The c-shaped and integrated bracelet Connie’s go for seriously little money- it’s actually amazing how far off the radar they are from the mainstream vintage buyers. And these are among some of the best movements Omegas ever made; last of the in-house before the farm-out.
I guess the case shapes are a love or hate situation. I think they are dead sexy and an archetype of their time. As Rolex was still flogging their long in the tooth Oyster (and still are) omega was on the cutting edge of style.
I may have posted this one earlier in the thread but this was $400 on eBay-original owner, never polished- it might as well have been free.

 

Wow I had no idea they could be snagged up at that price, gonna go web surfing for one right now

 

On an local eBay auction

 

Looks amazing

 

I bought this 1968 stainless Seamaster cal. 565 around six months ago. Runs well, maybe 15 to 20 seconds negative per day. A few scratches on the dial but otherwise a nice watch for $425. I find myself wearing it often.

 

some lovely vintage dynamics are available all day just under $500

 

hummmmmmm. Good.

 

hummmmmmm. Good.

 

Picked up this 70s manual Perseo Ferrovie Dello Stato in the satin C case yesterday. Perseo supplied since 1927
( still does ) the Italian State Railroad (the FS on the caseback) ...I was originally thinking of getting the UG version - but for less $ settled on this one instead; I also liked the Cortébert historical connection w Perseo. Powered by the Perseo branded 17jewel workhorse Unitas cal 6325
( Wehrmachtswerk/Army movem’t) it ticks at 21600 and the whole watch just feels solid. ... IMO it looks nice on the blue/grey Vera Pelle strap. Buona Caccia!

 

Oops. Sorry. My bad. Guess I got excited over the Cortébert- Omega connection. Which has absolutely nothing to do w this watch.

 

Wow, that is incredible! Where did you find such a nice example for such a low price. Very jealous over here...

 

What a beauty!!!

I waaaaant it!!!!

 

Just got this for well under 500$

Omega Seamaster ref. 135.005, cal. 600 from 1963/64.

First pic. is auction pic. Put an Omega strap and crown on and a new crystal and it is shining again

 

Picked it up for a lot less than $500 - around 300€. 50 years old, but loads of personality!

 

Bellissimo!

I got a friend with some pocket watches which were supplied to FS and the logo of Ferrovie is engraved in the back. These watches have 50+ years and I’m still amazed by the quality.

This is the omega i got for IDR 4,500,000 or USD400.

Seamaster daydate

Im not sure whether this still have all its original parts or partly frankenstein. But im satisfied enough with its wearability and performance.

Here is the watch:






If any of you know about this watch feel free to comment and help me to get to know this watch more.

 

With some help from surrogate hunters...

 

...sir, you cannot just finish off a story like that. Please tell what happened next!

 

Lol!!! Sorry for the cliff-hanger. I sent it off to an watchmaker to have it redone, who sent the dial out to a reputable dial refinisher. I opted to have it redone in black as the likelyhood of me finding an original black Deville was slim (they are Uber rare and when they do come up in good shape go for $$$). The result was very attractive, but it was a redial and I just couldn’t bring myself to wearing it (a psychological thing). I passed it along to a friend who loves it and doesn’t get hung up on the redial thing.
That was one of my noob-taxes. I won’t buy another that Is challenged cosmetically.
