1580
great c cased connie nilo
It is also nicely designed and still avery modern watch by its timeless and classic design. Accuracy with vintage omega calibers is phenomenal. I also have the Aqua Terra predecessor which dates back from 1969 seamaster ref 168022-168028 with cal 564
and a1968 seamaster ref 1663032-168023 (same watch than the one above but with 751)
The next Omega step for me is to get the 1968 seamaster's dial restored to what it was orginally and fully serviced, I also have two other Omega heirlooms that are at my watchmaker, so when I will have them back, I will post pics of them
Have a great week

Team, Let's see the Omega that you are wearing/have/desiring. Today with the Solar Impulse "classic", HB-SIA: Love the "airplane" GMT hand. This watch uses the movement Omega 3603 that some may say that has flaws but I never detected any issue. Let's see ...
wearing the same old thing that is very very accurate
the 1970 integrated bracelet connie with cal 751 (perhaps among the best movements ever made in 60's - 70's) ...
I agree with you ...
I have this Omega Constellation 168.029 (Caliber 751) and is just amazing accurate. Notice that this Connie is one of the few watches that I wear with a bracelet. Cheers, Nilo ...

Dear Nilo
If I could only own one Omega, it would be this De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition. Its dial his fantastic and 38.7mm is the perfect size in my opinion. Credit: Omega Best wishes Alkiro ...
Amazing watch.
I love when Maisons focalize all their attention on the tourbillon put in a prominent position. A stunning example is the MB&F HM7 Aquapod. Best.
I have never seen the HM7 in real but I could imagine its huge dimension. I agree with you that it has a very small wearability.
However at a level of design for me it is just stunning, I love the shape, the idea of putting the tourbillon in a extremely prominent position and the way in which the hour is showed. I think that the HM7 represents very well the philosophy of MB&F. Best...
A good compromise in my opinion... the VH Deep Space spotted recently 😉
Best wishes Alkiro ...
Yes definitely.
Tourbillon on prominent position but not so huge. Good choice!. Best.
Off course is a classic
But I appreciate it very much because is less common than Rolexes, worn by everyone nowadays. Best.
it is an Omega icon and a killer value for money and indeed far less common than the Subs, the Datejust or Daytona I see almost every day
And for the anedocte, the last time I was waiting for friends before entering and having in one of my favorite restaurants, I have seen a lot of bystanders sporting Subs, Datejusts and Sea Dwellers. Even the vintage Sea Dwellers are far more common than t...
You are right, nowadays Rolex in my humble opinion have lost part of fascination among true collectors because represents not only a watch brand but also a symbol of luxury often acquired by people (not always!) that does not care about watches and just
Want to show that they belong to a wealthy social level. If today I should buy a Rolex I would definitely go for vintage (despite all the risks), because vintage Rolexes are among the most iconish and beautiful watches one can find ( do not need to list e...
This is absolutely true and I can only agree with your post.
Also what I do appreciate with vintage OMEGAS is that they don't draw attention and that remain is that Omega vintage is relatively affordable compared to other brands. Since 2006 when Rolex went with wider cases, the brand has lost some of its finesse.I...
Yes, in my opinion Rolex will lost more and more buyers among collectors because as watches aficionados they know other brands, surely more interesting and do not want to pay absurd amounts of money (yes, for me Rolex's prices are becoming just crazy!!)
For something many many people have. They will probably spend their money or maybe even spend more on a less known brand. Personally I would feel angry if after buying a Rolex I would be put on the same level of somebody, who does not care about watches a...
Good point Amanico, however one must specify one thing that is important, only the wealthy collectors can buy vintage Rolex now
And since the price raise of the prices of Rolex vintage timepieces and the Rolex bubble since the 2000's, due to the Internet, because of the auction houses who are ready to maximize their profits even by selling watches in average condition at unresonab...
Vintage Rolex prices will raise more and more so if one wants a vintage Rolex he should in my opinion buy now because although prices are not low they are still human. In some years we will see those still affordable raising to absurd prices.
Another problem with vintage Rolexes is due to the large demand. Many times they have non-original parts so one have to be very focused and should have a big knowledge about what is going to buy. Best.
Yes also Patek should be aware that they are the only kings anymore. There are many other brand well designed and technically exceptional.
Among traditional watchmaking brands the most important Patek's opponent is for sure Lange, which in my opinion have surpassed Patek in terms of design and movements-detailing for this reason I think that the holy trinity should be re-discussed. Yes, as y...
Even though it's Wednesday, I hope it's not . . .
