The NOS thread

An invitation to post pictures of new old stock watches. Not put together watches built of service parts (for instance Watchco SM300: s or similar) or factory restored ones. We are talking real NOS here - watches that, for some reason, did not sell and ended up unfashionable and forgotten for a long time. Until they suddenly were rediscovered (and sometimes even considered attractive) again.
Here are mine. They came to me in different ways and at different times. Some might argue against the fact that I am using them. Well, I really like the thought of finding NOS examples but I do not like a watch not being used. It was meant to be used. I rotate them among circa 50 other watches and they only see office duty.

Citizen Leopard 36000 bph (edit - corrected from bpm as I had written...) on original bracelet. A somewhat unusual shaped watch
This movement also came in a chronometer version.





Seamaster 168.023, cal 751. 19mm between lugs. Do not think it needs a closer presentation...sparkly sparkly..


A large Seamaster 166.064, cal 752 (same as 751 but not a chronometer). 22mm lug width. Original Omega strap (dry beyond usable of age). Sparkly sparkly dial here too...


On a modern Hirsch alligator strap:


Large Seamaster Cosmic 2000. ref 166.0128. 20mm lugs.






At one time I had three 168.023 in my lap. Just one were mine - the rest was spoken for by another collector.


Here some other pics:




What NOS watches do you have?

This is as close as I get. 14k gold cal. 500 circa 1954 on original alligator strap with original 14k buckle, including box and papers...



Need to bug Al about getting this serviced...I won't trust anyone else!

Hi, just going to show one at the time 😀

NOS Omega Seamaster Automatic chronograph 176.005 from 1972, equipped with caliber 1040, factory sealed red dot on the back.

you're an evil bastard...... in the nicest possible way of course.

OMG 🤬

Ha 😀

That is just sick...

Sick I say!

Nos Omega Speedmaster Mark IV chronograph 176.009 from 1972, equipped with caliber 1040

So we've established that Stephan has a wayback machine. Is it stuck on 1972?

What monster have I created? I might regret this thread... I feel like opening my wallet wide open and just say - take what you want!

Have I told you recently how much I hate you? 😜

🥰🥰 🥰 I can see one of these will probably be my next Speedmaster purchase.

What an AWESOME idea for a thread! It's just amazing looking at the amount of detail and finishing Omega put into heir watches. More please!

Why isn't the dibs-ometer doing overtime on this thread? Have you guys already organised something in secret 😜

Nos Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 from 19/06 1974

Speachless...💰

Gorgeous 🥰 May I ask what the case reference and Cal are for this please Steve? That flat top 'S' is quite uncommon and very cool IMO

Most times, dibs are worthless on pieces like these. Once they're acquired they get stashed away and rarely come back up for sale. Hell, they might never make the WRUW thread either.
