Hi all,

It’s been a while since owning an omega but tonight I picked up this lovely example of the last of the C shape Connie’s.

its a 168.0057. What do we think?

I don’t know anything about these watches but from a purely aesthetic view point, I find it really good looking.

Thank you. Yes I do like the look of it. I had the 168.0056 a while back with the 1011 movement and it was also a pretty watch but this one wins the beauty pageant.

The blue is gorgeous....Not familiar with these. Is that an Omega bracelet?

Yes it is. I’m trying to find 1 link for it too.
I am pretty happy with it.

Thank you all. Much appreciated, been chasing a C shape since I sold the last one. The dial is obviously blue but I have noticed the colour change to purple in certain lighting.

It is the 1040. It’s is unfortunately 1 link too short and I can’t find one to buy. So I have ordered a clasp extender and will keep up the search for one.
