Posts 17,465 Likes 36,611 JimInOz ·Apr 7, 2017·Melbourne Australia Well, the cat is out of the bag so to say, with a few correct answers and @jimmyd13 being the first one to hit the nail on the head. So to let some of you not familiar with this item, another clue that you can use to search the internet for. But with all of the clues so far provided I don't expect it'll be long before somebody twigs. If you know what it is, just shout it to the world!
Posts 3,174 Likes 7,326 jimmyd13 ·Apr 7, 2017 Genuinely quite chuffed 😁 So ... this prize for getting the answer first ... did you say it was the watch itself? (Sometimes the simple fact that early wristwatches can be so well preserved just blows me away ... that really is a fantastic example of the watch).
Posts 17,465 Likes 36,611 JimInOz ·Apr 7, 2017·Melbourne Australia Well you're the winner, so I was going to have a look at my strap collection or some of my Omega memorabilia, or maybe an old Omega tool. What sort of stuff do you like?

Posts 2,364 Likes 12,700 Jwit ·Apr 7, 2017 To be totally honest I don't think I've even heard of Harwood before. But after about 7.5 seconds of googling I want one. Congrats on the acquisition @JimInOz !

Posts 17,465 Likes 36,611 JimInOz ·Apr 7, 2017·Melbourne Australia Some great info here http://www.harwood-watches.com/en/home/index.html and a wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harwood_(watchmaker) and finally, a grail, sorry, I mean, a watch.

Looks almost brand new, unlike mine that has been well-used. gatorcpa
