Very nice 2799 amongst the gold Connies. 👍 What is it with the hands on those though? The rest of the watch could be mint+ yet the hands always manage to need some cleaning.

Great group of crosshair dials too.

This, I need some help with. A Geneva Officially Certifed in 18 carat gold (NOS).Bought it a few months ago. Anyone know anything about this watch? I think it may be quite rare. Will let my watchmaker open it so I can take pictures of the engine. Will not risk scratching the NOS Watch.

Don't see many caliber 602 chronometers. It's a mid- to late-60's watch most likely.

I'll look it up in A Journey Through Time when I get a chance. Nice! 👍

Translator Google este mare. It's the wrong book mentioned though - they're talking about Omega Saga.

Threw on a custom user title as it seemed rather appropriate after posting that much porn.

OMG.. You are saying that you have over 365 vintage Omegas ??.. Yout user title should be 'Vintage Omega Whore' !!!..😁
Seriously what a fantastic collection.

I really like this guy. He even has one of the few vintage Rolexes that are on my list. 😉

That geneve is distinctive in that it is the only geneve model to be a certified chronometer and the last manual wind certified chronometer made by omega. And it was only available in an 18k gold case. Here is mine (also NOS with original strap, buckle, box and hangtag):

Kyle - check it out: another CHRONOMETRE caliber 504 Connie. 👍

Oh, and even though he's new I'm claiming dibs on the reverse panda 861 Seamaster 145.016 chronograph. 😁 Love those 145.xxx C-case watches! Makes me want my old 145.006 18ct 321 back.

This guy needs to be banned immediately. 😁 My reason? His collection is far too nice and just made me drool all over myself.
Finally somebody to give Dennis a run for his money!

This seems to be a very friendly forum, so I will show you many Omega watches from my modest collection in the near future. Now I have to sleep, it's middle of the night where I live near the North Pole. But first I need to scare off polar bears from my snow cave. Take care!

👍👍👍👍

I'm still waiting for MSNWatches to chime in and start a shoot-out. Digging out collections like this and seeing them on the internet is why we made this site 1 year ago.

Not until I'm sure I can't pester him into selling me one or two of those puppies. 😉😝

Pffft, I'm small potatoes compared to many of the guys that post on various Omega forums already. Some of the members here have much more than Omega in their collections - we just don't see all their watches publicly. I might be very selective but I don't have unlimited resources.
