. . . and if your second act is anything like the first, I would like to be in your Rolodex. :-) Welcome to our Omega forum; you'll find more than a few fans salivating over this gorgeous example. Cordially, Art

Thank You :))

Hi Art, Thank you for your encouragement. I promise to post more shots of the 4 Omegas that I have. I must confess that my first love is still Rolex but I sure like the early speedmasters and seamasters. Cheers! Regards, Chong

Nice watch

Hi , I bought myself a set of lenses which were manufactured to fit over my IPhone 5 and.....what you see is what you get. Try it and will get some amazing shots of your watches. You can find these lenses on ebay. Cheers!

But I believe that the chronograph hand is more recent. Here is an example (look to the base of the hand): One rule that I follow, that may be wrong, is that every Speedmaster with the 321 movement should have the chronograph hand like the one on this pic...

I'm anxiously awaiting a 105.012-66 w/CB case to show up at my door step. Unfortunately it has the more modern chrono sweep as shown on the "Ed White". As I'm sure you're aware that a modern, but more correct long-tail chrono sweep is available from a reg...

Totally agree with your plan provided parts and funds are available. How do your add colour to the lume? don't mind me asking?

Correct.

Hi Nilo, You are right about the chrono hands. The set of hands were later replacements. The thing I like about collecting is that I will try to bring the configuration back to the original when funds are available. Then comes the fun part of trawling the... 

Great Patina on the watch
