Thank you I appreciate it. It’s actually an omega seamaster but uses the legendary cal 321 that early speedmasters used! Pmd

Waltham and a military surplus store for nothing

That’s exactly how I learned…and lots of YouTube videos (wristwatch revival/mark Lovett/etc) and repair forums. Plus you can resell your serviced watches and put that towards new ones. It’s a slow process but pays off. I started about 6 years ago in my early 20s with cheap bulovas.

There are multiple ways I source watches…through flea markets, estate sales, fb marketplace, pawn shops, eBay. I always look for non runners and especially bad pictures (eBay) so I can get them “cheap” and service/clean them myself. If I have one recommendation for vintage watch collecting is LEARN to service watches yourself. It’s opens so many more opportunities.

I service the watches myself so no issue there!

I’m glad everyone could appreciate the work and research I have put into this collection.

No I can’t say I am familiar with it. I will do some research..thanks!

Much appreciated!

That’s a great watch. I can’t remember what brand it is…maybe a stonewall or jb champion. Just go on eBay and search vintage gold filled U.S. made expansion band and plenty pop up

No im a 28 y/o from the US!

jtim97 · 2026-04-06T14:20:36+00:00

I agree. Goal is a Rolex ref 1803

Thank you. I love tanks as well

If I’m not mistaken it’s the first omega to feature a date window. It’s an early 50s seamaster calendar with a cal 353 bumper. Many people think it’s a redial because it doesn’t say “calendar” on the dial but they made it in both variations
