I love the internet for the resources one can find. Some kind soul took the time to scan the original owners manual of the F300hz's so now i know the correct setting procedure and some more information as well. Fascinating reading! www.old-omegas.com/f300en.html

If you go back to my first post I have managed to grab better pictures via eBay's iPad app. Hopefully they show what lovely condition this watch is in for 42 years of age!

Thanks Steve, as I said there have been a few watches that have always been on my radar it just so happens they all but one seem to have come along at the same time and at prices I really could not pass.
Just one more to go now and to be honest I could have had a lesser version ages ago but this one is the most special and I have not yet seen the right one yet!

I love that you bought it from the original owner and a collector. You know it's been well cared for and it shows in the condition. Congrats Ian!

I agree Roger, looking at his feedback you can see he has had a thing for these hummers as he has sold a few from his collection. As I said to you as well I reckon he probably tops up his retirement by selling his collection and perhaps restoring a few new ones he finds, strikes me like that or that he has one heck of a collection of watches to pool from!
