This is the first Omega watch I bought and got restored and I simply just love it.

Well here goes........First attemt

Siggi

 

The newest addition to my small collection

 

What did restored involve on this one.

Nice shot

 

Just overall cleaning as well as a new strap

 

Looks very good - what is your setup?

 

nice shots! and great looking pieces you got there, what reference is the second one?

 

Thank you, Canond 6D with 100 macro

 

Thank you . What do you mean referance ?

 

model number, usually found inside the case back..

 

Thanks ! I need to spend some more time and play around with the camera... damn, need to find some time for that as well

 

Did you tether you camera to your computer to try to control focus?

 

To make it look sharper try to set it at F8 and see the difference?

 

I believe this is the gold plated version of the Seamaster Compressor ref.166.042.

In response to this thread's headline I will add one or maybe two of my first watch photos

 

Nice shots! I like where you are heading with your collection. My first "real" watch was a polar Explorer II...wish I still had that watch...SMH!

 

Sorry to hijack, and I hope I'm not being rude. Adjusting white balance on your first image (setting neutral grey to the background, in this case) will probably bring things into a more accurate temperature overall. That's the only change I made. You didn't ask... so again, hope this wasn't rude to do. Cheers!

 

Hi! Looks great to me
I did not have any day light bulbs around at that time, so the image got all yellow from 'normal bulb light'
Thank you for the tip

 

There are far much better picture than my first ones..to be honest I have a macro objective and my pictures look worst..
