Omega

Team, Our dear Art "made me to do it". In fact I was "dating" this watch since it was released but I never was able to manage my watch funds to get it. My favorite buyers/seller took two pieces (that I never dare to show here - I don't want to banned!!) a...  

. . . you say ;-) . . .

. . . made him do it. :-)

. . . Flip Wilson? :-)

He should me made to get a "rusty". Cheers, Nilo

. . . look! Too late ;-) . . . ...  

It had 4mm more of case diameter ... I would kill to get it. Cheers, Nilo

. . . for an extra 3 mm? :-) Early '50s vintage ref 2505 . . . [ [credit: grumio] . . . and ref 2609. [credit: Bill Sohne] There was an auction of a ref 2505 earlier this year - gold capped, tatty case condition, but ok overall. It went for less than I've...  

Is a true gentleman's watch. If one of those pops up, for sure, there will be a bloodbath among my dear friends here that considers every single vintage Omega watches theirs, way before the price is disclosed by the seller. Cheers, Nilo

My few JLC are here to stay and I dont own any GP. I'm trying to focus my "stable", by limiting the brands to less than five (Omega, IWC, JLC, Panerai and Seiko). I keep a "working set" of few ones that a friend here call "cats", that are my "watch money"... 

I keep all JLC and you get a modern Omega (The Seamaster 300 Master was made for you). Deal? Cheers, Nilo

. . . for another Omega that's coming in the foreseeable future. Trust me on this. The Devil

Everyone needs a watch that keeps perfect time and is maintainable. Sturdy, reliable and without originality concerns. Cheers, Nilo

The common traps like lack of parts and the impossibility of 100% authenticity (no movement x case cross reference). Cheers, Nilo

When I serviced my CK 2913, I had the plexy changed, as well as the crown and movement parts ( NOS, no WatchCo). And now, it starts a new life! Best, Nicolas

About Omega being in theory more vintage friendly. But if you go with vintages before 1960's, when Omega authorized local casing, the plot thickens. Cheers, Nilo

I am considering the Speedmaster Alaska Project... Which is a big surprise, as I am not a Speedmaster guy.... But it can also be the Pilot Museum Piece from 1938 or its Chrono sibling. I have to see the new Seamaster in the flesh, before any final judgeme... 

If it shows up, I will grab it with my two trembling hands. Cheers, Nilo
