That is a great collection in 10 years.
May I ask if someone does the maintenance for you or you do it yourself ?

Regards

I dont get all of them serviced, mostly the one I wear. I have 2 watchmakers I use at the moment. Crystal and crowns I change, but the rest a I let the watchmakers do.

Your IG account was the first time I remember thinking “wow, this guy has a lot of nice Omegas.”

I’ve found some others since then of course..

Wow, that's awesome!
Are all of these still inn your collection?

Any more info about the constellation in the middle with a brown(?) dial?

The one I show is the ones I have to day, I have had a lot more during the years that I have sold.

The Connie is a ref. 168.017, cal. 564 from 1968, with a rare fumé dial 😀

That’s a fantastic collection, congratulations and I agree with what others have said about it not being all about Speedmasters. Speedmasters are my first passion but I also get a lot of pleasure from my Dynamics and at a fraction of the cost.

Great collection! I have to say the T17s are some of my favorites in your collection though! 😀

December 6, 2009 was the day I went to visit my parents, mentioned that I was looking for a new watch and my father said he had some old watches in a drawer upstairs. There was a few dresswatches from the 1950-60's and this Speedmaster. My father inherited the Speedmaster from a friend that died around 1980 from cancer, it been been in the drawer since then because my father found it to big to wear 😀
Knew nothing about watches so asked on a Danish Watch forum what I got from my father an it turned out to be a ref. 145.012-67.
This started my interest for vintage Omega and I got Seamaster 30 for a daily wearer, then i got one more and one more and then it went wrong and today's count in the collection is 179 vintage Omega's.

There is no theme in my collection, I buy what I like and I have periods where it could be 1950' manual dress or others themes I prefer.

I dont have the funds the buy a lot of Speedmaster and other expensive Omega's so I stay in the low price range and try to find them in good original condition or the older ones with acceptable patina.

I owe a big thank you to Omegaforums for the knowledge I have been given through this forum, I have learned so much here over the years 😀

Best Thomas

amazing collection and the condition is impressive. It has to be interesting to see what you choose to wear every day!! I do agree some culling out so you can upgrade the collection is something considering.
