I used to collect watches for 8 years(and before that stamps, sports cards, and coins) and last January I finally found my end all be all watch (I guess you would call it a grail) and while not the most expensive or most illustrious or famous brand watch I have ever owned I was completely content. As an SLQ enthusiast last night on ebay I scored my hopefully end all be all coin that will hopefully fill the void that causes me to keep buyign coins, sometimes several fo the same ones over and over. As a plus it is NGC slabbed so I can play with it in the holder all day at work when I get bored and remind me why I got to work everyday to earn money to buy coins like this. I am open to expert opinions, play the guess the grade game, or what you would have paid for it. Sellers photos. Can't wait to get it and take my own.   |

Looks like it could be graded MS-65FH, I really can't see anything that would merit a lower grade but then the grading services are known for being ultra stingy with handing out MS-65 grades. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

Oh, yeah - nice coin. It's an Omega Dymanic from the late 1990's which was their reissue or homage or whatever you want to call it of the British RAF issued 1953 pilots watch.   |

Very nice looking coin. It may just be the photo but the surface of the reverse looks like it may have been cleaned to remove toning, however the level of detail looks clearly to be MS.

NICE COIN! I couldn't wait to see what the grade was, so I cheated and looked it up. :) I won't tell though.
I had to sell my 2 best 1917 Type I SLQs (both were S mint marks) and I still miss them. You made me want to start the hunt all over again. *sigh* Now if I only had any money!

Wonderful stuff, cd_god. We share a taste in watches - I wear a Christopher Ward C5 Aviator, bought back when Christopher Ward was cheap. Frankly, the Omega doesn't work that well for me, but anything else in the box you pictured would work just fine, thank you. Could you list the models? |

cd_god, I was fixin to post about my collecting watches as well, but then scrolled down and you were reffering to wrist watches. I collect antique Rail Road grade Pocket Watches. Your watches are nice though! MS63 FH, and she is a beauty as well!  Edited by oih82w8
