Resistance was futile,...the Omega CK 859.

 
 By: jlux : May 25th, 2022-09:59
After so many of our dear forum members had shown pictures of their CK 859 I was eager to discover the watch in real...and this is the result. I just could not resist the beautie of this watch! What impressed me most were the near perfect proportions of t...  

Congratulations

I was very close to pulling the trigger myself... trying it on is dangerous Secretly hoping they release a black dial next year; it would be historically relevant and could be nice with white hands

Something like this maybe

Advice

Stop Vinnie. You are doing right! I can feel almost Omega comes up with it. I can not give any guarantee. I have no crystal ball. What i did is waiting till the perfect watch appears. My situation was, i spotted a watch which was almost in my possession. ... 

Thanks Weems for your nice advice

It was somewhat difficult to decline this new CK859 given that it fits very much what I am looking for. There have been some other sector dials in the recent past (Patek, JLC Master, Longines) but all had minor flaws in my eyes. Omega is the best so far b... 

Sector dials are hot

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 29th, 2022-19:53
I never wore a watch with a sector dial. I guess my next watch have a kind of a sector dial, or the model line contain sector dials. It is a Baume and Mercier Clifton.

The sector dial and the Clifton.

Right, the blue and some other BM Cliftons. The one i go to collect is without. Also it is no Cosc. What it is? A moon phase. I like to collect for purpose and complication. I start with time only’s, expand with day date, high water resistance, moon phase... 

Many thanks,yes,it feels great on the wrist !!

 
 By: jlux : May 25th, 2022-10:30
Omega really nailed it with this one.

Yes they did!

Phenomenal photos and huge congratulations!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : May 25th, 2022-10:46
A definite soon-to-be classic.

Beautiful watch!

 
 By: MiguelFlash : May 25th, 2022-11:29
I agree, the proportions are sublime. Looks great on your wrist.

It surely is.

 
 By: jlux : May 25th, 2022-11:57
Once you see and touch it....you are lost

Congratulations!

 By: johnnymoped : May 25th, 2022-12:03
I am also looking at this watch for quite some time

Definitely!

 
 By: johnnymoped : May 26th, 2022-12:25
Couldn't agree more.

You know, Gerard....

Some of us are still trying to hold out. You are part of the problem now Wonderful photos and wear it in the best of health!

Many thanks.

 
 By: jlux : May 25th, 2022-12:41
I like to be part of that problem

Congrats!

Thank you!

 
 By: jlux : May 25th, 2022-12:42

Most likely heat blued

 
 By: Aquaracer1 : May 25th, 2022-12:31
Instead of painted is my best guess

Also my guess.

 By: shortys home : May 25th, 2022-16:36
It’s a great watch indeed, with only one downside: hand winding to full power reserve takes forever and a day. Cheers Henrik

Thank you,Henrik!

 
 By: jlux : May 25th, 2022-17:25
You are right : takes me about 90-100 turns to fully wind it !!

Our newest community is expanding every week! Congrats, Gerard . . .

I have hardly ever seen a watch growing so fast in popularity within our forum community!

Congrats! Very hard to pass up once seen in person..

your photos are incredible, Omega should pay you for them and use them as advertisements! -D-

OR give you the watch for free....

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 27th, 2022-17:09
Guarantee this sold a couple of forum members! -D-

Gorgeous pictures, gorgeous watch!

 
 By: mblum3 : May 26th, 2022-00:19
Have owned some fantastic vintage Omegas. Very tempted by this one. As Oscar Wilde said, "the only way to beat temptation is to yield to it"!!

huge congratulations....

 
 By: mahesh : May 26th, 2022-09:33
I think Omega did something extremely likable with the sector dial. PP & JLC did that few years ago, but the date window ruined the dial IMHO - Omega kept it pure. I also like the domed sapphire on the timepiece, it is very well done. your pics are stunni...  

Many thanks for your kind words.

 
 By: jlux : May 27th, 2022-16:59
You are right,a date would have killed the piece!

Amazing photography

 
 By: rnaden : May 27th, 2022-04:07
I looked at the watch in the metal a few days ago at the boutique. Definitely a very compelling and attractive piece, especially the dial and the historic logo. I’ll have to say your photography makes it look even better than the boutique lighting offered...
