    i've been a bad boy and bought these

    well i have treated myself this week and bought 2 watches that i love

    first up is my speedie i think it's a 1969 the movement number is in the 31mil but i cant find it listed on this site http://www.chronomaddox.com/omega_serial_numbers.html it seems to go from 29mil to 32mil any idea why?
    im no expert so any opinions welcome also it has what i have been told is a very short run case back that only ran for a year or so as seen in the pics any one have any info on this? the bracelet number is 1171/1 and end links 633 which i think is right for this year is this correct?

    thanks for looking










    next up is my 1964 hueur this is a really stunning piece imho

    Love the domed plexi crystals. Very jealous indeed- of the Heuer in particular.

    hi paddy
    no problem it's not a large watch by any means it measures approx 31mm across the dial and 38mm all in including the crown and pushers lug to lug is 44mm and 18mm lug width hope that helps mate

    Very nice pair. How did you date the Carrera to 1964? Is there a reference page? I have one similar (the 2447S not the D) and have always wondered if there was a way of dating it.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    hi steve the only reason i said 64 is that is what i was told it was when i bought it and i have no reason to doubt the guy

    Re: i've been a bad boy and bought these

    best as my untrained eye can tell mine is exatly the same as this one so that would make it a 2447d is that correct?
    i hope this does not break any rules?

    We'll probably do something early in the New Year - hopefully with more than four of us! We'll keep you posted.

    I own a 1969 speedmaster and it has a 1171/1 bracelet and 633 end links which was a question the OP asked. Since the OP posted in 2010 there is a chance that the watch I own came originally from the OP via SC and some other parties. My watch also says it was the first on the moon, we cannot have two watches saying they were first on the moon!

    Both great watches. Love the vintage Hueurs but just don't know enough to trust my judgement. I need to do a lot more reading before I pull the trigger.
