I have two Omegas to share
Omega 1950's era bumper-wind automatic movement, he passed away in 1974 and my grandmother gave me the wristwatch and his pocket watch (dates to the Thirties).
I guess that's over 46 years. It was serviced about 20 years ago and runs fine.
A few years ago I found this picture, and looking closely can see he is wearing the watch as he's greeting people at a party (on a Spiedel Twist-O-Flex band).
The date here looks like 67 but I could be wrong.

On the other side of our family I have an uncle who is now wearing his father's (my grandfather) watch.
I have serviced it for him, and I'm next in line to get it.

Hanging out with old friends, 25 years plus ownership thread 🧵
I bought my OP 1005 going on 28 years ago when it was already 23 years young. Please share your quarter century ownership pieces, any brand, thanks 🙏 ...
Nice, can't ask for much, if any more than that,
plain, simple and beautiful. Wear it in good health.
Thanks Thomas 👍 Also reliable, went until 2013 or so before mechanical service...
all parts perfect except installed nos crown and stem 🙂
This one has been in the family for 70 years
and on my wrist for very close to 25 years. I hope it qualifies! It does not get as much action as your Rolex but it is always a pleasure to wear it ...
Wow 😳 that’s what I was hoping to see 🙂
Fantastic JLC and tremendous family history at 70 years 👍 Pretty sure JLC will also be able to keep it going 70 more with original parts, not the case with all brands from my understanding-Rolex included. Thanks 🙏 for sharing and it looks great on you 👍 ...

Very cool 😎 pieces and great post, thank you 👍
To have photos like that makes them all the more special. The dial on the first one is quite interesting 🤔 honeycomb like or tiny guilloché I can’t really tell.
Merci mon ami 👍 I almost lost this guy...
I took it off and placed it on my exam desk at the University of Toronto to watch the time easily. Of course after three hours I walked out without it 😳 After midnight I realized what I had done 😢 I went back and banged on the door until a caretaker came ...
