    I guess you can't set them up with the right lighting etc. Your photos are watch porn.

    My phone is too primitive to take half decent pics, I always have to use my camera; wrist pics become a bit more tricky. It's easier to place the watch somewhere and shoot.

    That is retro tastic! Is it vintage or a reissue? Details please.

    WRUW? An Omega?

    Details as follows:

    This is pure vintage. The Speedmaster 125 was issued by Omega in 1973 to commemorate its 125th anniversary. According to their website only 2000 were issued.

    This came from Bill LeBoeuf Jewellers in Barrie Ontario in Canada. They purchased it from its original owner and are the first people to open it up and service it. This beauty has a few dings from being lovingly worn but it has never been polished. The 1041 runs perfect and is keeping time at around +4 seconds a day, well within specs for this first ever automatic chronograph chronometer certified movement.

    I think I got lucky with this one.

    Excellent find! As you say, they're not that common and that piece looks in good shape.

    Congratulations.
