Seriously?! Not again...but I'll take it.

I just stopped by a GW to see if hey had any jewelry jars and they had several. Nothing worth anything but there was this watch jar for $17.99. I saw a nice Diesel watch and the Raymond Weil so of course I bought it. I'm inpatient so I was in the car pulling out watches whenever I stopped. Decent Casios etc and got Town to the last watch I thought, a Timex with multiple watch bands. I pulled out the black leather band and imagine my shock and surprise when I discovered it was attached to an Omega Seamaster! I'm floored! At least my fourth or fifth Omega and from the GW where I've picked up 2-3 others. I have not taken the back off, but the crystal has the little Omega on the front. I'm still in shock. My luck for Omegas needs to transfer to Powerball jackpots!
This is what the jar looked like when I was reaching for the Timex
The latest Omega find

Nice! What is with all the Omegas emerging onto the market lately?

Owners are dying and family is giving their stuff away. Everyone knows Rolex but are not familiar with Omega. Works for me! It is amazing though.

Nailed it. I wish they did the samething with the more obscure luxury brands like AP, Corinne, Piaget IWC Tudor etc. it always seems to be Omega.

I have an original crown from eBay(India) for the Constellation. Dug through my tub of watches for NOS leather bands and it's looking better. Now I need to find someone cheap to replace the crown. I collect nothing and everything I own is available for sale at the right price...but these are screaming "Keep us!". But the last 564 cal Constellation sold for $1K on eBay...but it feels so good when I wear it....

You gotta be me! I donate some of my slow selling Flea Market stuff to a local Thrift Store that I know does good with the money they make from donated items and when I shopped around, all I could find was cheap watches and lots of costume jewelry. The paintings and prints were pretty much run-of-the-mill stuff but I did pick up a nice chrome on black "Hello Kitty" License Plate for my daughter.

Sweet finds!

Went to a different GW today and they had jars with old watches mixed in. I spent $104 on four jars. The Hamilton is from 1931 and works. The ladies diamond and sapphire watch does not work but is probably a quick fix. And it's platinum! My first platinum watch find. It had the "matching" 14k diamond and sapphire pendant tangled up around it. And the clover pendant is 6.6g of 10k and the diamond is real. So I'm happy my purchases are paid for! Also, researching the watches led me to learn that the ladies Tudor is made by Rolex. I didn't know that!

Freaking amazing. I can't believe the Watch jars there. You do know the Tudor is a Rolex!

ENAMEL WATCH IS COOL.
