Anyone into watches?

He is getting the bezel and installing new crystal. I already have a 20mm 1965 bracelet to go with it. To make it legit. I bought a 36mm off him earlier last year. So should fetch about $25k but I’m going to sit on it for like ten years.

 

It was either buy one off this guy or I was going to get one in Jamaica this spring. Sooo.

 

He wants to ultrasonic clean it. I Says leave it cause it’s never been polished.

 

It was purchased in America by a good economic family. Then the grandfather passed it down to his son and grand kid.

On order is the 3-piece bezel has a spring in it. OEM:$3500usd
Aftermarket:$99.

 

I’ve had my Air-King running now for about 3 days. It’s starting to “loosen” up and is keeping perfect time now. I don’t have to pay $900.00 for a service!

 

Best $16 in rewards points I will ever spend.

 

Classically simple!

 

Just swapped out to a different 20mm band for this one. I’m using the 65’ that was on it, for the Subby if I ever see it.

 

It’s been a month! I’m pulling my hair out! As soon as it drops it’s worth $29k!

 

Here’s the 65’ bracelet just the clasp is worth a grand.

 

What website would you recommend for buying vintage Omega seamster etc?

 

This guy on EBay. Plenty of SeaMasters. His stuff is NICE.

 

Thank you!
Do you have first hand experience dealing with him?

 

Yes I bought my DateJust off of him. It’s an 81, runs perfect doesn’t loose a second. I was going to get a Submariner too, but I found the Holy Grail from an antiques dealer.

 

They actually send it to a watch authenticator. Then they do an thorough inspection and you get a card that links to your cellphone.

 

So, after leaving the Air-King on the winder for a night, it’s running well. But, when I hold it at 30% degrees or whatever, it stops. Then I hold it any other direction it’s fine.lol

 

Like to read it or listen to it. It stops.lol

 

Don’t say it’s the Pallet Fork either. I will lose my mind.

 

Don’t use cheap spring bars! I lost my dia Air-King while riding the motorcycle!

 

Took my wife and she found it!

 

OMG!

 

I got $2,500 invested in it!

 

I think they were factory spring bars! It got tight and then working the clutch.

 

what's with the 20 replies to yourself?

 

I just recovered $2,500. I will tone it down. Takes me 6 months to make that.
