Yes, the 6694 is definitely a better watch, but the sentimental value and the memories that came along with this watch is immeasurable. Look at how elegant it is.Īs I am looking through these few pictures, I am still thinking if I had made the correct decision to trade it away for a 6694. Note that the strap was a little small for me…Īs I said, this is a simple three-hand watch, without much complications and pretentious stuffs. Wrist Shot (#3) featuring the gold buckle. Didn’t listen to her advice in the end and I wore this (and two other watches) instead of the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz which she had chosen! LOL 😀 I can still recall taking a few wrists shots and asking my friend if I should wear this for the event. This really brings back good memories, as it was done the night before I headed off for Pre-University Seminar. You can understand what I am trying to convey in the next few pictures… Nothing fanciful, nothing to boast, but certainly, nothing to pretend about. But other than that, it is just a simple, and practical three-hand watch. Housing this watch is the Omega Caliber 562 movement, which has a power reserve of probably around 30 hours now (hey, it’s a 40 year old watch, don’t expect much from it, heehee!) with the quickset date function (which I don’t really like, honestly). I only wore it on some slightly formal occasions, or when I am dressed formally (it kinda looks good with a suit actually, and below is a picture taken with my friend during Pre-U Seminar, where it was one of the rare occasions when I wore this watch…)īack to the watch. In these 10 months that I’ve owned it, I don’t recall wearing it for more than 40 times, even though my collection is rather small. However, as I mentioned, it was kind of small (and that it was very much a dress watch, in which I will display more pictures later) and so it didn’t receive as much wrists time as the others. I even worn it to sleep on that faithful night. But other than that, I still love the simplicity and the design of the watch. Disappointment starts to sink in though, when I realised that my hands were too fat for the thin watch strap, which looks kind of small on my wrists. As some of you know, I am not a really fussy buyer, so when I took a few quick glances at the watch, I thought it was pretty much ok and the deal was sealed within 10 minutes.Īfter a dinner at Soup Spoon with my friends, I immediately rushed home to admire my latest acquisition. So, on that faithful day on 24th August 2012, which was after school incidentally, I rushed my way from my school to Bishan MRT to meet up with this dude called Daniel. I did some research on it and contacted the seller immediately, and upon confirmation of the deal, we managed to set a date to meet up for me to inspect this watch. And it just so happens that this particular watch, the Omega Seamaster Caliber 562, was on sale and it was within my budget.
I was looking for another watch, because at that time I was kind of interested to add another watch to my collection ( I only have a Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz at that time, you see) and Omega was one of the brands that I am looking at. It all began on one fine evening when I was surfing the “Want to Sell” section on watch forums. But as what people says, things will not go as planned for most of the time… You see, when I bought this watch, I had plans to flip it to earn some profits. And I am contemplating whether I had made the right decision by taking up the offer for a trade with the Rolex 6694.
I’ve just received an offer for my vintage Omega Seamaster Caliber 562. I’ve never thought that I would say this, or perhaps, I’ve never thought that this day would come.
