swedish beauty

Sweden has produced some beauties .. including this one..


but you cant buy victoria off flea bay.. so bought this beauty, an omega suveran produced for the swedish market in 1945 by omega. I am really pleased with the condition of thios one and cant wait to give it a new home. Have been after one for a while but to find a good condition 60 year old watch is no so easy...:

Mamas it has become an extreme pleasure to see your new Omega aquisitions week after week... keep them coming! I especially love that big seconds hand.
Do you have pictures of all the watches you own on a website by any chance? I'd love to see the whole set...

Very nice find a great vintage Omega looks all original.Picked up this old Seiko chronometer from 1943 for a few pounds.Running great after a clean but case plating badly worn,might get it re-plated.

thanks fro the comments guys
Kingblackbolt: dont have a website with them on and besides which only have about 10 vintages anyway.. so would be a pretty boring website compared to a lot out there

padi.. really like that seiko! great buy.. didnt realise that seiko's chronometer rated their watches in 1945 .. i think case would look nice replated.. think you got a great deal if you only payed a few quid.

tardis.. dont know why you cant see the pics???
