I finally could see the Omega CK 859 in real!

For the moment I will just post a photo. Some others ill soon come, with some thoughts about that one, but to make it short, I was afraid this watch was a bit too thick for my taste... Which is not... The case. Lucky those who own it! Best, Nicolas ...

Why Nico. How thick is it? 😊

...

Yes. It is not thick. Thanks for the info. Buddy. 👍😊

By: geross : October 3rd, 2022-10:42

No problem, my friend!

By: Mach : October 3rd, 2022-10:45

Hence the explanation... ;)

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-12:12

On the photos I've seen, it looked thick. In real, not that much.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-12:12

Splendid photo as always and a fantastic timepiece.

I agree the sapphire is not for everyone, but then again due to the double-sided anti-reflection it kind of vanishes in most angles. Love the pun by the way!

;) Thanks, mon ami.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-12:13

I agree too.

By: Pun : October 3rd, 2022-15:34

I quite like the domed sapphire, I was more dubitative about the case...

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-15:36

Yet its not thick by most standards. You've to wear it to feel it's classic appeal.

By: Pun : October 3rd, 2022-15:40

Regards

Agreed.

Before me

By: Weems@8 : October 3rd, 2022-11:11

I only see the pictures. Your picture is good. I have listed the CK859 as wanna have. PO 232.92.44.22.03.001 also.

Nice list.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-12:13

Beautiful picture!

By: jlux : October 3rd, 2022-12:16

I was also initially misled by the thickness specification but then noticed that much of this is due to the dramatically domed sapphire. On the wrist it definitely transmits a "vintage vibe".

Aaah, good to know that I was not the only one. Merci, mon ami.

Looking forward to your narrative, Nicolas. I may try to stop in at an Omega Boutique tomorrow to see if they have one.

By: orahu : October 3rd, 2022-15:02

I can only say it is a very tempting one, mon ami.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-15:07

A great watch for sure! This community can’t be wrong after all. I wonder how it winds :-)

By: Echi : October 3rd, 2022-16:08

True, true.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-19:58

Cant wait to see more pictures! So are you getting one?

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 3rd, 2022-17:45

I would love to, but I am currently fighting with many expenses...

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-19:58

I know the feeling! Your resilience is impressive given all the opportunities that passes...Cheers!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 3rd, 2022-19:59

Alas not horological expenses. Less, much less funny ones.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-20:04

Oh! Really sorry to hear that! Good luck on resolving this my friend!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 3rd, 2022-20:25

Can't wait to read your review! Excellent first photo!! Best, E.

By: eklektik : October 3rd, 2022-21:04

Thanks for the encouragement, mon ami.

By: amanico : October 3rd, 2022-21:07

I'm holding off, too, Nicolas. Bananas about the movement, but . . .

By: Dr No : October 6th, 2022-20:16

. . . prepared to wait for a more compelling homage. Like RAF '53, for example. Or ref 2179. Even better, a Ranchero. Art

Or... A Railmaster!

By: amanico : October 6th, 2022-20:44

Aha! . . .

By: Dr No : October 6th, 2022-20:47

. . . I was waiting for you to commit to a Rail!

You knew it had to come. ;)

By: amanico : October 6th, 2022-21:46

If it’s a white dial Ranchero, I’m dead. Hahaha!

By: Echi : October 7th, 2022-00:47

We will both sleep under a bridge . . .

By: Dr No : October 7th, 2022-03:21

. . . with white Rancheros on our wrists. 😴

;-)

By: Echi : October 7th, 2022-03:59

+++1. Count me in!

By: amanico : October 7th, 2022-06:13

Yeeeees! I will be too, with pleasure, in great company.

By: amanico : October 7th, 2022-06:13

We will be three hoboes . . .

By: Dr No : October 7th, 2022-08:13

. . . all sleeping under the same bridge . . . . . . with Rancheros on our wrists and smiles on our faces. 😇 ...

Total Class!

By: amanico : October 7th, 2022-08:43

Hehe wouldn’t that be something 🙂

By: Echi : October 7th, 2022-10:56

I'll bring the beers. ;)

By: amanico : October 7th, 2022-14:00

Classy cool watch!

By: gregcarraram3 : October 7th, 2022-19:54

Yes, really.
