Hi Sam,

I have Goldbergers other book. There is not much textual Info in it, but plenty of pics ( which admitedly can also be a source of Info ). Unfortunatley it has a few fakes & frankens thrown in there.

Since Xmas is coming & I was bored & it was on offer at Amazon & Gino said it was better than the previous Goldberger book & ... & .... I have ordered it.

Amazingly it was cheaper to order it from Amazon.com than it would have been from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de

So I'll let y'all know what it's like.

There's one cuurently in eBay => Omega Sportwatches eBay auction Which shows an example of one of the pages. ( It's cheaper to buy it from Amazon ! )

Here's the picture.

It does appear to have some text in ths book & (as Gino said) some pics of the watches from all the usual angles. Assuming that the watches are a good/high enough quality, there should be some useful info in there.

I'll let you know.

S.
