    Thanks for the tip, just ordered a copy for myself too. Its ~144 pages and from memory has some errors in it but for the money its worth having.

    I ordered one, may be the least expensive purchase I've ever made in this hobby.
    The Speedy bug hasn't hit yet, so MWO has to wait until the proper time or price.

    I hope that "Englische Ausgabe" means it's printed in English.
    Otherwise I'll only be staring at the pictures (like with most of my reading!).

    Thanks, Arms, for the heads-up.
    I wonder if they have his other Omega book?

    Ich wünschte, ich sprach Deutsch!

    I contacted the seller before I bought one and asked if its printed in english and he said yes and typed english very well so I have no cause for concern :)

    I have both of the Goldberger Omega books as well as his Longines edition. These were for a good few years the only watch books I had and I still like to have a look through them now and again for some very nice pictures.
    As others have said they are not reference material as AJTT or MWO are, but when they were originally released there wasn't much else on the market and these filled a nice gap for the collector.
    More coffee table books now than anything else but well worth the money IMO.

    sure, plus John has some pictures of there of some very rare and collectable watches, to me the more CORRECT pictures I have of certain watches, the better use they will serve when I need to reference something! thanks xristo
