When you make a statement like that, I know that I don't even belong in the Casino.

路路schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorNow MWO is wrong

I don't think that strap is correct. Let me grab my book. Nope, just as I suspected, it's the wrong strap, I think the gasket for the case back is also not original. Check to see if the omega symbol on the crystal is right side up.
Teasing. You or any other newcomer to this market should do enough reading and research to familiarize yourself with the item and its value range. It's not easy, given prices are moving up quickly, and there are many variables to consider. Once you've done your due diligence, if you like the watch, buy it. It won't go down in value. And most importantly, enjoy it.
And I fear some here read the MWO book a bit too literally. The truth is, Omega often can't say with certainty that parts didn't carry over from one ref to another or that new batches weren't different. They had no reason to care if the exact parts were used on each 105.012-65. It made no difference whatsoever to them. They were making money. The watches were not built as collectibles. This is even more true as you go further back in time toward the 2915, where everyone is left to speculate. If the books says your watch should have an a2 dial but has an a1 and is off by one year....cmon.

路路Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...TLDR: what's your scholarship on these watches that allows your opinion to be more valid then the known experts on these?
Nice selection, but I'll say it again. Your making huge broad claims against people with broad scholarship on the issue who have handled hundreds if not thousands of watches and talked regularly with the curators of the inhouse Omega Museam.
You appear to be making claims that they are wrong and your collection is more correct while you have dial/hand combinations that are not generally accepted. At least this is what it appears you are saying. You also state your collection is more correct with these combos while other have collections that are above reproach with known factory combinations.
You state that watches left the factory with these non proven combos stating it's a tool watch,while dismissing the fact that many of these got altered at service as they are just tool watches.

路A mistake was made, a dial was misidentified (badly, but it happens early into collecting). Doesn't need to be a witch hunt.

路My husband is quite unhappy that I am stooping to show these as the result of childish challenges. I assured him it would be the last time.
Isn't it nice to show/share/talk about the watches you have though?
My greatest pleasure in this hobby is meeting the people behind the screen names and talking about our shared passion for the watches we have/want...

路路Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Too late. And mwo is a very good source. That's all. It is not the definitive answer to everything. Here are all but a couple of mine. My husband is quite unhappy that I am stooping to show these as the result of childish challenges. I assured him it would be the last time. This is generally a nice group, but several of you are childish jackasses.Sorry, no photo studio. And my FOIS and a few others are not shown.

路You need to read my posts. I haven't made ONE claim about the quality or correctness of my watches except to say I had not noticed incorrect movement serials in my collection. Not once. Nor do I know about a mis identified dial or witch hunt. But I am done. I've asked mr budgen to remove me. This is a terrible use of time. And tyrant lizard, you seem like a decent man. It's not about sharing. It's the obnoxious practice of whining and accusing to coerce individuals to show photos. That's pathetic. Nice group of early watches, mr ********. I dare say it rivals my husband's. Best of luck to most of you.

路Exactly the kind of post that drives people away. Whether my husband and I have no idea at any one moment how many watches we own is quite beside the point. We do have a listing of serial numbers, somewhere, not that it's any of your affair. Your subtle dig was very impressive. I asked the question because of the incessant discussion of serial numbers when I have not ever had any issues with them. Of course, I don't buy watches that appear to have multiple issues. I can't type what I'd like to add. If your goal is to drive away very serious collectors who just happen to have not cared to join a forum until recently, you're doing a great job.
(just a little attempt to lighten things up and keep it all lovely)

I can't help but think you've taken some comments the wrong way. No one has any secret agenda to coerce you into showing your watches for any nefarious means. This forum is basically a watch club and when a new collector joins who seems to know what they're talking about and shows hints of some special watches, people want to see them because they're passionate about this hobby. There's no witch hunt.
Perhaps a couple of things of started off on the wrong foot or got lost in translation? I think it'd be a shame if you left. There's a good chance you'll learn to like it here given what we've seen so far and I'm sure im not the only one who'd like to see more of your collection.

I'm not trying to fight with you, just understand/ I also think everyone else is of the same mind. It does appear that you have made those statements. Esp when you claim that you have never had a problem with missmatched serial numbers in watches, when examples pop up on ebay on a regular basis, esp in early references. You also claim to have had problems with MWO being wrong in some cases.
