Do you have any watch that you can't even feel on your wrist?
I was wearing this Omega this morning in my bathrobe, and later with a sweater with long, loose sleeves. As I was about to walk out the door I mentally "felt" both wrists, and thought "Hold on, I better get a watch" and went back to my bedroom for a watch...
I like these smaller vintage pieces. That dial looks amazing!
I have a few that are probably about the same size and weight as yours, here's a couple, though not Omega... ...
Yes, there is virtue to a vintage piece, isn't there?
Here's my most-similar watch - a gold Wittnauer ...
Know the feeling well, Mike . . .
. . . there's a few vintage Omegas in my collection light as the proverbial feather. [ ca '53 ref 2667 / cal 420] Best, Art ...
Thanks Art, I know we both like this one a lot
I hope you are wearing all those vintage pieces (now and then, when not playing pool) Cheers, Mike
Vintage Omegas? Almost every day! . . .
. . . a Centenary's been on my wrist since Saturday . . . [ ca '48 ref 2499 / cal 28.10 JUB] . . . and there's been at least half a dozen hours of pool racked up in the meantime ;-) . . . ...
These are all such lovely watches, a word I don't use often
Thanks for posting. Not sure which is my favorite -- they're all nice and it's hard to pick among them. Take note watch manufacturers -- a watch can be beautiful, subtle, refined, and elegant without screaming affluence or bling.
What a wonderful dial dear Mike!! Awesome! I love it!! Agree: some vintage pieces are so light we forget they are strapped on the wrist...
... and this Omega you show is adorable!! I own a Jumbo vintage Omega and a Longines Calatrava style (both with steel cases of 37 mm diameter) which are also so light and comfortable! Cheers! Abel ...
This Croton is another vintage
I found this watch - the previous owner had stripped off the chrome plating on the front, and I liked the look so I took it home, gave it a service, put on a new strap, and it works fine. Pressing in the crown advances the date. Cazalea ...
This one badly needs a service..
I recently wound it back to life just to see if it was still ticking. It did move ...
You knew . . .
. . . I'd go ga-ga! Ref 14350, mid '50s cal 354? Engraved crosshair dial is icing on the cake ;-) . . .
Thanks for the added info, Art..
Now I can google some more about this piece. Yeah, i was kinda hoping you'd chime in on this reply
Worn without knowing . . .
This U-N a pleasure of understatement and lightness. Remarkably unremarkable! Clive ...
