And considering the Valjoux 7750 movement inside it, it was a well-priced watch. <br />Also consider looking at the Omega calibre 552 models from the early sixties. They were rock solid.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-48698620873336843722015-01-04T19:16:13.183-08:002015-01-04T19:16:13.183-08:00@ Spiderwebz, I've always liked the Omega bran...@ Spiderwebz, I've always liked the Omega brand. They used to be the kind of watch, back in the '60s, that were well made, dependable and affordable for a lot of people. They are still well made and dependable, but their prices have certainly increased in recent years. Thanks for the kind words. <br /><br />@ Rob, I haven't seen OHMSS in quite a while. Would have been a nice Christmas movie to watch, but since Xmas day is also my son's birthday, he gets first dibs on what we watch. Gotta change that rule. The peppermint soap was one of my birthday presents from my wife. She knew I'd like the packaging. And Happy New Year to you too, sir!teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-42733733961567614032015-01-04T17:36:22.088-08:002015-01-04T17:36:22.088-08:00I was watching OHMSS on TV over the holidays and r...I was watching OHMSS on TV over the holidays and revelled in the period backgrounds and locations as much as the plot. And then I spotted peppermint soap as a prop above. No connection, but the 'incidentals' always make me linger.

I don't know much about watches, never wear any, but I do like to read your watch stories.

I almost bought one about six years ago. <br />As for vintage Omegas, any model from say, the late 1950s to the mid 1960s would be worth going for. If you get a Seamaster or Constellation from that era with a Calibre 562, 564 (Chronometer-rated) or 565, you will have a watch that will last you for quite a few decades to come. teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-55764767184160702982015-01-04T00:24:10.604-08:002015-01-04T00:24:10.604-08:00It's about time I'll leave a comment here,...It's about time I'll leave a comment here, as I read you almost weekly. I really like the typecasts you make, leaving space on the paper for the watches. Very neat! Typewriters and watches have my interest as well, although I only have a decent collection of the typewriters (see weblog). My watch is a Hamilton Jazzmaster Maestro auto chrono (h32716859) and also a Casio F-91w as the ultimate no nonsense watch. I would love to have a vintage Omega, like yours, but I would first have to get some more knowledge about what to buy and what not. Well, that'll come later, no hurry. Keep on writing in 2015!schrijfmachinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677147544714474667noreply@blogger.com
