·A C-Case meetup in Boston. Me on the left and @masteroftime on the right. Watches are not in focus but a gray dial .029 - a green dial .017 - a purple/grey dial .017 and his white gold .009 on wrist
We originally got acquainted from the forum as he was seeking a gray dial and he's been my closest collector friend since

Such a blast! Thankful for this forum and the great friendship that it has fostered.
Thankful but less thankful for the vintage watch addiction…

·Okay, I'll play too...
Here's my two - Dad's SS 168.029 from 1968, I think, which inspired me to the quest for gold.
Picked up this 18k pink gold example from a boutique seller in Munich about 20 years ago (168.029 BB).
Always fascinated with the different alloys used for yellow, pink, rose, red, white, etc...
Thought I was just going to just get the watch, but it arrived with some other cool stuff too!
Apologies for the quick and dirty phone pics.
I love Omega Forums - so much expertise and good will.
Cheers,
Dan

··Sunburst dial fanThis watch really has been a labour of love.
I paid what I then thought was a comparatively reasonable price for it although, with hindsight I now realise was probably more than the watch was worth given it’s subsequent journey.
With the help of @kaplan I sourced more appropriate hands and paid to have them fitted and the watch (which ran well) serviced.
Latterly, I’ve had the date wheel and the auto-return wheel (?) replaced.
If I’d known what this watch was going to involve (and cost) I wouldn’t have bought it. (Although I was able to sell the incorrect hands)
That said, it’s been a journey that has bonded me to this particular watch.

·Awesome looking watches!
Here's my best find of 2025 - still in its raw form, going to install a NOS crystal when I can
I did a big mistake in 2025 and collected 20 or so Cal 23.7 watches, learned my lesson to only stick to C-Case's 😀 It's so hard to go for crystals in varying sizes. I am hoping to sell all of them and buy 1 more C-Case with the proceeds 😁
