Eterna Eterna Matic 3000 Sevenday.

Predecessor of whole ETA 28xx Series. Basic blueplan for this movement and ETA 2893 is almost identical. Under 4 mm thick movement, with specific day and date setting and ball bearing rotor, thus Eterna 5 dot logo, here on crown.

Case is so called Goldhaube. Upper part of lugs and bezel is gold rolled. Rest of the case is stainless steel,so wear and tear of gold plating will not occur.

Bought based on 300 px blurry shot. Worth the risk.

I have no idea. I got it ages ago from some random alix vendor.

1970ish Omega Memomatic. This is the pilot line case, less common than the other 2 or 3 cases used for the Memomatic.

I felt it went off a bit, in the minus. Just checked it again there after a full wind and crown up it's -7 which in fairness isn't bad at all.
Dial up though it's more like -12 or so. Still not dreadful.

Toughest part of regulating an older watch. They tend to drift quite a bit but it seems to be holding its own :thumbup:
