RIP Dave - I thought that he was pulling through it
I think that if you are looking to buy a 6309 etc., it is useful to know how to spot the fake dials, hands and bezels
The "A" in Japan, the bevelling on the date window, the positioning of the...
I have this one - Quartz - 7548-700C - Jan 1981
Bezel is White Text/Numbers

aren't there also 2 "HK Dials" ?
MOVT AND DIAL JAPAN CASED HONG KONG
and
MOVT JAPAN CASED HONG KONG
both after the script 6309 7040 (Suwa symbol)
Apart from the dial differences, there are also the 2 "variants"
6309-7040 - JPN domestic market and rest of world
and
6309-7049 which was sold, (designated), for the US market
there are 3 or 4 versions, (dials) - HK, Singapore, original
close up would be good
I think these are OK - but I think you will soon get fed up of wearing it once you have something better - and you will end up with a £100 watch that few want
Seiko have a lot of interesting...
there seems to be a few around with dealers at reasonable prices - good condition with (most of the) B & P's advertised for around £8k - the stock that dealers advertise are usually in good...
We recently had an en-suite built in one of our bedrooms - size was 2100 x 1000
We had a shower not a bath, but the rest was similar to yours - we bought most of the parts costing £2,400,...
But don't EV's have narrower tyres than a similar ICE - what I was trying to indicate, fwiw, is that the ride in an EV can be worse because of the state of UK roads, fwiw
with the current state of UK roads - holes all over the place and bad repairs after the telecom guys have done their bit, driving our i3 with it's skinny wheels/tyres is not pleasant!!
FS/FT - I've noticed that there are less "attractive" watches for sale or trade in the areas that I appreciate - but that's just my preference as I prefer "vintage" if you can call watches of the...
I had an earlier version, (2503.50) - 2010 I think
was indeed a lovely watch

Thanks
just wonder how many different "styles" of the 5513 there are
maybe there is a web site with an image etc., of every version throughout the years?
Turned out to be a typical Rolex thread, if somewhat early on - I think I'll stick to wearing a Heuer!!
That's really nice
it's surprising how many (very) slight differences there are between years
don't understand this at all - the Learning to fly posting has been deleted
all I did was start the thread with an image and a few comments
Learning to fly then posted "Mine" - I thought he...
there was no fuss - I obviously did not realise that it was a hyperlink
I saw you posting BEFORE your image came up and I presumed that when you said "mine" that you mean't that it was originally yours
I bought it over 20 years ago when we lived in France

Since 1983 Omega has been/is owned by the Swatch Group, the largest watch company in the world, it has hovered up many "brands" and they produce watches at various price points, some/most of good...
our i3 is range suffering in this cold weather
still it's a wonderful car to use for all our local miles - a delight to drive and park in town - great build quality with a solid feeling
My sincere condolences for your loss Eddie,
