路Hi All
long term collector of Rolex and to some extent Omega but the Omega passion is growing who doesn't love the new Snoopy !
I have been on the generic forums for 15+ years
but it seems logical to be on here for all things Omega and of course the best advice and knowledge in particular on what I think is a quite lovely 145.002 - 76
I picked it up very recently from a small local jeweller who was asked to sell the watch by the family of its 1st owner who purchased the watch new in early 1979 from his local AD...
apparently it has lived a charmed life as the owner put it away in its box after getting bored with winding it up...
having experienced some late 70's Submariners that are 'draw' finds and peachy I can only say this feels / seems very similar with no evidence of any real wear or refurbishment (the 1171 has no stretch)....but son in law said he believed it was serviced within last few years but did not think at Omega....
It has its original box and punched papers and a few checks on similar aged 145.002's seem to confirm correct box and 399xxxxx movement dates to mid 1977....( happy to be corrected)
I would welcome any views on watch generally and of course components hands / bezel / bracelet etc...
unsure whether to wear or well put it back in the dark but that would seem a shame even though its gotten used to the dark .....
