A nice looking watch with history, that's the big charm and interest of these vintage watches. Credit picture: Bulang And Son: Another one I missed, but it was not the right time for me, alas. Best, Nicolas ...  

A lovely example. Prices are creeping up for this one. 5 years ago you could find one for very good money. I wonder now more than ever if the future is in vintage?

I paid 3000 Euros for mine in 2006. And it was a pristine specimen! Alas stolen...

Oh no. That is tragic. We’re you mugged?

 
 By: nasseriq : January 10th, 2021-04:06

No. Burglarized, in 2011...

Sorry to hear that.

 
 By: nasseriq : January 10th, 2021-04:13

Well, it's been 10 years ago. The following weeks were not easy. But life goes on.

Was your from the Canadians Airforces?

No.

Will Omega reissue this one soon?

 
 By: Reuven Malter : January 10th, 2021-04:38

THAT would be a great idea!

 
 By: amanico : January 10th, 2021-05:12

They hat it in their regular lineup in the early 2000s, but since the book "a man and his watch", where the story of this piece is told, this piece gets a lot appreciation again.

 
 By: Reuven Malter : January 10th, 2021-05:27

Yes, and this interest has some impact on the prices, alas.

 
 By: amanico : January 10th, 2021-11:04

Very cool piece of history with this one 👌

Oh yes, Justin, and such a good looking one!

somehow it is more perfect than submariner IMHO

 
 By: Gelato Monster : January 10th, 2021-16:39

Somehow I agree with you. I always preferred the Seamaster 300 straight and lyre lugs.

 
 By: amanico : January 10th, 2021-22:59

200% agree

 
 By: hans_jorgen_1968 : January 19th, 2021-10:03

Agreed, too.

The most arresting Omega dial design after the Speedmaster . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 10th, 2021-17:29
. . . and maybe the Flightmaster. Unfortunately the opportunity to get one at reasonable cost has long gone by . . . prices started appreciating about six years ago and haven't let up since. I found one locally (in worse condition, I might add) seven year... 

Yes, my friend. The train has gone, now...

ca 2007.....

Those were the days, my friend.... Cheers from Zurich Richard ...  

Killers, Richard!!! Wow!

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2021-10:00

Mine from 1964... had this one since 2007

 
 By: hans_jorgen_1968 : January 19th, 2021-10:01
...  

Hmmm, what a character, my lucky friend.

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2021-10:02

The predecessor with its competitor

 
 By: 198042 : January 20th, 2021-10:02
So similar and still so different... Cheers from Zurich Richard ...  

Agreed. You still miss this one!

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2021-11:52
Which share the same case than the CK 2913 ( Huguenin Frères ). ...  

You're right Nicholas! ...

 
 By: 198042 : January 22nd, 2021-23:29
that was never on my radar, don't know why I missed it. I will need your guidance in getting one though. Whenever / if ever we are back to normal and face to face meetings will be possible again... Cheers from Zurich Richard

When, not if. ;)
