Here's my latest Omega! A metallic blue dial ST176.002 Speedmaster MkIIIa non-Professional, and a Pulsations bezel. I did a search on Google, but cannot find another MkIIIa with a Pulsations bezel, yet the Omega Vintage Database does state that this model came with 4 bezel variations. From Chuck Maddox's classic writeup Speedmaster Mark Series, I understand the non-Professional is the earlier variant, but it's not easy to find a blue dialled non-Professional - most of the earlier non-Professionals I can find are the black dial variants. So is this a rare, early, blue dialled non-Professional with a rare Pulsations bezel, or do I have some kind of franken? Does anyone else have a blue dialled non-Professional MkIIIa, or one with a Pulsations bezel??? ben Singapore
nice MKIII .... i dont know how long Omega equipped the MKIII's with the non Prof. Dials. But i think it was only a short time. Same thing with the bezel. Standart was the Tachy and if specially ordered it came with de tele, pulso or de decimal bezel. i have 2 MKIII non prof. one with the telemeter and one with the decimal bezel and one pulso bezel is in the spare parts box
Beautiful pair, Incabloc!! My MkIII has serial number 34241xxx. Would that be consistent with a non-Prof MkIII? Would you be willing to share the serial numbers of your 2 MkIIIs?
thank you.... no problem but i have only the serial from the blue one that was in Biel for Service, it is 342406.. the silver one i can not open, the Caseback is to tight and dont want to damage it. patrik
