Omega Seamaster 300M “No Time To Die”
artistmike replied to Rookie1986's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
I think that it's a shame that they aren't offering it on the normal Seamaster bracelet, which is without doubt the most comfortable bracelet I've ever worn, whereas mesh bracelets like that are awful! Otherwise, it's not a bad looking edition, and it has very clean looking lines. -
Cleaning a bronze watch with PVA
artistmike replied to fastmongrel's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
I thought that the whole idea of bronze watches, was to obtain a nice aged patina . -

New watch day! Heuer Autavia Calibre 02
artistmike replied to antjrice's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
I agree, it tends to be real aficionados of the early Heuer brand that feel that way, feeling that somehow the more modern 'Tag' input and then LVMH devalued the whole ethos of the brand built on their earlier glories, including the Steve McQueen Le Mans connection. This article explains how some feel the brand should still be .... https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/auctions/steve-mcqueens-le-mans-heuer-monaco-watch-to-be-auctioned The same applies to many brands though from the glory days, times change though, and I suppose that we collectors should just be glad that these -
New watch day! Heuer Autavia Calibre 02
artistmike replied to antjrice's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
That's a lovely looking pair of watches , and they look much better on leather anyway. The anti-Tag thing is just a purist's niggle and really happened in force when the company was bought out by a company like LVMH, that makes handbags. Some early Heuers, without the 'Tag' fetch some silly money these days though, much like early Speedmasters but when you've got a pair of watches that look like yours, you can't really go wrong ! -
Speedmaster serial appears hand etched??
artistmike replied to Mikey chapman's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
Well, my eyes aren't that good these days, so I'll take your word for that chocko , that would be about right for a serial number though which gives credence to the replacement back hypothesis and Omega are known for doing things like that, as JoT says, to maintain the integrity and water resistance of the case.
