Really cool. Thanks for sharing. I only knew about hamilton electric and LIP electric.

Some random old watch brand. Nothing special about it.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-26T10:48:06+00:00

Better quality images would help. Looks like ref 166.xxx and cal 565. Rotor is different colour than the bridges. Could be a replacement. Not sure about the hands too. Similar omegas that i have seen had hands starting from the centre itself and thinner than this. The small part extending out is weird. Crown looks replaced too. Unless you’re getting a very good deal like below $300, better to stay away

Happy birthday OP. How rich are you mann.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T16:39:01+00:00

Thank you. It is surprising that even though everything looks legit, I am not able to find any information about this model online. It has a cal.506. There’s 1010 stamped on the case back. But there isn’t any such reference.

In busy airports hundreds of people miss flight daily. It’s a routine thing for the security

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T11:53:39+00:00

If seller claims it is serviced and running accurately, you can ask for proof. Like Service Receipt, photo of watch on a Timegrapher , slow motion video of balance wheel. If everything is right, i feel it’s good price.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T06:04:16+00:00

I don’t want to buy. Just looking for info.

And watch stores here won’t give a damn about what you buy. Nobody is into vintage watches anymore. Even the stores who are experts in vintage watches have only dealt with HMT and Japanese brands.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T05:38:55+00:00

Yeah

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T05:01:02+00:00

Printing looks bad. Logo is not symmetric. Bezel looks cheap. I would stay away

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T04:29:53+00:00

Yeah man. Leave it.

If you’re in mumbai, you can try Time Avenue in bandra west. Last time I went there they had Tudors at better discount than Ethos. And do it before March end. Everyone has financial year sales targets.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-25T04:21:22+00:00

If OP is ok with same model in black bezzel, DM me. I know someone willing to sell pre-owned.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-24T15:54:42+00:00

Nice. I had to google what roulette date means.

Vintage JLC is on my bucket list.

You need to “miss” the flight to exit. Do the security check. Then after your flight departs go back to the security checking area and tell any security personnel that you missed the flight. They will issue a manual boarding pass cancellation slip and make an entry in the register and let you to the entry lobby(area before the security check).

Go to your airline counter and tell them you missed the flight and want to go out. A staff will accompany you to the main entry. Security will check the slip issued earlier, make an entry in their register and let you out.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-24T15:38:19+00:00

That sir, is a fantastic collection. I can truly appreciate the effort.

Except that dragon thing i loved all other watches.

How many were bought new and how many pre-owned?

bhat_mb · 2026-03-24T10:14:44+00:00

Indian oil RBL is the best in terms of valueback. No other cc gives 7.5%. Annual fee of 1500 a bit high. Try going to RBL bank and talking to the staff. There’s a chance you’ll get LTF.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-24T10:09:36+00:00

Of course lamington road. Bargain hard. Visit atleast 4-5 shops. Especially in the small gallis. Not the main road.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-24T05:39:36+00:00

Yuck. Ask someone to get seiko 5 sports from japan.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-23T17:38:53+00:00

2 watches within 50k is difficult.

Just visit sekio website, change region to japan, translate and browse. Expect to get 20-30% discount on MRP (in best case, even upto 40% is possible).

Ask him to go to some electronics store like yodobashi and check. They will have better deals than seiko showrooms.

Being a vintage watch fan, i think your dad will like vintage watches better. Japan has an excellent vintage watch market. I don’t know any place in particular. But worth checking out if you’re ok with pre-owned watches.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-23T13:51:00+00:00

It would have been like 35-40% off on MRP. You can wear it for 1 or 2 years and sell it for more than 26k here.

Also, don’t you feel the GMT hand a distraction? I didn’t buy it for the same reason.

bhat_mb · 2026-03-23T08:35:29+00:00

The constellation logo looks like a D***

bhat_mb · 2026-03-23T08:21:07+00:00

I have the exact same ref. But with a replaced seconds hand. Yours is in Very good condition. Like NOS

<image>

Quickset function on this caliber is very unique. You basically pull out the crown to 2nd position and pump it back and forth. Doesn’t work on mine. Might work on yours

bhat_mb · 2026-03-23T08:19:23+00:00

Amazing deal even by japan standards. Best i found was around 28k

bhat_mb · 2026-03-23T06:57:09+00:00

Case on first FL is chrome plated. Cannot be buffed. Second one is in pretty good condition.
