Also, I'm assuming (correct me if wrong) that those are OEM straps. Can you point me in the direction of a good maker? I would like to get a deployant for the 3717 I'm soon to purchase, but not willing to fork out the hundreds $$ for it!


I believe the datewheel design is in homage to the altimeter found in many a cockpit of fighter jets? I like it because it is differents.

Strap from HKTann. As to deployant......check TZ SC. There are good (and reasonable) sellers of dep. there.

I picked this up from Shnoop.com for only $150! It has a sapphire crystal and an ETA 2892 movement.

Sweet - evidently there's only the two of us here who think Accutron's are a good value.

Beautiful! My favourite Omega and one of the few watches I could see join my very modest collection (no-date sub & PAM 177).

Looks like it's floating.

In space.

One of mine as well. What is a good price on the Speedy new from an AD these days? I am looking possibly in the next few months to add to my Seamaster.

Picture of another in the stable (I have a Heuer Daytona as well. I love those old Heuer Caliber 12 chronos. So so distintive.)
