Happened across this Omega 1894 Homage today as I took my beloved Minerva Pythagore to a friend for repair (broken mainspring). No box or papers, but...mighty tempting...

Thoughts?

It looks correct as far as I can tell (and works, phew)...

I bought one NIB from an estate liquidator in Italy. I got lucky and didn't get scammed. It was areal treat. I was able to source the correct steel blue hands from Otto Frei. Just me, but they sure looked good with the navy blue gator strap I wore it with. I play poker with a group of Doctors that never saw a card they didn't like. One of them made me an offer I couldn't refuse and the watch went :-( It's a beautiful watch with plenty of wrist presence and I think you'd love it on your wrist.

. . . the , most compelling Omegas of the last twenty five years. There's one on eBay now located in Japan that might well find its way to my collection in the near future. Similar, but with deep blue dial treatment . . . the monotone dial on the one you're looking at is more conventional, but easier on the eyes. Besides Miki, there are at least three formerly active community members that have an 1894 Homage in their collections. You'll be in good company, to say the least. Art
