As you may have noticed, I am a fairly new member here, but haven't posted anything up to now. I have been reading different threads here for several years but never subscribed to the forum.
I have quite a large collection of vintage watches. I started out in 2014 with an old Bumper Omega from 1946/47? and then things somehow got out of control....

So I would like to say hi and I am looking forward to learn more about watches by reading here.

Best,
Applepie

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome on board!

 

Welcome!

 

It would be nice if you posted photos (all or some) of your watches. We enjoy looking at watch collections

 

Welcome!
Pictures?

 

Thank you all! I will be happy to show you a few of my treasures.. Nothing very exciting, but stuff I like and find interesting.

I need to figure out how to post photos here first though.

 

When you post, press the ADD PHOTOS option
Generally, go to PHOTO LIBRARY on your phone or tablet
Touch the photo you want to post and a blue tick appears.
Touch ADD
It’ll take a few seconds for the photos you’ve chosen to appear below the post box.
Touch INSERT PHOTO or INSERT ALL

 

Yes photos are mandatory Welcome

 

Welcome!

 

Hello together! I hope you like this little Omega out of my collection. I love the blued hands on it and the sweep second had me crack for it right away. I also liked the aged dial. The Reference is 9739429. At least that‘s what‘s engraved in the case back.

 

"The Swiss Post- and Railway Department

Exactly! Thank you for the translation. It must have been an interesting time period.

 

Hello and welcome to OF!

 

Welcome and we wait for more pictures..

 

Hello there! So more photos of my watches are requested?

Well, I think I might have a few photos on my phone…




I call the middle one ‚Grubby Buddy‘ since he suffered a bit of dial dammage. I think it makes him look uniqie. I quite like these evenly patinated fellows. How do you like them?

Happy to answer any questions regarding the watches. Have a nice weekend!

 

I like your wrist watch - I have a gold capped 14704 with a cal 591 which may be similar
