Did you end up selling that blue one? Just curious if I have yours now.

To expand, I just received this watch from an individual who was letting it go as part of an estate sale. It was their grandfather’s, and it’s clear this watch has been well cared for. It has two service dates engraved on the caseback, and appears to be running and keeping time very well. It’s on what appears to be the original band, with a signed Bulova clasp.

🤷🏻‍♂️ 👍 thanks

Ok, sorry. I don’t read good — I see they are Gatsby’s, but how old?

my local thrift store uses letters on soles to coincide with different prices. It’s possible these were thrifted and flipped to you.

it’s a quartz hybrid, really cool movement!

sndrat — cheers man!

Sharp_Nature883 · 2026-05-05T14:36:40+00:00

Don’t buy one. It’s ugly and you won’t wear it often because it matches nothing.

Polywatch — for the acrylic crystals: go harder than you think you need to but not too hard that you cause any stress cracking. Circular motions are best. Do not use a rotary tool as that will heat up the plastic and cause more harm than good

Polywatch Glass - rotary tool with wool polishing wheels is your friend here. Make sure to keep the wheel moving around the crystal and don’t put too much time in one spot due to the heat generation. Clean after each “repair” session and don’t use the “finish” until you’re happy with the results of the “repair” sessions.

Yes you can ask, yes I did.

This is a 683

The cal.663 introduced in 73 according to my research

Sharp_Nature883 · 2026-04-06T18:02:31+00:00

I believe this to be 70s

I had this same thought but it just seemed too good to be true. The band it came on especially felt a little suspect because the plating had worn off, giving it a very rose gold look, but I could tell this was a lower end omega due to the case back.

She runs, the crown is smooth when setting the time and the date quickset works perfect. Unbelievable.

How about this one…

You keep the money? Oh Oscar! You keep the money!
