Omega WatchThe diamond wristwatch worn by rock music pioneer Buddy Holly “the day the music died” will be offered in a public auction by his widow along with over 100 other personal items. Holly was wearing the watch on February 3, 1959, when he and singers Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson were killed in a plane crash in Iowa.
“Buddy Holly’s widow, Maria Elena, has consigned the watch, unreleased music recordings and a treasure trove of other personal items that will be offered in a sale, April 14 and 15, to let his legion of fans own a part of Holly’s legacy,” said Doug Norwine of Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, Texas , the firm that will conduct the public auction.
The diamond and white gold Omega wristwatch is inscribed on the back, “Buddy Holly 12-1-58,” the date his bride of four months gave it to him as an early Christmas present.

Strange as I’m not one for complications, don’t own a pink / rose gold watch and prefer a round face but I just have the hots for this wonderful piece from the Omega Watch Collection, in a limited edition of 1,951.
A Few Omega’s, Warts and All!
Don’t get me wrong Foggy over at TZ-UK is a great guy but I do get a touch of jealousy each time I see his latest Omega purchase. I’m not jealous just because he has some GREAT watches its just that he snaps up many of them from car boot sales, thats right car boot sales!
Take a look at his post at TZ-UK to see what I mean and remember those aren’t the best ones he has “pinched”
If I’d paid full whack, I’d be homeless and up to my eyeballs in debt — thankfully neither applies
