The expat cyclist Posted January 16, 2019 Share Hows this one different to the Fenix? Besides looking pretty awesome..Sits between the Fenix and the Vivoactive.But more “rugged” than both. gummibear, Chris_ and Grebel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted January 20, 2019 Share Hows this one different to the Fenix? Besides looking pretty awesome..Not as sports orientated as it's fitness orientated.What i like is the shock resistance.Seems to be made more for military and adventure races.

Unfortunately I sold mine when leaving the country. To be fair, it did pay for all of our flights! I do miss that watch. I really like the brown. It suits you. Congraulations Dawie.

The expat cyclist Posted January 21, 2019 Share Garmin Instinct.Looks like rain[/quot Very nice, what watch face have you got on there?The watch itself doesn’t have downloadable faces but rather pre-set faces. Within these faces you can select what widget goes where.It has analog and digital faces with black on white and white on black faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 25, 2019 Share During my garage cleanup on the weekend, I found a lot of stuff from the years gone by. This Omega was my grand father’s, and he bought it on 17/7/1952 (still have the receipt). It still works, providing I wind it up - but it doesn’t fit in my taste of watches. I’ll take it to a few jewelers to get it valued then put it up for sale. The receipt is hard to read (writing), but it looks like a 14-carat gold case.

I'm still living in hope that one day I'll be handed the location to my grandparents time-capsule garage and inside I'll find Pateks, an E-Type and a pile of share certificates....

Frosty Posted January 25, 2019 Share Don't sell it. You'll regret it down the line Curious, why would there be regret? Umm, I’ve had it for more than 20 years and it’s not adding any value currently. Depending on the valuation, I’ll make a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted January 26, 2019 Share During my garage cleanup on the weekend, I found a lot of stuff from the years gone by.

I’ll take it to a few jewelers to get it valued then put it up for sale. The receipt is hard to read (writing), but it looks like a 14-carat gold case. So really there are two scenarios here: 1. Its a bumper movement and worth a couple of thousand.. 2. Its a regular 5xx, 7xx, 10xx, movement in there, worth a bit less but still collectible. Just a warning, the market is down at the moment on Vintage Omega unless its a Speedmaster as the 50 year anni of the moon landing has kind of over shadowed everything. any chance on the paperwork there is a number in this sort of sequence 166.0163?

Frosty Posted January 27, 2019 Share I eventually found the details on the inside of the back case: 2643 refers to the following details on the Omega website.
