Chris_ Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Love the orange. 600m.. proper dive watch that.
capediver Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) So this thread got me to get out my late Dad's Omega and it's not working properly so needs a service. its a 1965/6 model in really good condition. Could somebody recommend a place in JHB that would be able to do a decent job on an old Omega? ThanksWhat ever you do, make sure the service you go to is an authorised one...also specify what you want done, with no instructions lots of these service centres will go ahead and polish, replace parts and try to make the watch new again and you will loose bevelled edges on the case etc from high polishing, not always something that will add value to the watch...some collectors like the watch in as found condition ie with scratches, faded lume, patina on the dial etc, be careful good luck and keep it safe!

capediver Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Seiko's new 5 Sports range have some real dogs but this one caught my eye the other day... gummibear, Underachiever and Patchelicious 3
CAAD4 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 They are great value, the emerald green is eye catching. The 5's are a little too small for my liking. A local store was very excited to show me the Brian May edition a few months ago, not my cuppa tea, I prefer Turtles and Samurai's.
CAAD4 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 New watch day [emoji122] Adjustments.jpgVery nice piece congrats. Not flashy either. Having seen the Rolex robbery video the other day, it reminded me of how many beauties will remain locked in safes, damn pity. Delarey 1
DawieO Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Woohoo! This arrived in mail yesterday... been waiting for EVER for the release. Wayne Potgieter, gummibear, Patchelicious and 1 other 4
capediver Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Seiko's new 5 Sports range have some real dogs but this one caught my eye the other day...So I tried it on and although it is 43mm, it wears quite small and the blue just wasn't right, too dull, basically an updated variation of the older SKX's.... However....alongside it was it's "younger", shyer cousin...the SRPB89J1, blown away by the sunburst dial, not a true divers' but I got other watches for that, bracelet is pinned with stamped clasp and hollow end-links but all of these are quickly forgotten when it's on your wrist...and at 44mm it wears like a 44, big but not chunky (only 13mm thick so good proportions for a watch with this dia...)...a beauty and proper value for money! the nerd, Delarey, Chris_ and 3 others 6
CAAD4 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Nice dial, Similar colour to the Save the Ocean versions. Congrats. capediver 1
