    Yes, the document you see in the post is an extract of the archives, direct from Omega.
    I know it came by way of Canada, because I bought the watch from a seller there. :)

    A day in London. Two newbies with their slightly younger brother (The ghost). Not one but two 105.002-62's:) Better pics on the weekend when I am home.

    Shot glass?

    Seriously, I'm guessing its one of those things that make your guitar sound wobbly.

    Come to think of it, that also works for a shot glass....

    The Conquest Power Reserve was released in 1959 and was made into 1967 if memory serves. Stainless examples aren't rare, but finding one in top condition is hard due to the dial being easily aged. Not sure about production numbers. Steel is at least 10 times more common than gold. Never saw one in 14K - only 18K, leading me to believe none of the solid gold models were cased in NY for the US market.

    Alex / Dablitzer's watch is either a later model (post 1961) or has a replacement crown. It looks like a 30L type crown, which makes me think it is a replacement for the scalloped original. Some of these Power Reserves, particularly later in the model's lifespan, didn't have medallions on the back.

    Nicely done Alex!

    Bought this today as a entry level Enicar piece (my first). Something about the case (turtle lugs) and dial captured my fancy!! Love really is blind ;)

    Congratulations! And had you expressed any reservations by posting beforehand, those of us on the forum would have gladly enabled and pushed you forward if called for. Clearly you need no such motivation. Absolutely AWESOME watch in every way.

    Nice Zenith! :thumbsup:

    Don´t see many of these about, is that the Ebay watch where the auction got cancelled half way through a month or two ago?
