    Hi All,

    Any thoughts from the members on the MOY test for this Omega Constellation Pie Pan CD 168.0005 with calibre 561 ?

    Serial number is 24 478 238. sam_0835.jpg

    Cheers,
    Bert

    That movement is one of the 'famous' 100,000 that went through chronometer testing en bloc (Oct 64 to Feb 66) without a single reject

    Cheers

    Interesting! I've read a lot about Omega, and forgotten more than I care to admit. Do you recall where you picked up that nugget? Sounds like a source I haven't read (or, more likely, have forgotten!) Thanks!

    From memory it was the Omega book 'Journey Through Time' and the serial numbers were 24,410,000 to 24,509,999

    Cheers

    Ooops - sorry for the above post - a bit of 'finger trouble'. Large digits and touch screens just don't work.
