Omega

Thanks Bill and a query or three >>

 

Thanks Bill for the premiere of your research here on our tiny forum.

I don't think that it will raise the price that I declare an interest in the Omegamania auction piece smile

I noticed that the number of pieces produced:
1911=12.
1912=360.
1919=66 (21/24''') + 300 (21'''1/2)

Was that a reflection of the increased demand for the 1914-18 Great War?
I thought Omega did not supply the Huns in war time, so was that increase for supply to the other side?

Regards,
MTF

Hi MTF Nothing to be chicken about!! The prices that were obtained today are an eye opener. AQ wanted my jump seconds 8 day clock ( with original wooden shipping Box Omega marked) but told me to expect 1,500 dollars. It was not worth my time to meet them.... 

Thanks for posting your article over here Bill.
