lovely Gator and just what i'm looking for to add to my 64 collection
the problem is that i cant afford one at the moment 
at least i know where there's a nice one when i have the money 
it looks like a lovely piece and a crown is not the highest of priorities

Ok 2010 is over.... so what was your favorite purchase of last year ?
Hello everyone... Ok 2010 is over. Lets all take a look back over the last year and I would love to see your favorite purchase..... Looking forward to it... Good Hunting Bill Sohne This message has been edited by Bill Sohne on 2011-01-09 15:40:54
Without hesitation
But if we speak about watches, then it is perhaps this And the best value for the money I got with Best, Kari...
Saved the best for last...
...Always wanted a classic Omega Constellation with the bent lugs pie-pan dial. Either the 14900 or the 167.005 would do. I've been able to get the front-loading 168.025 and the Japanese market re-make with the 1011 movement. I honestly had written-off ev...
It was a good decision...
Hi Gator, it was a good decision to buy it despite the small issues which can be "mended" easily... crowns are available on the XXXX all the time. The condition of the case is stunning - all the crisp edges, never polished as it seems! good purchase - con...
I love a lot the profile shot, with these spectacular angular lugs.
If I had to get one, it will be with these lugs and a black dial, if it ever existed... Will end with one, I feel it. Best, Gatorcpa. Nicolas.

I do not recall...
Hi Bill, hi all, I do not recall which watches I bought last year (for sure) as there were too many... But concerning Omega this was one of my most important purchases last year: kind regards Erich...
That's is a killer piece, Erich
I absolutely love the half fold lugs. What movement does it come with? Best Tyler
The caliber is...
The caliber is 471, one of the first full rotor automatics... What makes this watch stand out of the crowd is not the movement but the rare dial (there is a "guess" of about 100 examples only...) kind regards erich
I bought some lovely watches in 2010 but...........
I suppose if I had to single out one then it woud have to be this one - my 1965/66 English cased 18ct Connie But there again, I could say my 1945 WWW or my 1949 Seamaster Bumper or.......................................
my best buy of 2010 was my Enicar Sherpa super compressor
but my best Omega purchase for 2010 was without doubt my 560 calibre Swiss cased Seamaster deville. both were from 1964 so fit well into my collection. Graham...
One for me, one for him
Hi Bill, this refers to the two Omegas I bought last year and among them one for my son. His watch: Mine: These vintage Omegas are a class of their own! Kind regards, anaesdoc...
Does my only purchase count...??
But to be fair it is a good one... Have a great week, Andy....
Couldn't resist..

Not the grandest purchase, nor the most valuable . . .
. . . but this humble little Omega . . . . . . is my favorite of 2010....
I love...
Hi Art, I love this nice sober piece! beautiful proportions too... kind regards erich
It's the shaped movement . . .

best of 2010
Well sticking just with the Omegas, some favorites of 2010: Constellation 2852, 505 Constellation 168.005, 561 Rose-Capped Constellation 14381 551 Rose-Capped Seamaster 2627, 355 Seamaster Chronometer 166.023 751 Gold-Capped Of course there are always the...
Two favorites - the first and the last purchase of the year
While I have been fortunate enough to get a number of vintage omegas in 2010 these two stand out in my mind - I like them very much and they are very difficult to find for sale. The first purchase is this uncommon piece - and rare in this condition cal. 7...
Okay, so that now we're showing ALL our Omegas...

Re: Omega GMT
Hi mrsnak, isn´t this watch an aesthetical and geometrical beauty without the second crown? (Sorry, could not refrain from teasing when coming across this pic of yours ) Cordially, anaesdoc
Sorry for the late post.
My favorite is this vintage YG Connie that I discover while browsing previous connie roll call. I am so please with this. A value buy too I also got another steel model as a restoration project. Nothing has been done so far. Right now I'm researching what...
What I can see from the picture...
Hi Tyler, What I can see from the picture looks quite OK... hands seem to be original - crown commands a 10 sided replacement crown! Dial is not correctly redone - the font is not correct - for original pieces google the posts of Desmond - he has written ...
My favorite purchase from 2010
Hi everyone... Wow just some great watches !! Well here is my favorite purchase... a first run 30 mm Omega. Omega in early 1939 introduced the 30 mm movement. Omega did a limited first production run of 600 units between Feb and April of 1939. The watch y...
a real "darling" Bill,
fantastic patina and condition! Here are two more of the 1st series (ref. ck2097) with ## 8'965'xxx This is the oldest 30 movement I know off - # 8'965'271 in the museum:...
i forgot about this uncommon and unusual Tissot T12 i picked up last year
with regard to it being 'rarely seen' and its condition i think it must rank as one of my favourite pick ups of 2010, but i put it in a case with some others i dont wear very often so it slipped from my mind. i remembered it today due to the world timer p...
thanks Stefan, the whole...
thanks Stefan, the whole shape of these 70's T12's are great. they do what is essentially an 861 calibre model which i used to own. it makes a great alternative to a speedmaster, but not a cheap one. best G
