Going through my girlfriend's grandmother's estate. I came across the old box filled with old watches.
While there are about six that are recent junk and going in the scrap pile, but there were also some interesting pieces in the lot.
Wondering if anything is worth servicing and adding to my collection/vintage wearables?

These would have come from a family man/mill worker who didn't have disposable income for anything fancy. These would have been likley been found commonly in the local…

For Sale: Omega Seamaster SMP 300M GMT "50th Anniversary" 2534.50

I've owned this watch for several years and have worn it regularly in rotation. I’ve likely worn it more than most of my pieces as this has been a favorite, usually worn on red and black sailcloth, with a swapped-out COKE AM Bezel insert to give it an individual and different feel as opposed to my other black dialed diving watches (I saw someone had this MOD on the web and had to make mine the same!) I’ve returned…

For Sale: Omega Seamaster Pro 300M (Ref. 2054.50 "Peter Blake")

I've owned this watch for several years and have worn it regularly in rotation. It was purchased without the original bracelet, and I’ve always worn it on sailcloth or rubber straps which more suited my style. Its a true daily watch that should be in any Omega fans collection.

This piece comes from my personal collection, part of a small batch I’m currently thinning out. I also own the similar quartz reference, and…

Hey, look: an opinion piece! Lol.
I "accidentally" ended up with 2 Peter Blake seamasters and I only want to keep one. I have a bunch of black dial divers and I see no real need for 2 of the same.
I have dozens of watches, mostly vintage seiko's, and oddball cheapy collectibles that I just like in display cases.
Most of my better watches are automatics. Other than this one, out of about 13 good watches (6 omegas, and a mix of Rolex, breitling, Tag, etc) , I only have a Tag, and an omega x33...

So I've been lurking for quite some time around here.
I've seen some different threads talking about how the moon swatch isn't in Omega blah blah blah.
I'm on a couple different omega watch sites, many of them sheer hate for the moon's watch.
My thoughts are that if you like watches in general, be at an omega or a moon swatch or an AP or a Timex, you appreciate watches.
And a watch even if it's an homage like the moon swatch, it still fits on your wrist.
Hoping the mentality around here is...
