I was in the Omega boutique last night and couldn't resist picking up a 'Bond NATO' ... Pricey for a NATO but by far the best feel and fit for this type of strap. Here it is fitted to my 'New Old Stock' Seamaster 300 166.0324...
And a quick pick of my original 165.024 from 1966...
My friends know it for long - I am a HUGE fan of the Maxidials.
They just look so much better on the Pre-Ceramic Toolwatches. And after you get used to them, the "normal" markers look a bit silly.
The dial is still glossy like it came from the factory, only the GMT-MASTER II wording has been done in white.
Now I need a wider minutehand for that watch :v

I know it's not Wednesday, but have to show off the new addition to the collection! Got it on the steel strap, and also picked up the Bond Nato. Absolutely in love with the watch.

Hello everyone! I'm relatively new to collecting so I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for finding reliable retailers of previously-owned Omega's. I found Watchfinder but I live in the US so I'm wondering if there's any US online companies that you may have found in your travels.

{[] like that bezel much better than the WG one.
And glad to see it on an Oyster bracelet, I could never warm up with the Jubilee in all those years

Is it my eyes, or do the markers look bigger than normal?
In terms of my Datejust - I do prefer them on the Oyster bracelet - still my favourite stainless steel bracelet after all these years.
I can't say that you won't see some examples from me with the WG bezel and Jubilee bracelet, though.....at some point.
The watch looked like that:
The first attempt had too much green:
and the color change took ages

Have you sprayed satin clear coat over the whole dial as well......or is that really my eyes?!

Beautiful watch. Congratulations on the purchase!
Here's a recent lume shot from my collection.
A bit blurry, but I'm sure many of you would have no trouble at all identifying this one
Could it be one of these? ; )
Cheers! -{
Not quite (apologies for being pedantic), either a 2531.80 or 2541.80.
But today, I'm actually wearing the Explorer 214270 (on a black NATO).
I use HQ Milton their prices are very good!

As a rule I'd say until she lights up or tells you to take the bloody thing out!
Insanely beautiful.
My pride and joy of my Skyfall Edition Planet Ocean with a newly official NATO strap fitted at Omega Boutique at Regent St, London...
Amazing! Love this one. I like the 007 logo at the 7.
