Original or not, red subs still command good money these days. Especially if it is in good condition and comes with the provenance to match. The bracelet and insert are no biggies, but try sourcing...

Don't mention it Peter! :)
Oddly enough, 2 years on, both of those watches in that review have now gone on to better homes. i suppose once you go vintage, there's no turning back! :D
...
Sounds like you got a stellar deal! :)
The pearl would have been tritium. Replacement NOS tritium pearls can be found sometimes. Someone wrote a mini review on the 16800 here... That particular...
Ah thanks for that. I've read some of the earlier 16800s came with a silver date wheel like the 1680s. Luminova pearl? Perhaps you could try sourcing a NOS tritium pearl. I really love the coffee...
That one is in fact the speedy 'reduced' with the slightly older dial configuration with the numbers indicating the minutes around the dial. The newer version of the speedy reduced has a dial closer...
The speedmaster ref 376.0822 has been known by a number of names, most notably the "grail", coined by the late Chuck Maddox. You can read more about this particular Lemania 5100 / Omega c.1045 based...
Nice pic Mark! :)
I'm considering getting an english date wheel installed at some point also. Are they easy to source?
Thanks guys! :D
Really do love the SD. I'm a big fan of the thicker case and higher profile. The last one I had (Ben's) had a really nicely patina-ed tritium dial. Here's a quick pic:

Whoa that looks good! Congrats on the acquisition! :)
Btw, is the date wheel silver?
Didn't actually get round to asking... was too busy oogling at everything else on offer... :)
I came across this beauty at one of my favourite vintage watch dealers here in Singapore. Didn't ask about it, but I thought I'd give a heads up in case anyone here is interested. :)

Very much overdue now, but I'd like to share with you guys two of my recent acquisitions. Some of you may perhaps remember me from my short stint in London which ended earlier this year. Have now...
Perhaps too late, but in this part of the world, they're going for just under GBP3,000. I'd add abit in to account for the recent service.
Cheers!

Where are you shipping to? I can think of 2 likely reasons why someone would want to do things this way; either he has available funds in his paypal account; or he's using a credit card to fund the...

Excellent photo! Could well be a rolex ad... :)
I have a slightly smaller wrist than you and agonised over this decision for a long while. Go try 'em on for size and chances are you'll know straight away which one you prefer. I like the look of...
Fairly common problem. The retaining 'thingy' inside the clasp has bent out of shape over the years. Can be bent back and fixed easily enough, or so I'm told. You can do it yourself.
I'd love a 376.0822 myself. There are a couple on ebay at the moment, but not cheap!
That EZM1 looks gorgeous... :shock:
Depends which line you're in I guess. Can get pretty bad though. On the upside, shops are mostly open 7 days a week till late. :)
Hi there!
Quite a few places in Singapore to see nice watches, but these are by far my favourite:

Ouch... that is steep. Interested in the 320 but not sure I'd pay the extra £800 for the GMT. Though i believe it also comes with the extra power reserve indicator feature on the back ala the PAM190....
The 1450 has achieved somewhat of a grail status for many Speedmaster fans due to it's solid construction, vintage look and relative rarity. These bracelets were made only for a couple years in the...
I believe some of the ADs might have them ready in stock. If I remember correctly, the last time I visited the watch gallery at South Kensington, the had a pretty good range of OEM Panerai straps...
