Happy Holidays from Las Vegas.

I’ve been fascinated with watches since my grandma took me watch shopping for my first watch at 8 years old; it was a basic, silver Timex.

I currently have several nice watches. As a diver and retired law enforcement, I mostly have tactical Luninox and dive type watches, including two Submariners, a 116610LV and 16613LN. That said, I’ve always wanted an Omega Seamaster Professional with the sword hand and waveless black dial, but never looked hard for one.

Well, last week I was at a jewelry store to have my FBI Academy ring repaired (long story) when I spotted this cherry Seamaster Professional sitting forlornly is the display case. Yada yada yada and I am now the proud owner of an as new 2006 Seamaster 2594..52, complete with boxes, warranty cards, hang tag, etc. I love my Subs, but the Seamaster just has a certain
je ne sais quoi the Rolex lacks; it definitely looks like it means business.

Welcome to the Omega Forum. That's a great watch you picked up, where it in good health. There are a few LEO's on OF (I'm retired). 👍

Thanks, pleased to be here.
Did I post in the right section?
If not, perhaps the moderators can move it. 😀

I think you're ok. You could have put it Modern Omega Watches, but 6 of one...

Is there a clear sandwich back that would fit this model?

You posted in the watch photography section, which you clearly posted photos of watches 😜 so you’re good.

If you’re into guns, there is a thread for you:

Thread 'So... any of our members here have an interest in firearms?' ·
This is a taboo topic on a couple of other forums, for whatever mis-guided reasons, so I thought I'd start a thread about it here. I know there's quite a few people out there who collect both...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the watch.

Unlikely. I don’t believe Omega made a sapphire caseback for this reference and this reference isn’t popular enough for an aftermarket option. Just means you need another Omega in your collection in which you can find a sapphire caseback 😉

Btw, we are a bunch of enablers here… so have fun 😀

The 70 Python still shipped with the 2nd gen grips. My favorite.

It’s kind of a cool story. I inherited a 1970 python with less than 10 shots fired through it and a
1970 Speedmaster. My Dad liked the best of things back in the day.

This requires a Python / Omega picture 😀

Sweet!

Not sure where my dad’s Timex is, but here’s his 1937 Colt Official Police (bottom left). Need to update my Colt family portrait.

Congrats man, they’re a great piece and quite good value as the pre-owned market really overlooks this generation despite a quite thin and cool movement for a chronograph.
