Saturday Omega ...
Team,
During our traditional weekly GTG, a dear friend was proudly wearing this Omega.
It looks like a 70's watch under very impressive mint conditions.
Few pics:
1) With my cup of espresso, as it must be.
2) On my wrist. I don't favor mesh straps but this one fits nicely on this watch.
I could not capture the amazing texture of the dial (Our GTG place don't has good light for pictures).
Those Omega's models are inexpensive but brings a lot of joy on the wrist.
He located this one last week on one of our flea markets.
Did you ever located a nice Omega on a flea sale?
Cheers,
Nilo

Very nice and should be made around 1968. The flea marked search can reveal a lot of hidden treasures and, that's the bad part, a lot of terrible nightmares. Yesterday I believe that I got a treasure (not Omega) but I need to do a lot of homework before I...
Thank you and looking forward to reading of your treasure :-)
Thank you very much for the information on the watch, Nilo. I'll be doing more reading and digging up on this and hopefully will get it back soon so that I can start experiencing what you and the others here do with vintage pieces. I'm already starting to...
Not exactly at a flea market, but . . .
. . . close. Found one Omega in a pawn shop . . . . . . another on Craigslist . . . [Craigslist photo] . . . and best of all, a score in my favorite bar! Sorry, but this dial side view of the cal 565 movement highlighting the replacement date ring is the ...
I envy you ...
We don't have pawn shops here! The only place where a person can pawn any good is state controlled and they only do, from time to time, some auctions, covered with an extremely complex bureaucratic process. But we have some flea markets where, if you are ...
