Hi Guys,

Looking to get my grubby hands on a Dressings Catalogue but need to better understand what I'm looking for. I see folks listing them on eBay and most listings are for more than one year catalog. Does each catalog go back in time to the same point or are do they only go back a set number of years? What I mean is if someone is listing both a 1976 and a 1982 catalog will the 1982 catalog have everything the 1976 catalog has with just the addition of the 1977-82 stuff? If I'm looking for info on watches made in 1969 thru 1975 can I get any Dressings Catalogue printed after 1975 or do they only go back 5 or 10 years, or such? Makes me wonder why anyone would want earlier catalogs if the latest one has all that info already in it.

thanks,
bob

I have no idea what a dressings catalogue is. Some people call turkey stuffing “dressing”, and they are just wrong. Anywho, this might be of interest http://www.old-omegas.com/

Hi Dave,

The Dressings Catalogue lists the part numbers for case components by Omega's reference numbers. I've not seen one in person, so it may have other info too..........but they're very handy to have around to look up part numbers for crystals, gaskets, crowns, casebacks, etc.

regards,
bob

Dressing and stuffing are two different things - one is made inside the bird and the other is not.

I have the 2005 edition but no other years to compare it to. I have used it to look up models from the1970s and 1980s such as the Teutonic Speedmaster, Teutonic Mark V, and the Equinoxe so it does go back some years.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking they each only go back a set amount of years, otherwise why would sellers try to sell 2 or 3 different year catalogs together if you'd only need the latest one to cover everything made up to that point? But it sounds like yours goes back far enough for me, so I appreciate the info and know any catalog made after my watches were made up to 2005 will work!
