I agree... I also have one of those, that was during 15 years my (almost) everyday choice!

 

It has lost the first rang only three monthes ago, when I received a birthday gift, that I'm now wearing and that I'll show you later.

 

But I'm sure I'll be back to the "speedy" many times in the future!

Nice one...that model is by far my favorite Omega!  (nice condition too)

 

Funny you said that about Rolex Geo, I am wearing my vintage DateJust again and all I get is "is that real?"  When I say yes, I get a laugh like "sure it is" and when I say no, I get a lecture about being fake....lose lose situation there BUT no one will steal it from me so I consider Rolex a safe watch to wear daily;)

I know, right?! Absolutely gorgeous and my favorite brand too. Although I'm partial to steel and/or heavy link (diver style, etc) bracelets -- and Omega has nice ones -- in this case I'm with Geo: Leather! It highlights the nice lines and design of this specific Omega model.

My dream watch is the Omega Speedmaster with manual calibre 321...I'll take an 861 too, though.

 

I can't quite justify wearing something on my wrist that expensive--yet.

Give it time, you will;)  Having said that, I constantly forget if I wear a several thousand dollar watch over a 10 dollar repair job....this is also VERY sad when I slam it against something by mistake and forget which watch I am wearing, lol.  (when you have well over 300, you stop thinking about it I guess)

You have what? Three HUNDRED?!? And I thought I need therapy for obsessive compulsive disorder (level 5) with hoarding characteristics!

 

Someone who hoards may exhibit the following:

 

Inability to throw away possessions

  • Severe anxiety when attempting to discard items
  • Great difficulty categorizing or organizing possessions
  • Indecision about what to keep or where to put things
  • Distress, such as feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed by possessions
  • Suspicion of other people touching items
  • Obsessive thoughts and actions: fear of running out of an item or of needing it in the future.
  • Functional impairments, including loss of living space, social isolation, family or marital discord, financial difficulties, health hazards

These definitions describe me, of course.

 

Regards,

JC

LOL, I didn't say that I was normal;)  Yeah, I have been pushing the envelope recently man, I just love hoarding, I mean collecting them:D  I DO have the inability to sell them but all joking aside, I have sold two recently:  One of my Spaceviews and the other a "sunburst" Timex!

Ok, there is my next goal: 300 I'll tell the wife and she will understand....I only need about 10 more to get there! I'll talk her into making the last 10 memorable...errr, just in case, any of our hobbyist members is by any chance a divorce attorney? :D

 

PS. Joe, I think you more than deserve the watch of your dreams. Trust me, get it asap!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

You made a believer out of me Geo .  While I , like bobm12 , am partial to well made SS bracelets . From the heaver diver style , the more delicate beads of rice style,  to everything in between . This watch in particular really begs for black leather.

ramrod , good buddy ,...the way you described this watch is So sexy .

My choice is this basket weave design from Hadley Roma .

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I read that same article last night  H.  I think epilame is too much headache for me, sources aren't always accurate, some conflicting. Such is the GRAVITY of this situation, Is it ok if i just STICK  to a thixotropic oil 🤣

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Not sure I follow along. As I stated in one of my previous posts, the epilame will remain intact between rubbing parts as long as the surface is lubricated by oil or grease. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but note how the epilame-treated surface is illustrated in @Waggy's post. It looks like the oil is exposed to a binder (epilame!) so that it can't move sideways.

      The epilame under the oil will also be removed  Unless the oil makes a barrier between the epilame and the escape teeth 😅 I think i need two strong coffees now 🤣
