Fahkin'ell. That Omega Hydrographic Service watch is a beauty. Excellent dial, so this is worth a lot. Crown is non-original, but there are spares around. I recommend John Senior at Obsolete Watch And Clock Parts; email him. Probably looking at around the £100 mark. The strap may be an original 18mm Bonklip which is valuable alone as they were the original RAF/Fleet Air Arm issued straps.

Have been clearing out my Grandad's house this weekend, and was given a couple of things which may or may not interest you lot.
He was in the Fleet Air Arm, this is his HS8. Seems to be running fine which is amazing seeing as it's been in a box unused for nearly 30 years. Any idea what the original strap would've been on this? I'm tempted to put a nice tan leather one and wear it.
And this I can't find any info about anywhere, so any leads would be great. It doesn't work so guessing it might need servicing, I know nothing about watches...
