    Next in the tour, we will enter third chamber located adjacent to the main hall. At the left corner wall, there are 5 glass cases showing the Constellation line. From early Luxes to Double claw Manhattan design. From bumper 352 to Megaquartz. It's really a treat for Omega dressy watch fan.

    Ah yellow gold............ ::facepalm2:: So Omega only produced early Grand Luxe with yellow gold, rose gold and platinum? None with white gold?
    I think I should edit my post above with platinum.

    Did you buy anything? I considered the textured dial 2752 but the premium makes it expensive!

    I might have bought a couple - hints about one dropped elsewhere on this forum. The other one was a real cheapo that I HAD to buy because it was so me.

    What? No Globemaster?

    [​IMG]

    It's just a Constellation without the name.

    I'm quite surprised there's not one in Museum somewhere,

    Yes.......... no Globemaster and its story (lawsuit about Constellation name) in the museum. I think most effort goes to Moon landing story and event surrounding it. The other only got limited real estate and attention.

    The Globemaster is actually located in the American/Morris annex, behind the privy at the Bienne Municipal building
