Lovely piece

I am quite partial to gold capped three handed Omega manual winds from the 60's. In my collection I have a 1961 gold capped Seamaster with cal 265 powering it. This is a watch I would never sell and often find myself wearing. Great pick up!

I'm sure if your pics were in a catalogue it would have had a lot more interest...!! Cleaned up really well. Andy.

Bravo. Very elegant one! [nt]

The inclusion of unexceptional models in any Omega collection . . .

. . . is an occasion to be celebrated. I tend to collect obscure references, but there are a few common pieces that are enjoyed every bit as much as the rarer specimens. This early '40s R17.8 . . . . . . doesn't even have a reference number. Likely retail...  

Even though an antique, it runs . . .

. . . very well. Isn't it amazing how these vintages still perform when properly tended?

Lovely piece
