Not a Heuer & Not on my Wrist

Just back from 2 weeks of meetings in Switzerland. On the weekend I was able to buy this new-old-stock Omega Seamaster 60 at an old jewelry store that was going out of business. It still has the original hang tag and a plausibly original box. The original Omega waterproof strap has no sign of ever being buckled. The serial number shows it was made in about 1970. It still has its original tag which says its cost, when new, was 350 CHF.

I am showing it in the "What's On Your Wrist" thread even though I can't bring myself to put it on my wrist and leave the inevitable crease on the strap. It is about as close to a "NOS" wrist watch as I have ever bought...although it is not NOS because they old jeweler could not find the warranty papers.
