Aww, she remembered your favorite caliber. So romantic!

I remembered. She just nods her head and rolls her eyes.

Here are pictures of what my wife gives me every year for our anniversary.:seasix:

I have same watch, very nice :seasix:

3600+

:faint:

i got an $85 Seiko for Christmas a few years ago. :dance:

Any tips, complaints etc? Seems to be chugging right along. I haven't had a manual wind watch in years...Automatics, yes, but not manual wind. It's kind of different. :)

It's a great watch,no problems at all :seasix:

Back in early 70's I had a gold Omega self winding, had xxxxxxxmaster on the face, paid like 350 bux for it.....

Sold it back in '80 or so.....

got my money back outta it.....

:seasix:

So.....gonna show us the wife ?

holy crap that's a nice watch. I've been stalking that watch for 2 years, and finally decided $4500 was too expensive, and I backed down to the Bulova.

Congrats on the fantastic gift, your wife.... she's a keeper.

I just bought this this week... it's also an Apollo Moon Watch, Apollo 15, but it was a personal backup watch for Astronaut David Scott. He strapped it on when teh crystal on his Omega popped off. You can read the story here:

grey market is $4500 + .... an AD is probably $5500 +

:faint::faint::faint::faint:

this isn't helping..... :toetap:

Are we married to the same person?

Crystal scratches easily. Just be careful. Polywatch works great to polish scratched watch crystals. Some people recommend toothpaste, Simichrome, Brasso, etc. they all work, but still Polywatch works the best.

Yes. Already got one. :Jeff '79:

I had a reduced back in the day with the Hesalite Crystal and they are definitely scratch magnets. I did the toothpaste routine with that watch with good effect. I'm not going to be using this as a daily driver, so I'll go with the Polywatch on this one.

I strongly debated with the Sapphire Sandwich variant, but for originality sake I think the Hesalite looks better personally. More vintagey anyway. Since this is what the dealer had (Grey), and the wife was buying :D, I went with it.

BTW, purchased through DavidSW Nox. Cost was about $4.5

Might end up on a NATO. Bracelet is nice, but not as near as nice as my Tudor Black Bay Steel (got that one through Bernard). Tudor/Rolex has bracelets down to a fine art. :yesnod:

Regardless, I love this thing. :)

Now this is cool. I wish Bulova would do it in a mechanical variant...I would be all over it. Neat Watch with some provenance of its own! :seasix::)

Ohhh very nice!
