Bring a Loupe A Spillmann-Cased Doxa Chronograph, A Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601, And An Omega ...

Want to get in on the gilt dial action without entirely breaking the bank? Good news: It's more than doable While scrolling through eBay, I came across an Omega that initially stood out as a result of its dial, but upon closer inspection, I noticed it had a few more stories to tell than I had initially expected On the surface, this is an early waterproof Omega Seamaster with a glossy gilt dial, but upon flipping it over, you'll be delighted by the presence of an RAF inscription, suggesting high-flying provenance.

Even in their most basic forms, I'm a big fan of this Seamaster model Just as you'd expect, it's quadruple signed, with branding on the movement, case, dial, and crystal Yes, the crystal is branded - look closely toward its center, where you'll see a small Omega logo engraved into the plexiglass, suggesting its originality.

This is an added touch I've always liked, practiced primarily by Omega and Universal Genève. . Source
