Team, Being visited by a dear friend, let's call him Mr. G., with a small metallic bag. Weeks back he mentioned that he had a small collection ... Let's see a few pictures ... The bag: Opening the bag ... And ... "It's Full of Stars" (2001 a Space Odyssey...  

Thank you, Mr G!

1964? Notice the straight lugs. If my mind is not playing tricks, this watch was validated by the Omega Museum. I admire, giving the amazing variety of watches/models, a person that maintain a focused collection, like Mr. G. (No relations with Mr. Goldfin...
