. . . excellent watchmakers. And you've hit on a critical point: collecting vintage is impossible without the services of a talented watchmaker. Those guys make it possible.
. . . but here it is for your viewing pleasure, in no particular order. ['60 ref 2943 / cal 504] ['46 ref 2365 / cal 30T2SCrg] ['44 ref 2242 / 18 jewel 30T2SC] ['53 ref 2667 / cal 420] ['56 ref 2846 / cal 500] ['48 ref 2499 Centenary / cal 28.10 JUB] ['43...
. . . such an improbable background story it has to be the one that would be saved from a sinking ship. Otherwise, they're all keepers. Even the Seamaster chronometer that was listed for a year on CM is back in my good graces now that it's got an even ear...
. . . the first to enter my collection is gone, as are several others sold or gifted away, but for every departure there are six arrivals. Accumulatively, Art
. . . except the Arabic 2242. Assumed it was an original dial when I bought it, but now believe it's likely a re-dial. Rare eighteen jewel movement that runs well keeps it in the collection. ...
. . . always a possibility. Had my eye on one last year, and would find it difficult to resist a current version of Black Connie, with rose gold furniture over a black Florentine dial. Art
. . . a cal 30T 1 . And I still want a ref 2410 chronometer and manual winding Rail, vintage or modern production should Omega see fit to make one again. As our first Omega forum moderator, Bill Sohne, would say: "Good hunting". ;-)
Lovely, lovely Omega collection. Many of them with a great story behind them. I geel humbled to share one piece with you: The 1894. Not the Japan model like yours, that I would also love to know, additionally! ...
Which led me to think.. iโm not sure they can plop that in on a 38mm RM which then made me think.. that RM60 wonโt be getting updated anytime soon. Not unless thereโs an existing manual caliber that fits a 38? The movement on those Tresors are quite nice....
A very nice bunch of vintage old relics! Perfect for a vintage old relic such as yourself! HA! A couple of them I had forgotten you had. Keep up the good work. Kev
I can well understand this collection can only be assembled through many years of research and hunting with much passion and patience. Thank you so much for sharing with us! Keep enjoying and loving this great collection so much my dear friend. Best, Abel...
I love that โ94 cal 269.. note that i just copied the name to make it sound like i know vintage omega. I also like the rectangular one.. the pie pan โ58.. i mean, all of โem
. . . the 2518 to match up with the 2989. The two 2852 Connies, Black and White, match up, as do the black Seamasters, 2846 and 14701. Obviously, one can go overboard with this fetish, too, like accumulating four 2364s. But yes, Ed was acquired partly to ...
My fav would be the ['94 1894 Homage / cal 269] and the ['58 ref 2852 / cal 505]. I would not know where to go if any of these stopped working. Do you service these yourself or do you "know a guy"...?
