Ok so I've really mostly collected chronos and dive watches, not bothered about anything for "good"
Slight change of focus recently, with not 1 but 2 slim Omegas, both very comfortable on the wrist, both a better match for a "dress up" occasion.
The Connie I've had for 15 years, just got Simon Freese to service it and I added a couple of links.
The 2505 "Jumbo" came from my good friend Roberto at VWC Ltd in London.
Comments very welcome.

1947 2505-30 cal 263

1968 Constellation automatic cal 751

 

First one had a nicely balanced dial.

 

Very nice 2505. Don't know what the Constellation is but it's not a 751!

 

Really like the first one.....

 

first watch is lovely!

 

First watch is nice but looks redial to me.

 

Dibs on the 2505 (if it's not a redial)!

Very nice Colin

 

They are both beauties, each a brilliant representation of the aesthetic of its era! Wear them in good health!

 

Nice looking pieces Colin!

I was looking at a 1940s Omega Dress watch some time ago and was told by a few experts on here that pre 1960s the dial should not say swiss made on it.

 

2505 really nice, I have been looking at modern and vintage watches lately with the sub dial in this fashion and really like. Now I have a vintage target to look for. more pics please!!

 

who were the experts who told you this BS?

I like the first one as well and would be happy to wear it. Enjoy.

Always good when Hoipolloi gets involved as he has eyes like a hawk with the experience to match. Took me a few minutes to dredge this out of my memory and find it but always worth bearing in mind.
