Is it Safe to Play Golf With My Omega Watch On?

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Interesting discussion over at TimeZone, contains a little bit of everything. Physics, engineering, opinions, patents and even a little flaming, in short the perfect thread. The answer is straightforward in my view. Omega say it is OK and state “Omega watches are shock-resistant to 5000 g”. So the upshot is enjoy your Golf, enjoy your […]

OMEGA SPEEDMASTER 1959 pre MOON RARE 321 2998-1

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

I must admit to becoming fascinated by the market prices on the pre-moon Speedmasters. This latest example tipped the scales at just over $8000, which nowadays seems a fair price, even though I think its more likely to be a 1960 than a 1959 [huge difference imho]. I’m not a big fan of the 2998, […]

Poor Mans Omega Ranchero

Friday, August 26th, 2005

No question that the Omega Ranchero CK 2990 is a GREAT looking watch, a true 50’s classic. Problem is everybody else thinks so too and they fetch a pretty penny. So what’s a man to do….you love the look but hate the price. How about this, a classic Seamaster 30, Caliber 268, 30 mm, 17 […]

Saturday, August 20th, 2005

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 […]
