Actually, are you sure it's a redial? It looks ok to me but would like to see more pictures. I think I see Swiss Made hiding under the 6 marker.


It's from 1956, the "S" should still coat hanger shape eh ??

Yes, the Swiss Made hiding under the 6 hour marker

The watch was sold out.

A humble and simple little GP Seamaster Cosmic. Pretty sure I will never part with it 😀

They're cool watches. I don't blame you.

The little Geneve that got me back into Omegas. Picked up from a coin dealer off the bay (was watch head only).

My first vintage Omega purchased almost 10 years ago. I suspect that it is an early redial but still like and wear it often.

A Cosmic was my first as well. Sadly, I did part with mine.🤦

Wow, a lot of Cosmics. Calling them "starter" vintage Omegas is really true. Surprised I haven't seen more Seamaster De Villes.

My first Omega

Pretty amazed on how many members chose a Connie as their first Omega vintage watch ... I mean regarding the huge amount of franken out there...

These watches are probably the trickiest and most difficult to get... plus 34mm is not really a diameter up to date.

Surprising, really.

Mine was a redialled Seamaster..always had a thing for black dials!

That's true 👍

I like this ! And you know why! 😉 See how badly polished mine looked!? And there's me thinking vintage watches should look that shiny...maybe if they have been cocooned their entire existence!
