Three Tachy Chronos

[Chase]

So I started off the week without any plans of new pick ups. Well somewhere along the line things went a bit sideways.

First I ordered a Speedmaster 57, 9300. My first Omega. This one had my attention a while and decided to finally pull the trigger, with bracelet.


Then came a 69/70 Mark II off eBay that has never been refinished. Already ordered new Crystal
with Tachy in case this one isn't just a simple in and out. First hand cranker too btw. Second Omega in case you weren't paying attention


And the third tachy Chrono I ordered this week is a stainless Tudor Fastrider. Usually only see the ceramic ones and price was right so see how this one does in my wrist. Always happy to invite a new Tudor into the house.


A fellow can never have too many tachy chronos can he..

That's amazing! I like all of them!

The Speedy 57 is a wonderful piece; the MK II will make you admire the old 861 movement and the Tudor... well... I did try one once, and it was very difficult not to bring it home...

Congratulations, Chase!

Congrats!! Like the two Omegas a lot. It's a matter of time that one of them will also come my way.

I've still got two maybe three to rotate out, so I'm gong to call it a wash

I feel like I'm buying a Model T dressed like a Bugatti Veyron.

How many times to I need to crank the old jalopy for a full charge?

There's a moment when it won't let you go on winding (unless you apply extreme pressure and break a few parts - never happened to me in the last 40 years). That's it; once every 24h, no more, no less. If the movement is in a reasonably shape, the winding should be smooth. Oh yes: and welcome to the world of vintage Omega! Now to the the watchmaker for a full service, because it probably needs...

Yes I'm pretty sure it does. I'd be happy if it were decent enough (it is supposed to be) to at least wear it a few times first though.
Couple movement shots of it. Mostly I wasn't too worried as it seems parts are very readily available. That is my quick perspective anyways hope in not wrong
