Hi all, I've been floating around these forums for a bit and finally took the plunge. Although I'm not a stranger to watches and have been a member on other watch forums for quite some years. In the respect of this forum and its administrotor/mods I thought I would politely ask if would be OK to seek some advice from someone that maybe able to help please? I didn't want to just rock up 1st post and post a help thread, as I have seen many a one post wonder elsewhere. Thanks Ticker
Welcome! In general, we like to help others with their finds/watches/questions. Pls allow for some read-up for posting on the Vintage-part of the forum and you are good to go! https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-omega-posting-guide.383/ Cheers W
Welcome to the forums! I think the fact that you took the time to set an avatar already moves you out of the one hit wonder category. As mentioned, feel free to fire away with questions, lots of good and knowledgeable people around here.
Thanks to all for replies. I recently got a UK SMPc secondhand 212.30.41.20.03.001 dated June 2016 and noticed that wording on the deployment is different to all other examples of the watch that I've seen. I have box, pictograms card, warranty card and all the other bits that you'd expect. However, any other examples have been slightly older models (2015) which have a 3rd line saying "Swiss Made". There also isn't a red dot on the case back. I have uploaded a picture for you all to see. Can anyone confirm that this is correct, just for peace of mind.
I don't have access to all the Omega online resources, but this thread would indicate it's OK http://forums.watchuseek.com/f319/fs-omega-smp-ceramic-bracelet-1515-816-a-3088106.html And welcome
I can't see it either, but he says he got the 1515/816 bracelet off a modern ceramic SMP, so if it looks the same as yours, I'd say you were good to go. It's not definitive, but it's evidence.
Thanks Mouse, I see what you mean. My only worry is that when I search 1515/816 in Google images, every single picture shows the 3 line Swiss made example. Is there anyone who has a very recently issued example, or has access to one that could help put my mind at ease? Please
