    Hello all,
    I bought this Omega today!

    All my Omegas are SS or silver cased so I thought this could be a nice acquisition.Newly chromed I'm sure but still very good looking.
    Does anyone know anything about the model, reference,etc...?
    Calibre 26,5SOB.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Cool watch. I had an eye on it but finally didn't bid on this one. Glad that you won it,.
    That's a MA 710. Here in a 1927 catalog (I think ref 710 and 800 were the first ones with a 26.5 SOB but were produced over a long period):

    1933 catalog :

    Yours is a later production, with a 26.5SOB T2 (mine have a 26.5 SOB) and no hinged caseback (as in the 1933 catalog).

    Well, yes I'm glad I bought this one but had a hard time to decide. I actually had to negotiate and finally got it with a discount!
    Your catalogue archive is amazing! Where do you get this images from?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    They come from my collection. I've gathered all catalogs and advertisings I could find for the 1900-1950 period for some years now. I've scanned them so that I can search them without damaging the pages.
