    Today the 25th anniversary arrived. Looks like unworn . The only worse thing was that an 1499/ 842 bracelet was mounted but then the big surprise in the box was an new original 1479 wit 812 end links.::psy::

    Thanks . The watch looks like unworn and never polish everything is in grate condition no marks no scratches, and the best was, that the missing bracelet was absolutely new with the watch.

    Wow---looking at the depth of that engraving on the side makes me think 99% of these watches have been polished to death.

    It`s took a while that I found a watch in this state. And she was better than as described. I would say never be worn. Although the bottom is as if she came directly from Omega.

    Most of them are, even the "unpolished" ones. ;)

    I've always found that engraving a classy touch. Maybe they'll do something like that on the 50th.

    Very nice!

    First I’ve seen with black infill, is that because others are polished or the black paint flakes off?

    I would say both of it, the watch I would say was not worn. You can see it on the bottom too. All letters are with the black infill and nothing is missing

    Great watch! The tritium lume on these tends to mature to a beautiful creamy yellow. The 1479 bracelet is really nicely tapered at the clasp.

    Winner!
