Here's another unicorn from my files, Bill.


From a Sotheby's auction back in 2012. Cal 343 with reportedly an extract from Omega(!).

Notice how the minute hand is strategically placed over the ending of 'Chronometre'.

 

Here is my newest acquisition, ref. 2517 with two tone dial and cal. 352. They usually come with 1/5 seconds graduations but this one is imo much more uncommon. Only few of them can be found online. Really love how it turned out and definitely a keeper!

 

Gorgeous. Impossible to find anything aesthetically wrong with this watch.

 

Thanks Bob! It really has that wow factor.

 

Movement

 

I think I hate all of you,, and my thanks to everyone on this form for making me feel like a “second class” collector. Not really. Love the watches, I guess I just have to off load my non Omegas, and start some serious hunting.

 

Definitely crown of the collection

 

And by the way, here's something I've been wondering for years. Why does autocorrect want to change "Seamaster" to "Seamster". "Seamster" isn't a real word ... or is it?

 

Because we all read it like somewhere on the internet and the 'RG' adds a certain je ne sais quois , a certain mystique that non 352RG owners hope one day to aspire to

 

It sure is a real word, said the dane

Sorry these are only 354s.

 

Isn't it the male version of seamstress

 

It's an example of state-of-the-art machine learning. Someone once wrote hamaster, instead of hamster, and the rest is history.

 

Seamster make sense....

 

Will you accept me into the Seamaster 352Rg club ?

 

Nice strap! Watch is ok too

 

Thanks. I'll also add Connie 2648, cal 352Rg on the blue strap
