some purists hate this watch, but I think it's a cool addition to my collection. I think this is another
example of how Omega designs beat the boring Rolex designs. BTW, seller's photo.

Very nice, there is a Roman Numeral version of that watch too.

Along similar lines (museum collection) I have this one.

Great stuff. Omega does have some great designs both past and present. At least they reissue some from time to time unlike Rolex.

That looks a very complicated dial.

Really?

These sit around unsold for years... even Omega still have stock. 😉
They do? Know of anyplace in particular?

They turn up on eBay pretty regularly, and chrono24 - as to the OB stock... you just have to ask what they have out back, to see years of unsold museum pieces. 😉

These are excellent....I had one when they were first released and let it go for some reason. The outside-inside bezel is quite a treat. Did you get the whole box set with the long strap?.....for when you want to strap it to you thigh (flying your open cockpit plane of course).

Bear in mind that you'll pay a high retail for anything an OB has, and these don't do well in the secondary market... you'll be much better off financially to go looking for something on eBay, Chrono24 or WatchRecon. 😉

A fair point that I actually didn't think about. Got swept up in it for a moment. I thank you.
