My First Omega Ever!

Nice one.
Well done on investigating before buying.
The regulator hard over on Retard usually indicated a service is due so get that sorted.

New here - recently picked up an Omega (my first), and after some checks of the buyer's pictures along with a snooping-around of the forums, I finally got this delivered today! Most first Omegas are Speedmasters, Seamasters, and vintage Constellations, so I decided to opt for something a little different! A Ref 800.26.5 with a Cal 26.5 (c. 1926) beating inside! Apart from a small hairline on the enamel/porcelain dial, it is in fantastic condition, with a fully spelled "Importé de Suisse" below and hallmarked silver case! Beyond excited to start my journey with Omega with this killer piece!

Quickly (ASAP etc!) @dillymikes, change the title of your thread to "My First Omega Ever", or else this will develop into a discussion as to exactly when Omega became officially recognised as a watch brand.

Probably down to the month, or the day, or even the minute (You know how the Swiss are about time).

It's just what we do here.
