On the suggestion of @Bill Sohne how about we have a thread on these under appreciated, Gerald Genta designed chronometers? I’ll kick things off! I picked up this 168.029 with a cal. 751 inside, out of an auction last year, took it to STS for a service, and some links, wore it a handful of times, and then needed funds to pay for boring things, so off it went to live with @Tiger8888. I kinda regretted this, but nerds must. This week I picked up this 168.017 from a couple of fuzzy eBay pictures. I called in to see Tony at STS today, and am pleased to report that it contained a dirty, if untouched cal. 564. It’s booked in for a full service, and gentle case refinish to bring it back to tip-top shape. So those are mine (for now) - let’s see what you’ve got ladies and gents!
Hi @tyrantlizardrex Super cool!!! thanks ... my steel 751 says hi I cant find my big pics.... and I have a gold one too boot ! Good Hunting Bill
Here’s my grandfather’s current daily driver! After trying it out the other night I’ve gotten an itch for one
That gold one @Bill Sohne - WOW! Is this the model that gets referred to as the “deluxe”? Gold everything...
You know .... I just remembered it being refered to as the "c" watch .. aka 1000$ at one point... I remember gettting this from a pawn broker... told me the seller traded it in for a Rolex datejust ! hahahahaha Go figure best bill
join the club, I was not clear about buying a watch from him and I lost a killer DS-2.... augh great seller and collector for sure @peatnick Bill
Hey, Here is my 18k gold one. It has a different bracelet. What do you think about the condition? The seller made an over 1000€ revision at Omega Regards
I kick myself for selling this one Somehow told myself one grey dial C was enough . . . Kept this for the spider web
Dammit guys, you're really trying to make me spend a day moving photos from Photobucket to Imgur, aren't you?
The old taunting game, eh? Are you gonna double dog dare me next? My biggest problem is remembering how many C-cases I used to own.
I use to have one of those! They wear very comfortably. It was in my early days of collecting and sold it to my friend for just 450$..... Wish I knew OF back then...
There was a time less than a decade ago that you could get really nice examples for that money. With original bracelets they were under $600.
