"It" arrived yesterday. Yes, I'm speaking of . . .
. . . Erich's Omega chronometer tome.
Haven't been able to delve into it yet, but will soon.
A shout-out to Erich not only for compiling this reference work, which every Omega fan should own, but for his generosity assisting forum participants with questions mundane and arcane. He's been personally helpful on several occasions. It's not for nothing I refer to him as one of my main 'go-to' guys. (Our original Omega moderator, Bill Sohne, is the other, of course.)
Erich was an influence in guiding the course of my collection. Omega fans everywhere . . .
. . . are indebted.

It's a private printing, Nicolas - you'll have to contact Erich . . .
. . . as he's the publisher. Trust me: you need this book. Also, you need . . . [Ω ref 2366 30T2rg] . . . one of these. ;-) ...
"It's the water . . .
. . . that makes it Olympia." Likewise, it's the movement . . . [photo taken before servicing] . . . that makes it an Ω chronometer. ;-) ...
Thant is a fine looking watch, Art.
Thank you for the information regarding the book. I just sent you a pm. Sincerely Christian
I don’t own a copy ....
yet, but it looks very interesting. I could do with the watch to go with it !
My understanding is it's a limited printing, Captain, so . . .
. . . best to order while they're still available. Advisedly, Art
thank you, art, for this info.
May I ask, is there a fair coverage of observatory chronometers in the book? In advance thank you for your reply. best Z'
I've just started reading, Z, but towards the end of the book . . .
. . . there's a chapter devoted to prototypes and observatory calibers. Best, Art
Thank you, Art.
It sounds and looks like a must have. I am trying to contact Eirich, hoping it is not already too late. Kind regards Z'
Were you able to get on the list? . . .
. . . there are only two hundred copies in this initial printing, and unsure if there's going to be another. Art
Dear Art,
Yes, I did manage getting on the list. Thank you for drawing this wonderful book to my attention. Kind regards Z'
100% agreed with you Art
Both on the book and on the watch. I recently saw this in a vintage watch shop in Mexico City Unfortunately the dial is a little stained. What do you think? Best. René ...
Ref 2364, likely original dial, crown, and subseconds hand . . .
. . . not sure about minute and hour, though. A clearer picture would help. Thinking about this one for yourself, René?
I can’t deny it called my attention Art
But I would prefer one in steel and with the correct hands of course. Best and thanks for your input. René
Thanks for confirming my initial thoughts, Erich. I'm away from home . . .
. . . at the moment, and was going to consult your exhaustive book before making a final call. So much better to hear from the author directly! Gratefully, Art
Tanks Erich!
It is so good to have your opinion as well as Art’s! Real experts helping out. Wow! Best. René
The evolution of the 30mm Chronometer.....
Thank you Erich Lexer for making this splendid book! OMEGA 30 mm Chronometer ISBN 978-3-200-06002-9 / 1st edition 2019 ...
Many thanks for posting a photo of your volume . . .
. . . as I wasn't aware there was a standard edition in addition to the limited numbered edition yet. Gratefully, Art
undress your book...
Hi Art, have you ever undressed your book? (mean: take off the dust jacket). This is how the L.E. looks
