Omega Seamaster 300

This is a great watch. I've since given it to my brother-in-law to be. He really likes it. Vintage Omega Seamaster 300. Original case, movement and bezel/insert. Restoration involved a complete movement overhaul by a c.m.w/Omega specialist, and sourcing of dial from New Zealand. The crystal is NOS Omega, and it's fitted with new Omega hands, Luminova type, obtained from an Australian seller, I believe. Silver date wheel was replaced with black.Watch is fitted here on a steel Omega Speedmaster bracelet. The endpieces needed a little filing to get them to fit the case. The Omega dial is inky-black. T SWISS MADE T is positioned above index. The tritium is no longer of sufficient radioactivity, on both dial and bezel insert, to provide any luminescence, but both are aged similarly. The bezel insert is in fine shape. from.http://alanwatch.homestead.com/seamaster300.html

Vintage Patek Philippe screwback automatic ref. 3425

This vintage automatic Patek Philippe wrist watch, reference 3425, features a solid 18 karat gold two-piece case with a solid gold screw down case back.

Collectors know how prized screw back automatic Pateks have become in the marketplace. Removing the case back reveals one of the finest automatic movements ever made by Patek Philippe, the 37 jewel, sub seconds automatic Calibre 27-460. This powerhouse of a movement is adjusted to 5 positions as well as heat, cold and isochronism. The balance is a shock-resisting, self-compensating free-sprung Breguet balance-spring and is wound by a massive 18K gold rotor that carries so much mass that the slightest movement sends the rotor whizzing around in the case.

The dial is all original and is in excellent condition.

The watch measures 35 mm wide and 39 mm long.

This is the complete Vintage collectible, durable, elegant and a rock solid investment.from.http://www.yorktime.com/search?cid=25:sku=284

Longines watch from 1957

A vintage Longines wrist watch with one of the nicest manual movements used during the 1940’s and 50’s.
The solid stainless steel case has a very long profile with its extended lugs. The case has been detailed and is in excellent condition.
The restored satin silver dial is highlighted by gold coloured arrowhead hour markers that are replaced with stylized Arabic numerals at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock markers in what has been popularized by the Rolex Explorer.
The watch also features a detailed sub-seconds chapter in the bottom half of the dial. The 17 jewel Longines manual wind caliber 12.68Z movement was just serviced and is keeping great time. The 10,400,xxx serial number on the movement roughly dates the watch to 1957.
Overall a lovely and durable vintage watch that has all the styling cues people look for in a vintage piece, yet tough enough to wear everyday. from.http://www.yorktime.com/search?cid=21:sku=129

Omega 1944 - 1945

This is a very nice vintage Omega watch from the 1940s. Manual wind, center seconds, chronometer grade 16 jewel movement. It's from 1944 or 1945, based on its movement number. Movement caliber is 30SCT2-16, a 16 jewel indirect central seconds type.
It's a bit of a mysterious watch. Some of these have "US Army" issue markings on the back, but others do not. It seems like it was a civilian watch, for ordinary people, but that the US Army bought some and stamped the back.The watch is large, measuring 36 mm across, which is especially large for that era, when wrist watches were often smaller. It runs very well, keeping time to about 5 seconds per day. Winds, sets very smoothly.
The dial is strange. The hour numbers have an 'exploding' or 'eccentric' appearance, which looks a bit crazy. I like it. My friend Bill in Vancouver calls this dial 'Modernist, almost Conructivist.'
The dial on most of these models has undergone aging. You can see these little black colonies dotting the surface of the dial, across a background of light amber dial color. These usually had some sort of varnish or coating over the dial, and I believe this is what has yellowed slightly. It has a nice vintage patina to it which I like. More pictures below of this fine Omega. from.http://alanwatch.homestead.com/omega48.html

Rolex Explorer ref 1016

This is probably my favorite watch, of all the ones I own.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer, 1969.
Black matte dial
Lightly, and evenly aged off-white luminous material.
Screw down crown.
Solid link Oyster bracelet.
36 mm strong steel caseClassic Rolex watch, combines sport and dress features in a way that I don't think any other watch does. One of the best vintage watches of all time.
Though it had later become a classic watch, its origin was that of a "tool" type watch. It actually was developed for explorers, and was used by members of the successful 1953 Everest expedition (see below) as well as other expeditions before and after.
(The Rolex Milgauss, a very rare watch, is another tool watch, developed for a rather narrowly defined scientist, needing to work in areas of high magnetic field strength. The Milgauss could handle it. I'd love a Milgauss, but they're very rare and very expensive.)Dial is easily readable, with large luminous triangle at 12, Arabic numerals and markers. Mercedes style hands, like the Submariner. Earlier models had variations on dial signage, and hands, but the 1016, I believe, always had this appearance. Tritiated luminous material is no longer active.
