Thoughts on the new MAEN Hudson 38 GMT or MAEN as a brand in general?

I recently saw this watch and am really attracted to it. I think I might pick one up but wanted to ask if any one has experience with this brand and w...

New Watch Alert

Recently acquired one of the OG Diver 65s from the modern releases. I was a little hesitant about sizing but the 40mm fits sooo well. Loving it so far...

I agree that Vintage Omega design language is pretty amazing! Surprisingly, this one was from Ebay. I found it with some serious time left on the clock so I was able to dig into the research and verify a lot of the parts before placing a bid. 

I have bought from Omega Enthusiast before and he does some great stuff. A little pricier though compared to some other sites depending on what you are looking to spend.

@Aurelian I agree completely. The fun is in the exploration and community that comes with that. I have found similar dial renditions but have yet to find another with a sub dial without numerals so I am still on the lookout. 

The cut-off six is hit or miss for me. If you can barely see it, I don't mind it as much but when they try to keep a good amount of the six it looks too disrupted. 

I think you are right about the dial movement combo and would track. 

@Aurelian @santiago @SimplyVintageWatches Thanks for your help!

Thanks @santiago! I think even having it narrowed down to 48-47 is helpful.

@Aurelian and @SimplyVintageWatches  You guys are the best! Thank you. I have a good amount of vintage already but usually am able to find information a little bit easier or they are Gruen watches which are pretty much untraceable.

Sounds like we are getting close to an answer! Here is a photo of the movement from the seller that might help. It looks like it says "CHs Tissot & Fils Swiss" and "Fifteen Jewels" which sounds like we are in the early 1950s. 

Also, thanks for the info @SimplyVintageWatches! I didn't even realize it came out before a lot of other brands pushed out their antimagnetic ref. Excited to have a historically significant piece.

Thank you for the insight! That is good to know a date range at least to start with. I don't have access to print ads at this time. Where would one go about finding print ads to get a firm date?

Woah! That is a sharp looking Benrus. Great change up for the military style they are known for. How does it sounds?
