interesting selection for the same price Mike
i love the last 3 with the piepan and 751 being my top 2, but i'm trying to think in my own mind what i'd pay for them. those 2 were a lucky find compared to the other 3 IMO unless the first 3 were overpriced. difficult to work that one out 
i'm not a huge pocketwatch fan, but the movement is superb. chronometer grade with great regulater. i bet that can be adjusted to run perfectly with a bit of time and effort.
great selection Mike.

Vintage Omega Diversity - 5 Watches from my collection that cost me about the same amount
I am presenting here 5 vintage omegas - all very different but all of them cost me about the same amount. I won't disclose the amount of course - I will leave it for you to imagine and decide what I over/underpaid for. Wanted to add also that these were a...
As always...
Hi Mike, beautiful choice - as always in pristine condition! I like the Conny too . does it have white gold hour markers? I also own one but with a slightly aged dial, case and movement are beautifully preserved though... It is also a keeper for me! kind ...
Yes Erich
The connie has white gold arrowhead hour markers - as you know, difficult to find with "true" piepan configuration and in nice condition.
I can understand your appreciation for these 5 Omegas.
From these 5, I would pick the Connie, with its particular dial, and, if I got it well, with its special case, crown and lugs. And its Chronometric virtues are also something important, for me. But it would be impossible to stay unsensible to the charm of...
All are beautiful.
Hi Mike. It's a wonderful show and I like the 1,3,4 a bit more than the 2 and 5. (if they cost you the same amount then you must have overpaid the 2, right?) Is there a 551 inside the 3 , am I right ? Hoi
Hi Hoi
The connie has a cal. 505 in it- this dial configuration was present towards the end of the cal. 505 run. "Overpaid" is relative - I would say I paid a fair price for #2 - it's a watch that is unique in its own right and quite large - it is ~35-36mm in si...
I have to agree with you regarding...
...the uniqueness of Omega's designs of the mid to late 1930's. My watchmaker offered me a watch very similar to yours late last year. I almost pulled the trigger on it, but decided not to buy it. Instead, I got this one as representative of the era: The ...
vintage omegas are some of the best watches ever made
I can understand easily your appreciation for vintage Omegas because they were fitted with some of the very best movements ever made and some of the best designs created.
indeed, very broad selection...
...first, congrats on your very broad catch within 12 months. second, wonder whether you would share with us why you chose such broad selection... there must be something special in these watches that caught your eye? stefan
These watches are part of a larger collection
I picked these 5 because they were all available to me at a certain pricepoint proving not only that the selection of vintage omegas is very diverse but also that certain attractive pieces like those pictured here are still relatively affordable.

that pocket watch should be able to do +/- 30 sec a month !
Hi G The pocket watch should be able to dialed down to something like plus or minus 30 seconds a month as that was the spec for the "D" quality Railroads at that time from Omega. Mike stunning stuff , next time we meet I will bring my steel 505 and I thin...
Excellent post . . .
. . . that underlines the value of vintage Omega. Thanks, MSNWatch. Btw, #4 is my favorite ;-) . . .
