How many of your TA's did you acquire during the last 4 years, if I may ask?

3 of them.

Not at this time 😀
Have a habit of purchasing the models I like repeatedly...

Looking through the collection and decided to take a group photo:

1 is a no-arrow but original
4 are original TAs with one of them being RNZAF
6 are the Bienne replacement TA dials (equally hard to locate as the original TAs)

And all lined up:

Amazing collection!

Saw one a few days ago on the 'net with an asking price just south of $2K. They were significantly less even a few years ago.

As always, Bill's got the inside track when it comes to Omega.

Cordially,

If it is a thin arrow at that price is an absolute steal - I would buy 20 of them at that price this instant! If it is the more common fat arrow version that's still a good price.

Wow, some collection......ever think of getting in touch with the MoD to find out anything about the servicemen that were given them.

I consider the original TA dials to be more desirable IF the condition of the dial is very good. I prefer the Bienne TA dial versions to original TAs in below average condition. I will point out that in my experience over the past 7 years or so they are both equally hard to locate.
