This thread does more to make me discontent than any other thread on OmegaForums except for WRUW.

The good news is that most of the watches in this thread can be had for considerably less than most of the watches posted in WRUW!

Yeah, they can be had easily enough. And, I love WRUW and see lots of watches there to place on the want list. But, I'm also drawn to so many that members feature in this thread. There's something about the 30mm manual wind Omegas.

I think my "wanter button" is turned up too high.

Early Cal 30 movement in a 35mm stainless steel snapback case:

How early would that one be?

Love full numeral markers!

View attachment 893895 My first vintage Omega, that I bought today. Well, I actually exchanged a previously bought badly redialed watch for this one, they were the same price. (Result of reading Omega forum, I guess) This is ref 2190 with 30t2 movement, from about 1944-45. I like the way it can change its color when light changes. No photoshopping here.

Occasionally I get back to this great thread and every time I remember why I love vintage watches and vintage omegas above all.
Happy New Year to all of you!
