·So, you want us on the Vintage Omega Forum to give you every Omega Seamaster model with 20 mm lugs ? Why? You can research that yourself.....

·OK, I have been trying, politely, to make inquiries about my various interests in Omega watches. I own 1 automatic and 3 f300s and a driver chronostop on the way.
Repeatedly, I have had the snark police pile on about why they think I'm lazy or obnoxious for asking these questions despite the fact I have been reading this forum since 2006. I am not seeking any undue treatment, just trying to have conversations about my common interest. Most of my inquiries have been after I have looked thru this site, studied the brochures on Old_omega, and general searches online. If this is the current tone of this board, I suggest maybe you guys get off your high horse and try to be a bit more hospitable. If you find members questions too tedious, just save your breath and move on. This tone can only lead to alienating people and the withering of a forum full of enthusiasm and interest. Be civil for Pete's sake.

·Thank you, my typo on the date I mentioned. When I bought the .027 I was surprised to learn it had 20 mm lugs. My other early Omegas are ,as you say, 18-19mm.
I appreciate your comments, Ive had a couple of other unhelpful responses on other threads, so I felt I needed to vent a bit.
Peace.

·The forum wasn't here in 2006, you mean 2016 which is when you joined according to your profile. I'm not with the snark police, just a pedant. Part of your problem is that there were not many pre 1970 models in 20mm or higher, there were some but they are in the minority, most classic Omega models are 18-19mm.

·I am here to help. What you need to do is create a thread stating “The only vintage Omegas using a 20mm strap are” and list the ones you know. The same people will come along to tell that you’re wrong and list the ones you missed.
Sometimes the answer is that simple.
You’re welcome. 👎

·A little tailoring of the message for the audience. Fair enough.

·I don’t generally buy watches as a result of what straps I own hahah BUT a 2077 now that’s something I would consider. Yesterday I bought a 2097 (not because of the strap size) but it’s also incidentally 20mm.
