Nice watches indeed, particulary fond of the Elgin and the Omega is very clean.
What movement is housed in the Omega. And not to get to far of topic but do you reside near Milwaukee. The reason I ask, come October I will be moving from Birmingham to Milwaukee. I've been up once to look at neighborhoods and
wonder if you may know the area.
Best, JR

The Omega has a 550 movement. I now have two of the same no name sea masters! I am getting another back from a service and redial! I can wait. Also have an Omega Chronostop Seamaster in for a service.
I worked near Milwaukee for 2 years. I live near Madison. Any of the north or west burbs will be good areas for you!
Ironically, I will be moving to Haleyville in a few years. It is north of Jasper and south of Florence

Thanks for posting. The Omega and the (Swiss made) Elgin look like they are from the 1950s. The GP is likely from the 1960s. Do you know any of the history of your watches?

The Girard Perregaux is a Gyromatic, although oddly enough it doesn't say anything about it on the face as they usually do.
Should be a calibre 19 through 22, late 50s, early 60s.
