··Most fun screen name at ΩFI wish my wife had bought me this....
Instead I had those notorious enablers @Peemacgee and @ConElPueblo push me into buying this:
Not bad condition, some wear and if it's been polished ever it was very light; nice crisp edges. The medallion is good:
Plus it came with an unused or barely used Omega branded strap. It looks pretty authentic too me. As was noted in the "Recommended Omega Watch on fleaBay" thread it's oddly sporting a gold colored buckle. I'm sure I can find an appropriate watch for it.
EDIT:
I had a vintage Omega lizard strap in black with the same buckle in stainless so I mounted it:

Very nice. For damn sure it's better than catching something else!

·Well done Steve - glad to hear from your message that you consider, like me, that the thing is even better once in your possession than was your expectation. Can't imagine ever wanting to sell mine on.

·Not a watch but watch related...I drove across town (Cincinnati, Ohio) to a watch tool vendor (Cas-Ker Co.) and purchased a Bergeon 3153 spring bar tool. I had been wanting to do this for some time since I didn't want to bust my secondary Omega spring bar tool (I have two identical Omega spring bar tools, a primary and a secondary) on the "baseball bat" size spring bars of my Seiko 6309-7049 (on left in first pic). Also, the Bergeon 3153 has a second tool for removing outboard accessible spring bars such as those found on my recently purchased Seiko SRP777K1 (on right in first pic)...good times! 👍

·This watch was pointed out to me by a wonderful forum member and friend about two weeks ago (you know who you are). It finally arrived today, and it looks even better in person.
Universal Geneve ref. 20608 housing a Cal. 265
Serial number 1200000 dates it to 1945-1946
Thank you for pointing it out, it is effectively a great addition to my UG collection.

·Padders, That astronaut is really cool. It was worn by several early astronauts and was tested side by side with the speedmaster. In fact Gordo Cooper wore both on his Mercury mission, noting that the Omega lost time during lift off due to the excessive G forces but that the Bulova was not affected by the Gs. He later used the astronaut (not the Omega as popularly repeated) to time his retro burn, and had the most accurate splash down of any Mercury astronaut. It was also the watch issued by the USAF to all the X-15 pilots and by the CIA to A-12 pilots.
