Nice piece, thanks for sharing
Gosh, i've been wanted this for sometime, but not yet lucky to own the steel one. I've got the gold capped one btw. A friend just offered me the steel one lately, but the one that put me off to grab it is the bezel is wrong. Any idea if the bezel is replaceable?
Enjoy...
Regards,
Sherwin
It is SHOWTIME again - post # 900
Hi Fellas, It is showtime again - you know post # 900 must be celebrated as usual... Summer and vacation is leisure time and a "lazy" time for me... so not a long and sophisticated thread... I want to show you my "brother and sister" which suit very well ...

Hi Sherwin,
the bezel should be replaceable but I do not know where to find one. Good luck erich
Lovely Erich - what are the case refs?
I'm guessing a cal 751 and a cal 564. I have seen a cal 751 SM chronometer for sale recently and was tempted - only trouble was that the case was inscribed - not too sure about that Thanks for sharing Cheers Andrew
You are correct about...
Hi Andrew, you are correct about the calibers , it is 564 and 751... You mentioned an inscription... should be possible to remove it but will cause some extra costs of course... regards erich
Nice pair Erich
They look fantastic! Your posts are always interesting and compelling and that's one of the main reasons why I love this forum so much. Thanks for showing us the pics. Phil
I knew that you...
Hi Phil, I knew that you would like these SMs... wink, wink... Thank you for your kind words! best regards erich
Nice pair
Nice pair. I have the GC version too. Always on the look out for the stainless chronometer , but I have a few of the non chrono 166.032 as well...
Ok, I'll play
Nice pair Erich - already looking forward to post 1000 which no doubt will be extra special. Here is a gold cap pair to match your stainless pair. As some of you may know, this is one of my absolute favorite designs among vintage omegas....
Congratulations on your 900th
Really a nice pair. I really like the day-date variant Best Hans
The day only version is...
Hi Hans, The day only version is more balanced IMO, but thats only my personal taste... regards Erich
Different also because of the date and the daydate!
I love a lot the Date version, versus the day date... Great classic, indeed. Thanks for sharing this Duo of SM, Erich. See you for your 1 000th post? Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-08-09 00:05:33
You are right, the...
Hi Nicolas, you are right, the date only looks more "balanced" because of the smaller date aperture... on the other hand the day-date is not so common and rarer to find. kind regards erich
Have made some observations regarding this model
In 18k YG, both day date and date are equally scarce. In stainless steel, the day date is easier to find than the date. In YG cap, the date looks to be a bit more plentiful than the day date. Again, these are my observations over the past 4 years or so an...
These are very interesting...
Hi Mike, These are very interesting observations indeed - thanks a lot for sharing! Do you have any observations about rose gold capped and solid rose gold? I assume they are great rarities... kind regards Erich
Never seen solid rose gold for either date or day date
Have seen rose gold capped only for the date - I own two of them and had purchased another two but returned them since the condition was not to my liking after I inspected them. That being said, the rose gold cap date versions are still uncommon - I see a...
