that you can date the serial numbers from memory!
Regards
Andrew
Nice seamaster Bill, another one...
about selling. why did i do this to so many great watches i ask
myself.
why do i always see these great watches after i've sold the on i had
it always happens to me. its as if i sell something it becomes collectible and if i buy i goes off the boil 
1968 according to the serial no. web page. cal 564 date only, but with that same lovely sparkly silver dial.
You’re destined to be a leader, Graham…
… and the rest of us just follow in your footsteps. J

a leader? Andrew, not at...
could have been some years ago, but didnt put enough effort in on the promotion
exams.
of man, myself.
bargain, things seem to work out quite well for us, apart from inter village
politics which is bringing me down a bit at the moment. you need to live in
wales to understand it. however, the main protagonist is a recently evicted
tenant with nothing but mouth and spite, i'm a homeowner with a lovely wife and
kids so they'll have to carry me out in a box :)

Leadership
Hi Graham,
I think there are different ways to lead; perhaps ‘guide’ is a better word. It also doesn’t matter what age and we shouldn’t dwell on what we didn’t achieve, but look to who and what we can guide in the future. I write this more for myself than for you, and seeing as this thread is already off page 1, I know only you and I will read it!
I won’t pretend to understand Welsh village politics, but I hope the issues resolve themselves. I still remember your kind offer to visit and I will certainly keep it in mind. I tend to have fleeting business trips to major cities and rarely get time to ‘explore’, but it’s nice to daydream…
Kind regards
Andrew
Andrew, you are quite...
'regret and guilt are wasted emotions' you cant change the past so
should only look to the future using your past positive experiences to help
others if possible. family and friends are our #1 priorities and negative
outside influences should be ignored as much as possible.
failed marriage, but because of my 2nd marriage i have a perfect wife
and the chance to raise young children again hopefully overcoming the
mistakes we all make the first time around. they might not be my boys but
you'd never know it. after 9 years i'm their dad. i also have the
extra blessing of 2 'children' of my own. my son aged 20 and my little girl aged
17. they might live 200 miles away, but our relationship improves more and more
as the years progress.
reminding me.
Agreed ...
“You are quite right as ever ”
Graham, I need you to talk to my wife as she has a slightly different view to you… LOL
I agree with your comments. To do a little more umbilical gazing, guilt and regret can be very destructive emotions unless we learn from them. There has to be an element of forgiveness in there, both for ourselves and for others. Only then can we let go of the guilt and move on to bigger and better things together.
It’s true that we need to remind ourselves of what we have, particularly in regards to family and friends; Christmas is certainly a good time to do that.
Kind regards as always
Andrew
Ps. Actually I have a gorgeous wife who is very understanding and supportive. We do everything as a team, but she isn’t afraid to let me know when I am on the wrong track! I enjoy the way you speak of your wife and I am pleased you have found the right person to spend your life with.
