    Hi everyone

    got this one off the bay! 42 mm ! Dual crown Super compressor w depth gauge! ( missing the glass tube , I think it's a simple fix). The bezel markings faded/ worn out over time... The champion braceket was short but found some links from another auction I won that was just a bag of broken bracelets ! I think it's killer timepiece.


    Good Hunting

    Acquired this last month and officially initiated myself into the omega owners club - but first chance to wear it was today. Nice.

    :) Alex, I really like the 'c's on the brick - it kind of magnifies the seventies period cool without making them stand out.

    I bought a similar one just to raid for the bracelet - it turned out to be better than the planned recipient so now I have two!

    Totally agree with you there! :) I've started adding this 70's touch to other 70's Omega using different steel bracelets. Let's hope the bracelet fits.

    I bought this from the Salvation Army.

    Description: It is pre-owned. It runs for a few minutes, then stops.

    No idea what I'm getting, but I loved the dial and hands and it looked sad, so I rescued it.

    Worst case, I encase it in lucite and have an interesting paperweight.

    Dennis helped me out with this TV screen and I would also recommend this watch to any new Omega enthusiast. High beat, in-house and inexpensive. it's very good looking.

    That could be a concerning development, especially with the new Altiplano 900Ps
