Sure they will mate
They will inherit not just your watches, but your values. Omegas left by my grandad is also one of the prime reasons me into horology. Thks fr sharing, sometimes, in this forum, we have really "out of this world" watches, both in complications and price, but its threads like this that bring us back to the fundamentals of our hobby, and bring a warm fuzzy feeling to it, not the the glamour and events. Cheers, have a great weekend
The Vintage Omega Constallation - Gerald Genta Link and Cal 751
I posted a thread some 9-10 months back about a vintage Omega Constellation Day/Date Chronometer that my father left to me. Although not the most sought after and most expensive watch in the world, you can imagine that this particular watch is one of the ...
Great stuff
Hi WMcLarenF1, thank you so much for a great and true story about a watch with a lot of soul and history, especially for you. I have the same feeling on my Dynamic I inherited from my father. Intersting reading from Mr Desmond Guilfoyle as well Best regar...
HI Hans, I actually wore it today as I got
the replies and articles from Desmond. It's not the most expensive watch and my father was not a rich man but there is so much more to life than money and what it can buy... much more value in what money cannot buy. Enjoy your piece and i hope it brings y...
Personal watches
Hi Arthur You are 112% right. There are more to life than money and material stuff. There is much more value in life than what money can buy. Some things we appreciate due to where it is coming from, and other maybe due the fact that we are able to purcha...
touching story behind...
hi Arthur, did not know there was a touching story behind your Omega cal.751. when my day passed away, i asked him not to pass me anything including his Longines quartz watch because he had spent part of his savings for my overseas study during his earlie...
Cool Stefan.
We should wear them when I meet with you to discuss about Vancouver. Will call you soon.
very nice Connies. one of the last of the really good Omegas
they date from about 67-70ish and are really nice pieces. i had one in 18kt with an 18kt bracelet. too blingy for me so i let it go. in retrospect i should have kept the watch and let the bracelet go as they look really good on brown or black leather. the...
Hi Graham
I have a brown matt like strap on my connie now. Omega gave me a black sheen sheep thin sheep skin strap but I didn;t quite like that. will post a pic for you soon.

I'd have thought a milk monitor.......
.....could have decided that link was 80 times more educational than self-promoting. Perhaps this is the wrong bus stop.
hmmm....
Hi Catherine... We have a code of conduct on the forums and they are enforced the same way across all of the forums. To ask for any moderator to determine on a link by link basis is a monumental task. On your comment about a "milk monitor" is in poor form...
My apologies Mr. Sohne....
....sometimes you visit so many sites you can get confused and forget your not on a free flowing one...you know the ones i'm sure...the ones where info of that ilk are left to run because watch info is the biggest draw. Catherine.

COOL idea, Arthur...
cool idea indeed, feel free to call me out (you know my number right?), i will be wearing my 751 by then, but hard question is that i have two 751, one is SS and another is gold, which one would you like to wear? LOL... stefan
Great watch ....
Hi Very nice story and you did some excelent searching on the net to find Desmond's articles. I actually have a few 751 powered Omegas.. Most are Seamasters but I did get just one Connie... The one in my collection is somewhat like Graham mention in one o...
Bill, have a question???
Hi Bill, thanks for posting very nice 18k 751 Connie. i read there is small letters something like this "OM SWISS MADE OM" at the 6 o'clock position which differs with what i have on my Connies. may i know what the "OM" stands for? thanks so much in advan...
It stands for O'r Massif
which from what I can recall means you case is solid 18K gold. Mine micron plated hence the lack of OM.
sorry, it refers to the dials
I ahev to try to find the links again. It explaisn clarly what OM stands for and means.
OM stands for
Om stands for "or massif" and this means "solid gold" and describes the material of the dial, not the case! best Erich
day/date function
I just came by one of these. How do I advance the day and date separately? Thanks.
Wonderful sentiment there Arthur
Thanks for sharing the story behind such a great watch. I also have a gold capped (plated) vintage Omega left to me when my Dad died. It is a 1966 Seamaster 30 that my Mum gave him for their wedding. Similarly to yourself, my parents were not wealthy peop...
Very nice Zac
And thanks for chiming in... the old omega has its charm definitely... I'm actually tiring of some of my new acquisitions but the old constellation and oyster handed down... not fancy by any measure but I just like knowing I have them and how I got them.....
