One of those was the GG-W-113 pilot's watch.? Produced in limited number in the mid-1980s, the Marathon GG-W-113 differs from other watches made under this specification by Hamilton and Benrus, the main difference being the large, curved case with integr

Omega Seamaster De Ville
Ok, so I was going through my jewelry box, and I discovered my great-uncle's Omega that my cousin gave me. She had no use for it, so she thought I would want it....she was right!! The only problem is, it needs a major overhaul. I guess i need to send it to Arlington.
