    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.

    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

    Very nice watch. I'd like one in my collection once I can shift my connie addiction! :whistling:

    Nice watch Mike. It is nice to know that all of those early beatings were not wasted on you. :D

    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...:D
