70's Breitling Chrono
Hey Guys...I normally spend time in the Rolex section, but I got drawn over here today on a thread about the Emergency...So I thought I would post some info about my 70's Chrono...My Mom gave this one to my Dad around 1975. He was flying a lot, so she wanted to get him a nice watch for timing his check-points (way before the day of GPS ) He was also a farmer, so he abused the watch daily, but it mechanically held up incredibly well...I started flying in 1986, so he passed in on to me...soon thereafter, I almost destroyed it in a motorcycle crash, when I was hit by a car and slid 90ft down the paved highway (I didn't measure it out, the Kentucky State Trooper did). Fortunately the case stayed off the pavement but a hole was eaten completely through the crystal during the slide. I had the crystal replaced and wore the watch daily for about 10 years.

Calling all Vintage Omega WISs, Need help
I hate to start my thread this way but I have my Granny's Omega watch and I would like to know if anyone can give me any information on it. I am told by my Aunt that my Grandfather purchased it while in Germany (They were married 70+ years so I'm thinking 1940s). The caseback has hallmarks for 18k, .750, the ladies head, Omega Watch Co, Fab Suisse, Swiss Made. I can plainly read 6 digits of the serial number and then it looks like there is a 9 but not like the other 9 in the serial number (not closed) and then a 2 I think. I have what I believe is a manual wind movement separate from the watch. The manual wind movement has Omega on it and a serial number. There is a quartz movement in the watch now. It appears that maybe a watchmaker (or not so much of one) at some point removed the manual wind movement and replaced it with the quartz movement. The face & hands looks original. I would just like to know if anyone can tell me anything about the watch. If what I'm thinking is true I w

Little bit of military
Been overseas now for a while and only brought my TAG Heuer Indy 500. Not to everyone's taste but its my daily so does get quite a battering!Family came to visit this week and brought my Omega with them. 1953, RAF. Good condition, complete and original.Here's a pic.

Price Increase? Prices Were Frozen?
I got my Bond GMT Co-ax 1.5 years ago. The tag price was $4500 CAD back then. A couple of days before new year, I went to the same jeweller-A.D. to check the price tag. It was $4500 CAD, same as 1.5 years ago.Do you think Omega (Semaster Bond) prices would rise this year? Any idea? Any info and opinion?I will be very happy if you could enlighten me, please.Capt.
