Hi! Just joined the club. Last june, I bought my first serious watch, and as I like old stuf, it was a 1941 Longines. Owning a classic Omega remained a wish until I found a nice black dial 2760-6c from 1952 on a local marketplace-website. In february, another 1952 Omega followed, with the same 35mm case but with a subsecond. Both are in original condition, with -from what i believe- are original dials and crowns. On the black one, the golden submarkers and writings are almost vanished, but visible with a magnifying glass. I love the patina on both, altough I can imagine it's not everyones cup of tea.

And then, in march, I found my dream watch, an Omega Speedmaster Triple Date from 1999 in almost unworn condition. No plans for a fourth Omega in april yet... On to the photos!

Nice trio, welcome to the forum.

You're hooked, it's all downhill from here...

Careful, they can breed like rabbits.

(Now if I can just deny the rabbits access to the bank account.)

Welcome to this club !
Well if I had to rank them, I'd definitely put a Nr 1 on the Triple date ; I nearly bought one some time back, colours are absolutely mad and I really love this dial !
Nr 2 would clearly be the black dial : really stunning even if it is hardly possible to read the scripts, but the whole atmosphere of this watch !!! 🥰🥰 1952 but amazingly modern ! Has it got a Bumper Cal. ?

thanks. The Speedy has been on my wrist the last three weeks since I bought it. Love it. Agree that the black 52 is more beautiful but for some reason, the sub second 52 gets more wrist time. The dial plays with the light, it’s very hard to capture in photos.

It’s a cal. 283 by the way, the other being a 266 (has had a service since).

Of course ! I realized that shortly after having pressed the button that it's not an automatic ! my eyes (and the brain...) are blurred by my Connie hunt, which are automatic.
