Omega

I will do a proper review of these watches in due course. The 2777-1 has already had a short review, but the 2914 Railmaster and 165014 Seamaster are newly arrived (though in the case of the 2914, purchased many months ago). I wont say that this completes...  

Even if you just opened a kind of Pandora's box.... Will you dig a bit more in the Seamaster Line? Will you go for a Speedmaster? Superb Seamaster, by the way. Just one question: Are you sure your hour hand is correct? Bravo, my friend. Nicolas

for a very late 165014 like this ( case produced in 1964 just before the swap to the new model 165024 with " banana " lugs). here for example there is an Omega advertising from 1965 introducing the new model still with straight hour hand. it's the same qu...  

a mighty W10 from 1967 ( completely checked " LIVE " for a friend around 2008 ....also on the Bienne Lake .. LOL ) small T .. sa va sans dir .... LOL LOL LOL ...  

killer.

with a movement number in the range of 24 mill. ( watch " produced " not before 1965 ) the f..ing hour hand is correct .

1) backs were produced ouside Omega .. so a back punched " 1964 " doesn't necessary means that the watch has been " assembled " ( = produced ) in the very same year ( something we have also in Rolex watches) 2) as with Rolex .... the swap between a model ... 

That makes sense! Best, Nicolas

Three fold congrats, my friend! :) Best Blomman

...the 165014 is just incredibly crisp. The hands, case, movement, dial...its just in stunning condition for a watch that is almost 50 years old. I put the date as 1965/66, though as Marcello points out, it has 1964 stamped on the inside case back. Of the... 

165024, 14755 and of course, 2913? Well, after you have the big birds from the Seventies, but that is another story! Best, Nicolas

.....2913-lollipop.......165024 civilian.....2998-1........ I have a good lead on one of these.....and a possible lead on a second......but it may well be that this waits for 2015........who knows. Of course, this all begs another question...... 1019, 341... 

. . . is a chronomètre à la Ω. Smoke signal coming your way via pm. :-)

. . . posh! No's Theory of Time . . . Ω = :-) . . . suggests otherwise ;-) . . .

not fixed to cases in a strict progressive way ... this certificate shows that a 165014 ( wth the same back ) was produced in the 2nd half of 1966 with a movement number in the 23.0 mill. range. so production time of your watch is 1966 or early 1967 and m...  

I will get the archives next

. . . this jingle . . . . . . out of my mind. One, two, and three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern. Three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern. And they decided, and they decided, and they decided to have another flagon. Landlord, fill the flowi... 

may I add one of my all time favourite song : " hitori de soko ni suwatteru atama no ikareta yatsu niji no ue kara shouben warera ga himo to yobu LSD no machi kara hanare gaki wo osore asa ga mada konai no wo saiwai na koto ni " " The crazy guy Sitting al... 

the watches all look awesome, I am looking forward to reading the full reviews. I hope you don't regret selling your 2998 lolipop with tropical dial, it would fit nicely in the picture ;-)

......but some mistakes can be rectified.

... a great comprehensive collection of Omegas. A great project for sure which you are carefully planning. The title of your thread remind me of other cute Tres Amigos... Los Tres Caballeros! I wish you will asemble a beautiful collection which you will e...  

......its nice to have collection variety...and Omega does offer a different feel...albeit a similar genre to Rolex

...after handling Jeff's earlier this week, I can now admire the beauty of the Railmaster!! Cheers Tony

.....yes, both quite different on the wrist. But both a great joy

As you know I love these kind of documents.... 1963 - Notice the double references on the Seamaster: ST 165014/14755 1964/1965 Best Blomman ...  

......but with Rolex, it was a specific military issue

So no military connection I guess. Maybe some of the Omega expert could help us? Best Blomman
