    Farid, you are a master of building the suspense for the dial shot!:thumbsup:

    Personally, I'd like to see better shots of that dial before making any comment.

    And is it just me or is that bezel missing?

    It is lacking focus, isn't it? :)

    This time it's you. Watch was aggressively polished at one time though.

    Very minor issue, as you just don't see full box, buckle and papers packages with these outside the Omega Museum.

    Nice purchase!

    Very interesting to note that Omega were still using case numbers (here at 11422333) in 1956 - presumably for certain gold cased models only.

    Thank you all for your nice comments

    You are right, I always leave the best for the end

    this is why I keep the dial to the end

    this is my way to make a post

    thank you

    It's great if you are fond of puzzles! You get a glimpse here, and a glimpse there, and then you just have to put the pieces together.

    A very interesting package, but if it was a sales ad, I personally would have moved on
