It is SHOWTIME :-) post# 800 ....
Hi all, I know you know... but for those who are new here and don´t know... every 100th post I share one of my collectible Omegas... Here we go It is a lovely hand wound center second with a very well preserved dial. It looks all original except the windi...
A lovely piece
I really do think those 30mm manuals take a lot of beating - it is difficult to improve on such simplicity of design Thanks for sharing
It was the...
Yes, It was the design of the dial which made me fall in love with this piece! regards erich
Beautiful watch, Mac!
Congrats on the 800! Looking forward to number 900… Best Blomman
I did this post...
Hi Blomman, I nearly missed this #800 post - so I did not have much time to prepare a special thread... I did this post in a kinda hurry - but I will prepare a special one for # 1000 which is not too far away... I am glad you like the watch! best erich
Nice piece as always Erich!
While I collect vintage omegas, I do not consider the 30T2 realm a specialization of mine. I did get one about 2 weeks ago that made me think, maybe Erich would approve of the watch... It is a nice size too at 37.5mm...
A "red star" of this size...
Hi Mike, A "red star" 30mm of this size is extraordinary indeed - and so well preserved! It is well worth collecting these 30mm beauties... enjoy! erich
Have a period ad for the "red star"...
... This was called the "Teddington" model when marketed in 1940's Brazil: While named after the British observatory, my meager understanding of Portugese tells me that this movement was of the type used in the Teddington competitions. Whether this means ...
I think it is meant...
Hi Gator, thank you for your kind words. Concerning the movement in the "star" watches: I think it is meant that there were movements of the 30mm type inside the watches - same style and design as the movements in the competition... In the competition the...
I think the star was a marketing tool
essentially saying you are getting the same type of watch with the same level of expertise behind it like those omega chronometres that won in competition. I just think having a star on the dial in a large case was pretty cool - I probably would have gott...
Mike, you have...
Hi Mike, you have expressed my thoughts in much better words than I have been able to do with my poor (non native speaker) English... Yes, of course it was a marketing tool! Do you happen to know exactly when they started with the campaign? kind regards E...
a 30T2 dial with a star
Hi Erich. Sometime, a beautiful dial means everything. This one has a gold star on it and in such a perfect condition. Unfortunately, it doesn't belong to me....
It`s a nice one, Erich.
It s a very nice one for your 800`s . Erich.¸ OOO Hi Mike, I also love your 30T2 and that red star really means something. I will dig into my stuff to find the one with a red star. I am an easy collector, that`s why even this one still has a place in my c...
Cal. 30 SC T1 is
Hi Hoi, Cal. 30 SC T1 is the rarest among the 30mm family - but I am sure you know already! If I recall correctly there have been built only 2400 pieces in total! So they are very limited due to this fact... I have 4 in my collection - so counting your...
30mm
Erich, thanks so much for sharing pictures with us. I absolutely love the dial. Cal. 30mm Omega's are amongst my all-time favorites. Phil
It was the dial...
Hi Phil, you are right - it was the dial why I could not resist! HAGWE erich
¡Ay, caramba! . . .
. . . vintage Omega chronometers are like beer and pizza - you can never have enough!
It need not...
Hi Art, you are right about Omega chronometers! But this particular watch is no chronometer... it is just a simple 30 SC T2, but I like it very much due to it´s breathtaking dial... hagwe erich
Another lovely piece mac_omega..

Hi Erich It looks fantastic... so when are you coming to NYC, not to change the subject... Good Hunting Bill
Thanks for the show Erich.
Great find. Congratulations on your 800th .... looks like your 900th will be in the next week or so maybe? Regards, Richard.
I think it will...
Hi Richard, thank you for your kind comments. I think #900 will not be in the next weeks as here is starting warm lazy summer time... And I have to do some recreation after a hard time I had to face in the last weeks! regards Erich
As always...

Hi Ben, thanks for the kind comment. An old thread has been "unearthed" recently - I had this watch posted long ago... The thread was continued now... Glad you like the watch - and glad to "see" you here after a long time - hope everything is OK at your e...

Hi Mike, this thread was already launched on May 27th 2011 ... and was continued dez 15th this year - funny eh? I had forgotten about this piece of my collection when we discussed your watch with the longer minute hand than the second hand - remember? kin...
Funny
I remember our discussion but forgot about your watch until this thread was revived and I noticed this watch had the same peculiarity. Here is a picture of my watch with that same unusual feature: ...
