    4 shiny watches - not because they were polished but because they are factory fresh. They are all 35-36mm in size without crown and they demonstrate what I like about vintage omegas - elegant simplicity.

    These two are simply spectacular!

    Mike, you have too many of these NOS vintage Omegas. In accordance with anti-trust law, I'm going to appoint myself as custodian of your collection and disperse them as the membership sees fit.

    You don't own any firearms, large kitchen knives, axes, or a commercial woodchipper, do you? :D I wouldn't want to get 'Fargoed'.

    Beautiful examples. I love these games where you study the picture to find the differences! Two of them have me stuck...:)

    Nice examples, the import marks on the lugs are interesting as well. :)

    Shows Portugal is a nice country, but why the last one doesn't say Swiss Made?

    Because it's the oldest model of the 4 when dials did not have swiss made routinely marked.

    That's interesting! When generally did that routine start? Is it possible to have a showcase of the movement for that one? Thanks.

    Don't want to get things confiscated that's why many of my watches haven't been seen in public yet! ;)

    OK, I apply as poor fellow with no worthy NOS in my collection, which definitely need NOS subsidy distribution.

    I'd call dibs but then I'd have to pick one!

    I agree with hoipolloi, I would pick #1.
    But I would have any of the four. I do like sub dials!

    Interesting.. I've have put these down as 1940s. The difference in styling between these manual winds and Seamaster dress watches from the same years is really surprising!
