·I have been on other watch enthusiast forums for over 15 years but my account here is new. I would like to discuss my Connie.
The serial number puts it to 1966. It's a 167.005 with a 551/1 movement. When I acquired the watch it was in fine condition. I handed it over to a master watch maker who performed a full service on the movement, lightly polished the case back to bright gold, cleaned the original dial, and replaced the hands. He felt new hands were in order since the old luminova was flaky. She looks like new and I wear it only on special occasions a couple of times each year. The case still has nice clean edges and the lugs still show the gold proof marks. The crystal has the Omega logo in the center. The medallion on the back also looks pristine, at least in my opinion.
I'll attach one photo here and you can see a dozen more photos here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAFEdZ
What do you think of it?
Regards,
Chuck
