Re: Masters of the air

Last week's episode had something about the red tails, about Alexander Hamilton who got shot down over France and became a POW. I met him once the real one, he was a specker at a VFW dinner my boss invited me to. When he got shot down think it might have been around D-Day their mission in P-51 musta...

Re: Anybody know something about this OLD Omega?

A photo of the movement might help. you can tell jewel count the model and from the serial number when it was made. There might be a serial number look up site where you can learn about it just by putting the serial number in. https://www.emmywatch.com/db/serial/omega/ https://watchexchangelondon.co...

Re: Omega RAF '53 Question

Here are photos of mine the one you posted has a better dial and case than mine. Make sure the dohicky a metal ring that goes inside the case back is there they are sometimes missing. But there a guy who made copies of that metal ring if missing keeps the movement from moving around. Omega used this...

Re: Hamilton’s new Ventura Dune watches

When I use to go to a NAWCC mart in the Bay Area there was a seller there that always had a few Ventura for sell. Always wished I bought one from him they are real nice looking watches in the flesh when you see one. Much better looking than these modern remakes. But the 505 electric movements can co...

Re: Seiko 6105

Here is mine. Got it for 450 off eBay in the old days needed work but even with that cheaper than today. The locking crown still works.

There was an unmolested one on the MWR PX that sold for 1280 AUS dollars with the US exchange rate would have been a great deal.

Very cool! Does the crown screw down? No, it doesn't the old school O -ring in the crown set up. It had no C on crown so a replacement.

Re: Just got the itch for for another vintage diver

Can't believe this found an original crystal for it. Has 665 on the package so knew for sure it was correct. I think this crystal will make you see the dial better so make the dial easier to see and make it where I might not want to relume it. The old crystal been beat up some cracks and maybe a lit...

Re: Just got the itch for for another vintage diver

Well received it the other day keeps good time 5 seconds slow a day. Am thinking of sending it to Jack to relume the dial to match hands. And if he can locate a Bulova 666 with date window dial have that replaced if not keep the original figure a new crystal you could see the dial better. Put a trop...
