Omega Museum Collection 1945 - It had to be mine ...
Team,
Years back a dear friend made a great catch in front of me. He was so excited that I held my deep desire to have it.
Time passes and one day, learning that I had a dinner on the shopping mall that also includes the Omega Boutique, he asked if I could drop the watch there because of a minor issue on the chronograph hand that was somehow bent.
I did this and since the watch was there on my own name, I teased him that the watch was in fact mine, that I had the Omega invoice as a proof.
Time passes and today he decided to let go the watch.
Could say no and now it's mine, for real.
Here is the beauty: The OMEGA Museum Collection 2003 - the first chronograph in the Museum Collection.
The watch uses the caliber 3200, manual winding
(F. Piguet), column wheel controlled.
In B&W (sorry for the iPhone pic, some day I will do better pictures and a quick review).
Happiness on a small piece of steel. wonderful.
Now, I need to hunt more pieces of this series (not the gold ones, of course).
Cheers,
Nilo

Now you have to hunt the sister, the 1938 Pilot watch from the Museum Series:
Excellent catch, Nilo. More than once, I thought about getting this one and its sister from 1938. What a dial, what a character! Love both of them! Best, and congratulations! Nicolas
Thank you....
I love the 1938, had one on my hands.... And passed it. It was in great shape, full set, but it was with the wrong crown. Little that I knew that a simple "pit stop" at the boutique could fix that beauty. Sometimes I do very bizarre actions. Now,let's wai...
Agreed....
There are so much info there that gives me the impression that one can time the end of the universe. Cheers Nilo
The more time i spend on the Omega forum....

Visit a Omega Boutique. Or If you're a "rusty lover", the sky is not the limit. Amazes me how large is the number of models that Omega ever made. Cheers, Nilo
It WAS mine for few hours...
This afternoon, with this Omega strapped on my wrist, seeing my soccer team being robbed by a so so referees... My wife took a look and stated: "I serious believe that this watch will be great on my wrist". Since I always have the final words, my reply wa...

And there is a strong perspective that she will come, some day, with another "trade" proposition. The only true keeper on her small collection is a Longines Lindbergh (the last true "in house" movement by Longines) that she, somehow, associates not with t...

On the one hand, an Omega Museum Collection piece . . .
. . . and, on the other, a piece that belongs in Omega's Museum. Delectable, achim, and thanks for sharing! Cordially, Art
Wonderful piece ...
I admire those true vintage ones but they don't enter on my watch box because they are so unique that I don't dare to wear it. Since I only have wearable pieces I cannot own one of those. Years back a dear friend acquired this one: Wonderful, complete. It...
Congrats on your new catch Nilo! The dial is awesome and keeps...
... with the tradition of those lovely vintage dials of many years ago. Love this chrono!! Enjoy it in good health my friend!! Best cordial regards, Abel.
