. . . I'm having breakfast right at this moment! Fresh blueberries from the family farm with maple syrup, dried pineapple, and coffee from Kauai. Here's a wrist shot of my friend's model . . . . . . which is identical save for the gold-tone hands and mark...  

Art, we can have breakfast at other time... LOL. gold-tone hands and markers in your friend's watch looks so much handsome than mine. i think it should be a very rare bird which i have not seen this so far except your friend's one. anyway, good to see mos...

..I am having a business breakfast (again..) in 9 min... Have a nice weekend Best regards Hans

Hello>It's a very nice watches and also How old is he? Good on ya Mate. cheers Suplex108

reading from the s/n on the movement, it shows 21xxxxxx which was made around 1964. stefan

if thats the case Stefan then IT BELONGS TO MEEEEE!!!! :)) best Graham

well i've already got one, but yours is nicer. what you do all depends on how much you want t keep it. best G

actually, it does not depend on how much i want to keep, but also how many watches i want to keep. this is a process of watch collection, somehow will sell some of them and then only keep those are real keeper. however, at the end of the day, i can bring ...  

i think that makes sense Stefan. here's a pic or 2 of mine. best G...  

hi Graham, interesting, actually both dials are quite different, the font styles of numeral arabic are especially different too! very interesting indeed, this Seamaster 600 model housed with Cal.601 has so many variants. it seems really hard to collect al... 

thats the wonders of vintage Omegas Stefan. too many variants to be sure you have the whole lot. i have a 560 seamaster de ville from 64 yet the other night i found 4 sm de villes all with different movements from the same year. you have to draw the line ... 

actually the most treasure thing i got from this process is not only these wonders of vintage, but also to establish friendships from over the worlds. the most wonder thing in fact is that all of us have not met with each other so far ) anyway, i just che...  

how right you are Stefan. the watches are merely vessels for the friendships that develop. best Graham

I am trying to choose between the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra with the 2500C movement, the one with white dial and gold hands and indexes (2503.34.00) and the one with the black dial and silver hands and indexes (2503.50.00), really sharp-looking, but I'm ... 

considered the 600 and 601 interchangeable, the only difference is the style of regulator. Contemporary watch appreciators probably expect to find inside exactly what is referenced on the outside. My very first Omega also has a 600, although it is in a "G...  

Hi Steve Very nice Geneve. I think your 600 is uncommon with its swan neck regulator. The only 600 class movement I have in my collection is the later Geneve 602 chronometer. At 33 mm and in 18k yellow gold its a classic dress watch... Good Hunting Bill S...  

Bill, if i remember correctly that or another one the same could have been heading in my direction last year, but you never came back to me with the essential numbers. a lovely and uncommon watch which, if from 64, is pretty essential to add to the pile. ... 

Geneve cal.602. stefan...  

now thats not fair Stefan. i want a 1964 602, but cant seem to find one :-( best G

no worry, Graham!!! after these years of collecting vintage watches, i realize that chances are always there. i found this rare bird - Geneve cal. 602 not with my intention at all. didn't know why that time, just had an instant thought in mind - why not t... 

Patience is important and something i dont have in great abundance sadly. 2009 was a very lucky year for me as pieces just seemed to fall into my lap. i'm expecting this year to be harder as my vintage choices are smaller. best Graham

bad means there are less and less choices as you said. but good means our taste is getting sharpen. isn't it? LOL. stefan

Steve, i love the display back. you dont happen to know who makes them do you as i'd really like to have one to show off a 601 or 286 calibre. too many modern pieces with auto movements have display backs when often the vintage handwinds look the best. i'... 

as mentioned this display back predates me , I do not know the source. I have several vintage watches purchased in Germany that were equipped by the seller with display backs for a relatively nominal amount (about US$120 each), although I don't know who a...  

Sorry Steve, but i must have missed the bit about them predating you. if you could pass the source i would appreciate it. all mine are screw backs, but it doesnt harm to ask. i have a source in Netherlands who does the early speedy display backs so might ... 

Great catch Stefan, very nice watch and condition Looking forward to "family picture" with lots of comments Best regards Hans
