As George Michael once famously said “If you’re gonna do it, do it right - right?” and thats how I feel about this piece. More of a display than anything else it doubles up for me as a casual winder, battery operated so handy for the safe.
Its a very impressive and rare piece of kit […]

I don’t suppose we should be surprised, after all Rolex have been trying to copy Omega for years.
Currently a triumph of style over substance [hence much in keeping with the brand itself] take a look at Rolex Blogger. He has wisely linked to here so can’t be all that bad :)
One to keep an […]

I have always struggled with making the right choice with straps. I’d spend a small fortune on a watch and then dig around for a cheap strap, don’t know why! Finally and with the help of an Omega Ranchero I have come to some sort of peace with myself.
If its a new watch then original […]

I’m a difficult blogger to please.
I like A1 condition, originality and a cheap price in my Omega watch purchases, but as they say you can only pick two out of the three.
Here is my Omega Ranchero produced in 1957 and on sale from 1958 I believe, A1 condition and 100% original ;)

What is difficult […]

Well I’ve never been a fan of the two-tone Omega style until I saw this!
jmsrolls over at WUS posted a shot of his collection [thumb below], take a look at the thread here and see why you might just change your mind about the two-tone style.

Time has come to thin the collection out a little I’m afraid [44 is just too many Omega watches according to the wife!].
Feast your eyes on this stunning Omega F300, great condition and a fantastic looker on the wrist. For sale only to a good home please!

Rather worryingly word has reached me of what can only be described as an unsavory incident with a snorkel, I shall be having words on Aqua’s return.
Filling in this week we have the rather nice red Omega box that Bienne use to return restored watches to the owner.
So…..Whats in the rather nice red box […]

I don’t recall the 70’s being this good!
This new old stock example came direct from Switzerland and has never been worn.
As they say, keep them long enough and they will come back in fashion, maybe Wrist Fashion will like this one.
Enjoy.

[Thats right an Omega watch movie with sound!]

Repeat…the Vintage Watch Service is Back On-line at 14.17 GMT Monday August 15th 2005.
Enjoy.

It’s not easy being me you know, life can be hard at times, so many decisions and choices to make.
Some are very easy….
Gizmodo or Engadget is very straightforward. The elegance and superior writing skillz of the Gizmodo weblog far outweigh the rather forced and tabloid style of the upstart Enbodget [sic].
Some a trifle more difficult….
Windows, […]
