I hope I did OK. Let me have your opinions, either way. I believe this to be a "transitional" s/n 30,5xx,xxx, cal. 861 The redline on the dial is actually a caseback protector. The crystal & dial are pristine. Sorry the photos aren't better.
Looks great! Nice condition, bezel is very good. You picked up a really nice watch with a valuable 1039 bracelet w/ the correct 516 end pieces.
Thanks and I see I'm passed due welcoming you to this forum. So, welcome. A lot of knowledgeable collectors here, ready and willing to share their vast Omega expertise and information for varied types of collectors.
Good job, it's great looking watch with a nice dial, though and I may be wrong in this but I think the bezel may be a later replacement
What? I've advanced past the hazings? When did that happened? Thanks, I owe it all to my forum mentors. Four rules, 1) Find funding 2) Find nicest Omega in your sights (connies, seamaster, speedmaster etc.) 3) Get forum advice/approval on specific watch 4) Win auction/close deal. Simple...
