Hello

I discovered a couple of weeks ago this fantastic forum for every Omega lover , since then I have been presenting my Vintage collection , now It´s time to do with my last piece , it is the most important and which I am more proud of , here you can see my Speedmaster CK2915-2

I love this watch , specially the nice chocolate dial and its importance in Omega history , I am really , really lucky to be the owner of this piece

It is a pleasure for me to share this pictures with you

Thanks for looking and hope you like

 

That killed me!

no words, really!

 

Amazing - thanks for sharing

Feel free to share how you found it.....

 

That's a real beauty!

Let me be the first to call .....






DIBS!

 

It is a nice watch indeed - but I would prefer it with an original bezel, this one seems to be aftermarket...

 

Ouchh ...on that first Dibs.........Ok second dibs then (btw i don't really care about aftermarket bezel).........I know it would be almost forever to wait

The dial patina is really a killer.

 

Really?
please explain because I would have called that original.
I do see a lot of variation in these, and many do look hand engraved - but I don't know if that is because that's how they they were made or if they were replacements.

 

Agree with Spacefruit ....but there seems to be more experts here

 

What a great set you have but you saved the best for last indeed! thanks for sharing!

 

And the "Hits" just kept on coming - Wow!!!

 

You quys have all the goodies....sob...snif...

 

Yeah, this forum CAN be depressing...

 

This is the bezel version for 2915 -1 judging by the font.

AFAIK the bezel layout and font for 2915 -2 - is the same as on the black base 1000 bezel which was used on 2998 -1 (you can say they are just black and white "negatives" to each other) - and this type of bezel has a DON !
But I will stand corrected by the real Speedy experts as I am still on a steep learning curve - what tells the book?

 

Regardless of bezel correctitude (might have just invented a word) that dial colour is glorious.

 

"......the book......" !

have our our lives changed forever?

i feel mine has.......

 

thanks!

i wonder just how much variation there is - if they were hand engraved, there might be. If machine then there should not be.

 

I am no expert about the abilities of engravers, but my "common sense" or gut feeling tells me that it is impossible to engrave such a bezel by hand.
The shallowness and fineness of the numbers and hatches - they are so regularly and evenly executed - leads me to the assumption that they were rather etched than engraved... just a thought (no proof though)...

 

Lovely ageing to that dial!
