But I hope you'll like it. Here it is :

Found it at a Watch fair this Week end. Rather good condition and heavy (4kg...)

 

Looks so great and suits you! Definitely a contender for new avatar!

 

i had a few of these over the years. that shape and oblong shape as well. rectangular from turkey. great pieces ! kind regards. achim

 

Are you sure that cable is strong enough to take the weight of the sign Yann?

 

How big is that? I imagine it is rather large, given the weight. Good buy.

 

Very fun piece!

 

very cool stuff, thanks for sharing

 

That wire & the fixings look like the static rigging hardware from a small/medium dinghy to me. Well up to the job.

I might want something of greater section on a Sydney Harbour 18ft Skiff though



.... and something over 40 years off my age before I get aboard one of those

 

It is 80 X 45cm.

 

I must admit I may have taken some margin. But it is a rare oversized jumbo cable...

 

1930's? It will look great in the parlor.
A giant sign for a giant collection and an enormous heart!
Who shares with others more than Yann?

 

Cool find!

 

Thanks a lot for the compliment. Omega was already a great brand before the Seamaster - Constellation - Speedmaster era. I wish more people had interest in pre-1950 watches. There is very limited, and less and less information available, probably because of this lack of interest. For me it is important to collect and share the very small amount of info I have on this period.

 

My two trusted references for early Omegas, AJTT and AYFTA (Ask Yann For The Answer).

 

Oh no you don’t, believe me. Beautiful find! Wish I could have been there!
