Yeah, boy! Dig that Bulova Marine Star too.

I don't own any black dialed vintage Omegas anymore, but the ones I did sure had that certain something.

Very cool to see some lovely aged and/or patinated watches in here!
Having developed an allergy towards "NOS stuff" I am very happy when I can find something where time has done its best.
Perhaps my favorite? Omega Geneve cal 266. Reminds me of the clear skies on an arctic winter night.

And there are other well aged ones as well. A few below:

Excellent set 👍

The G.S 24h dial is missing though 😉

Reminds me of this spare dial I have:

Call it patina, wabi, heavy wear or whatever but I like how this one aged. Probably not for everyone though.

Northernman · Mar 20, 2016

Forgot about this favourite.

And of course there is also heavy duty patina. Aka damage......

Thank you! I've parted with them since, and it's a decision I tend to regret... oh well, such is life.

Here's an Omega of a dear friend which was so kind that he borrowed it to me for a week. Needless to say, it was a fun week 😉.
