Love struck on the weekend, and I snapped this up on impulse!

So... how did I do?

 

Good enough that you saved yourself from an assigned avatar. Seriously, I was literally about to give you this:




That's a hell of an entrance into vintage Omega if that's your first. You've bought yourself a week's stay of avacution.

 

First Omega. First vintage.

I'll adopt it - for a week.

 

Well done then! You rank in the upper percentile for freshmen, by far.

Looks good! Actually, really good ….. and I didn't think it would, which is why I chose it.

 

Very nice watch
Congrats on your first omega and welcome to the forum!

 

I do like the font of seamaster on these, did you buy from someone on here on the forum? The case looks sharp, and it has a great caseback

 

FANTASTIC!!! It doesn't get any better on these!

 

very nice!

 

Really nice!

Hmmmmm.... turning 50 in a few months........gold Connie or Seamaster Pro... questions, quostions... And would be my first too!

 

Really really nice! I´ll be turning 50 shortly so been thinking of getting me a gold Connie or a seamaster Pro from same era........ Would be my frist vintage Omega too

Where did this avatar come Thats my ´83 Z1000 ELR, pic taken in ´07 at our summerplace. What

 

Damn I'm good!

 

So you really googled my nick, Thanks mate!! I Drinks on me!

 

Looking at your avatar.........I predict Seamaster Pro ........... vintage 1964 or 1965? 105.012 or 145.002 would be a perfect choice.....

edit: I must be pretty sleepy when I typed this. It should be Seamaster 300 165.024 or 166.024

 

You have done very well, grasshopper! Excellent choice, from one of our trusted and wise sellers...just tell us how you snatched it from his hand!!
Welcome to the OF...great first buy.
You do know that you have set the bar high...and that you buy the first round for us all!

 

Seamaster Pro mid ´60s Definately, I used to scubadive when I was younger and I spend most of my summer by the ocean ie. Baltic Sea. Selling that bike would make a nice budget...no way

 

I made mistake in my first post . It should be Seamaster 300 (before Pro) with ref 165.024 or 166.024 (year 1964 and above)

 

I had a GPz 1100. It was the one with the red tank, an '81 I think. I kept it for a few years but sold it before it killed me.

 

Privateday: Yes, either Seamaster 300 or Speedmaster Pro, I´n not a too specialized with these, sorry. There´s one on ebay....300 from ´64...

Blackwatch: GPz1100 was the strting point for ELR. Great vintage bikes both, ELR being more rare and sought after.

 

Even though I already have a ref. 14905 cal. 552, I'm sorry I didn't buy this! This is so damn nice!!! Never really been sorry about purchasing a watch...but there have been oh so many times that I was sorry I didn't...and that's all I have to say about that. (In other words Whitedot...you did very well!!! )

 

Thank you, thank you.

Plot foiled. It is beginning to grow on me.

From Norman.

Let me regale you with my tale of unexpected triumph. 'Twas a day like any other. Watchrecon popped up, and there on the first page was a beauty in miniature amongst 49 plebs. An extraordinary turn of events, I must say. I had seen Seamasters come and go, bought and sold, without so much as batting an eyelid. But, this chap* was immediately and exceptionally handsome to my eye - rose gold indices; sharp, angular lugs; slim, elegant hands; light, textured dial; hippocampus caseback, and no lume or date. Rose. Gold. Love at first sight. Serendipity at its best. I had to have him.

Without further ado or rational thought process, I contacted Norman, and the rest is history.

*It has to be a chap. I am in fact female, so "she" doesn't work.
