    FS: Others 1960's Omega Seamaster DeVille

    Has it ever been serviced? I was tempted to pick it up but servicing this watch will cost more than the watch itself.

    No more marking international shipments as 'gifts' - Govt. moves to fix ‘gifting’ loophole

    Well,I don't see the problem with removing the so called gift tag. None of the gifts are truly gifts,and are just chaps trying to escape paying taxes for their purchases. That being said,I am not supporting the customs laws as the duty nowadays is too exorbitant.I pay close to 50% tax on...

    What watch are you wearing today???

    Great to see the display case backs.I had heard from the factory back in 2013 that something like this was in the pipeline, but never got to see it. Then, fed up of waiting, I had my own display case backs fabricated. I must dig out that watch and wear it. Haven't used it in a while.

    What watch are you wearing today???

    Fantastic! Rs 2850 is insanely low. You're in Telangana right? I bought a bunch of gaskets, spares, some watch mod tools,a crown and a pair of movements to convert my skx into a hacking and hand winding one. Cost of parts-135 Euro/11000 Rs Customs paid-Rs 4900! That's 41% duty!

    'The HMT watches I own' thread

    ^^Aftermarket dial for sure. Case maybe a refurbished one, which has been re plated. But, if you can convince the shopkeeper it's not original and get it for cheap, you could get it, if a homage is fine with you.

    Adsl03 is the same size as adsl02,but having 20mm lugs,IIRC. If a modern size is what you need,try for NASL/NASS 03

    Where do you buy your vintage watches from?

    If you are in Bangalore, or go there, try Unity buildings. Or Chikpete. There are a ton of antiques to be had- Favre leuba, handsome Omegas, pocket watches, the lot. Most of these spots are dubious and some shady. The Omegas are mostly pawned off stuff but very nice indeed.
