Service
No new additions, for me, this year, for the first time in... 18 years! But that doesn't mean it has been a bad year. First of all, we had some stunning gatherings and trips, like the one I had in Singakong. Or the meetings I had with some of you, in Paris. We really lived some extraordinary moments
The Omega CK 2913 is a significant early example from the brand's professional series, distinguished by its robust construction and focus on specific functional requirements. It represents a foundational piece in a lineage of watches designed for demanding environments, emphasizing legibility and durability. This reference is part of a trio of professional tool watches introduced concurrently, each tailored for different specialized applications, and it stands out for its particular design elements that cater to its intended purpose.
This reference typically features a stainless steel case, designed for resilience. It houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, known for its reliability and precision. The watch is fitted with a durable crystal, contributing to its overall robustness. The case dimensions were chosen to provide a substantial presence on the wrist while maintaining wearability, reflecting the practical considerations of its era.
For collectors, the CK 2913 is a highly sought-after reference due to its historical importance within Omega's catalog of purpose-built timepieces. It appeals to those interested in the development of specialized watches and the evolution of design principles focused on utility. Variations within this reference, particularly concerning dial and hand configurations, are points of interest for enthusiasts, highlighting the subtle distinctions that define its different iterations.
WOW ! Impressive service year ! I could not agree more with you as for the imperative necessity of regular service of our beauties in spite of the high cost. And thus also on the wise advice for a drastic concentration of the collection on few but very cherrished pieces. Best, Mike
IMO that was the best of the year. Very jealous. Just fab. Happy new year! Best Joe
because we need to use it, with the exception of those who had many in their huge garage. Watches seem to be neglected but on a microscopic level, these little gears and oils need more attention. I think you did the right thing to take good care of your watches. One concern I have is the service department capacity and capability, are they ready for the new wave of watches being produced? Does the watch industry produce/train enough service technicians or just focusing on selling? Thanks for sha
.. already the shining looks are pure pleasure, such a quality, such much substance ! And not forgetting, the time and energy to master your new Leica 6 ! - More than worthwhile ! Considering just the sum of your trips with horological "agenda" or "side-program" .. substantial ! Last but not least, time and effort to aid your friends in making some horological wishes come true - also a fine and commendable task ; - Thank you for that ! Each and every single watch in your pictorial "yearbook" is
which is more correct i think. Merry Christmas to you and family and everyone here and looking forward to a fruitful 2015!!
So it really cannot be counted as a zero sum year. Great watches, and I especially like the Polaris... Very right too on the phenomenal cost of servicing...the consideration to keep our collection in sane numbers ties directly to this. Have a great 2015 ahead.
