Watches on the way to a wrist near you

[El Pablo]

Decided to move my Dagaz Typhoon II (Seiko Willard homage) and my bronze Steinhart Nav B-Uhr and replace them with a smaller cushion cased mechanical pilot/ field watch. I placed an order with Mimos yesterday for a Hamilton Pilot Pioneer mechanical (British W-10 reissue).

Mimo contacted me today to personally apologize for a website mixup that incorrectly showed that they had 1 unit in stock. He's ordering a replacement watch from Hamilton and even upgraded to the leather NATO strap version at no charge. @El Pablo had previously mentioned that Mimo was a great guy and he definitely seems to be after speaking with him.

I'll be posting the Dagaz Willard and Steinhart Nav B in the classifieds once the Hamilton arrives. Feel free to drop me a pm if you're interested in either piece in the meantime. The Willard will come on an unworn factory H link bracelet with an extra OEM rubber dive strap. The Nav B will come on a new XL length vintage Steinhart calf strap. Both are full kits and have warranty cards that should still be active IIRC.

Their service and pricing are both outstanding.

Ohhh nice. I’m looking for something similar. A simple silver case and dial omega is on my shopping list. Did you find it locally?

No. This came from a dealer friend in Ft. Myers, Florida. I know it's a Ref. 166 but beyond that neither he nor I have any clue of any additional information such as year.

@thor447 I'm not sure of the service history on this piece. Would you have any interest in looking it over, opening it up and making sure that everything is in good shape?

I was going through one of my old tool boxes today to help a cousin-in-law do some drywall work and came acrosss my old Timex Expedition (with a blue back light) went and got a 2016 battery and brought it back to life. What a gem...

From eBay, 30 bucks shipped. Normally not a gold watch fan but thought I would give this one a try.
