Good Nicolas! It is an interesting alternative to explore and prices are usually very low. Some dials like the waffle types shown by Art are just awesome. [nt]

Inspired by post published yesterday by our dear Blomman...
... and in coincidence with the watch I have been wearing during this week, I wish to share a few shots of my old Omega. It is a reference 2505-31 from circa 1948 (my birth year by the way so I'm as vintage as my watch! Lol!). This watch has a caliber 265...
Thank you so much dear Nicolas!! IĀ“m happy you like it!! This watch has been in my collection for some years...
... and I like to wear it from time to time. It is a "safe watch" to wear in my not so safe streets, while alowing to enjoy a beautiful vintage watch on the wrist. Gracias mi amigo!! Un abrazo!! Abel
The charm and beauty of a nice vintage is hard to beat...

... picture of it now. This watch was the property of my friendly watchmaker which services my watches since many years ago. He mantained it with much care and I couldnĀ“t resist to ask him to sell it to me a few years ago. Cheers! Abel
Absolutely stunning, my friend!
A close cousin to my 2400 SuverƤn! So many lovely details in a "at first look" plain dial. The silver mirror on the 12, the leaf hands, the mix of circular and triangular indexes.... Congrats, my friend! Best Blomman
Superb catch, dear Abel, and for it
to be a birth year watch, well, that's just extra icing. Well done ! Best regards, - - Seeks
