New Watch - Ollech & Weis

P1050651

My new watch turned up today, it is an O&W diver model ID 3077.

It's rather lovely to be honest. I have been thinking about a new watch for a while and thought of a "name" watch second hand like Omega or Tag but after spending time looking into the actual movements, faces etc. I discovered this little Swiss company after going to a few websites and have bought a quality watch for less than a second hand "name"

This is the description:
25 Jewel Automatic wind Eta 2824-2, with quick set date and hack seconds.
43mm (Including Crown) All steel case with screw on back. Rotating ratchet bezel. Screw Down crown. Sapphire Crystal. 200m Water Resistant.
Black calendar dial.
Solid link steel bracelet with screwed links.

It was bought from Roy at this site: http://www.rltwatches.co.uk

He makes some quality watches himself so have a look.

That looks really, really tasty. Good timekeeper, I hope.
I've got a fetish for Poljot Russian watches.

Nice to see you are back !

I do really like Poljot watches, you have to make sure you get the right one as seems to be a few fakes and stitch up merchants on eBay.

Keeps time really well, one day though it +20 seconds and the next it was spot on, so must of lost 20 seconds sitting on the bed side table.
