Hi

I have posted here a few times already, but I haven't said hi yet, so here I am.

Go myselves a nice pie pan a few days ago. Pretty chuffed with it. A few specs on the dial, and the case looks pretty unpolished. Case ref 14393-61.







The 561 movement looks pretty clean as well:



I have a few other Omega as well mostly hummers, will post more later if anyone's interested in "newer" stuff.

I have a question though; what crown did this originally come with, the ten sided, unobtainable one?

cheers,

Ketil

 

Very nice! The correct crown could be the ten sided or this...

Mine is a 14381 with a 551 movement and not much earlier serial number...some more knowing member will chime in with the correct information.

 

Nice dial!

Crown should be the ten-sider, or for some US examples where OXG is stamped on the movement the bowler hat crown was sometimes used.

Cheers

Thanks Hijak and Desmond.

Where do you normally get a ten sided crown, ebay? I guess this one should be correct: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-pla...451?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53efa26b23Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Whether it's genuine or not is hard to tell.

 

Yep, 2mm pipe size is correct. Hard to tell from the pics if the crown is genuine.

Cheers

Very nice, I think I need to get one like this too at some point...SS, 18k/SS or 18k, that is the question ;-)
