I'm looking for my first vintage Omega, and see this one on the "private watch sales" forum on this site: https://omegaforums.net/threads/fs-...017-cal-561-w-original-boxes-1966-nice.49281/

I'd appreciate advice about this watch.

 

An honest watch. It has the polished chamfer on the case sides which often get's worn off after careless polishing.

To add to the factoids at the end, it was December of 1964 that Omega introduced the C-case, and the name C-case also refers to the case shape.

One side question: How's your brother Howard enjoying the freedom of Sirius radio?

 

I have a cousin Howard, but not he of broadcast infamy. Thanks for the info.
