My Transitional Speedmaster 861--Lots of Pics!
Hey all.Just wanted to post some pics of the Transitional 861 I picked up. Before the pictures, I want to give a big thank you to 007Sub and pdoukas. Both TRF members gave me a lot of information, and advice on this purchase. Thank you very much, Greg and Pete I bought this watch from the second owner. He bought it in 1972 from the original owner. The only work that has been done to the watch is having the original crystal, which had a crack, replaced in 1972; a servicing in 2010; and lastly, a new Omega 1171 bracelet two weeks prior to the sale. Otherwise, the watch is as close to original as it was in 1968.The second owner was a part time flyer, who only used the watch during flights. He will be sending me a list of the places the watch has been, which I will post here. Apparently this watch has seen a lot of very cold places across Northern Canada.The bezel has faded from black to grey--a ghost bezel--which apparently is not an undesirable effect The dial has taken on an eve

Though I no longer own this watch, I wanted to share a couple of pics of the 5235G to show how incredible the dial is on this piece. It amazing because at different angles you get different sheen and color. Hope you guys enjoy the pics!

Quick presentation of my recently arrived 16710 GMT-MASTER II
Hi Rolex Lovers!Here some quick shots of my new 16710. I'm more than happy with this nearly full set in a sharp condition. I've got some 1675, 16700 and 16710 some years ago but unfortunately they were all flipped and replaced over the years with a 116710LN and a 116710BLRO... So after more than 7 years without one of the older references I've decided that I have to go back to the roots... :)Here we go!Thanks and have a great day!
