    My second omega. OMEGA Seamaster 60 166.062. 565 cal movement. Watch hands are in need of a nice set of NOS (currently ordered from omega 5-6 week wait). Dial is mint. Case could use a refinish (but I like the wear it shows well). The bracelet is a NOS 1098-540 from a watchmakers estate sale. NOS crystal. What are your thoughts?

    Also have a question can I use polywatch on the bakelite bezel? There are very minor scratches to the bezel.

    Nice watch. I am assuming you shot these with your phone? If I may, I would suggest moving the phone back to allow the face of the watch to come into focus. Thanks!

    Lovely Watch! Is your bezel black or burgundy?

    Here is one that sold a year or so ago at an Auction for $4000 plus premium. (Antiqurorum i think, or Christies). Any way a hell of a price, especially when you look at the bezel, wrong crown, and throw away strap. Now it lacks the "60" that yours has, but I doubt that makes any difference to the value, unless there is something I am missing.

    Here are two of mine on contemporary straps:

    Thanks so much I love these watches and seem to be very hard to come by sometimes. Your examples are lovely. Mine is burgundy bezel. I also have a 1960's tropic strap 22504 19mm (curved at the ends). Hard to believe the one above went for $4000 :confused:
