do what I did and end up with 3

 

I went day date, as not too many watches have it.
The price of the equivalent Rolex Day-Date from the same era is enormous in comparison.

Also all knurled bezels on the C-case are white gold, the smooth is steel.

The internal cyclops is also a fun option, but quite rare.

I ended up with this:

 

Also, 1040 bracelet vs 1172?

 

Here's an incredible time capsule complete set on the 'bay:

1040 if you can get a clean one, can't remember the ref on mine now. It's neither of those two.

 

Comaprison with Rolex Day-Date form the same era:

 

Trying to decide between these 2:

 

Wow!...they look the same size although the Rolex is 36 and the Omega is 34.5

 

By the way, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you all!

 

Same here, on both counts. I don't care for day/dates in general, but I'd make an exception for the grey Connie-C.

Don't know how I missed this thread...a couple of recent acquisitions to post:

 

I have the day/date one and it’s an absolute favorite!

 

I'm a fan of the date only, but both are beauts!

 

Ok, can we please clarify the distinction between the different reference numbers?
168.029: day and date, fluted bezel
168.019: day date with smooth bezel
168.027: date only with fluted bezel
168.017: date only with smooth bezel

 

also 168.009 (sometimes double stamped with 168.017), first reference of the c-case that I think only had the smooth bezel and caliber 561.

and I don’t if you want to include the later 168.0056 with cal 1011.

 

I’m fond of watches in pillow/ C cases.
Have vintage IWC, Ulysse Nardin and this Omega 168.017

 

I think the bezels are white gold, or they are on the women's version, so potentially more expensive, more to go wrong with a 751 but it is an Omega at peak Omega quality in the late 60's so its choice really. Shame there was not a non date version in the C case connie, the 712 is very much thinner

 

Yeah, I wonder what the difference is between 168.017 and 168.009?
They both have the 564 movement, but it looks like the .009's are gold?
