I bought this watch about 20 years ago from a guy in Canada. Don't remember what I paid, but not a lot. It's clean, keeps time accurately, and is the answer to my unaffordable yen for a Rolex 6694.

 

It's probably a Re-dial, and one hand has been replaced, but I like it a lot. The feel of the bumper at work is a friendly mechanical sensation... It's from 1955, cal. 354, chronometer grade (from Mr. Diethelm (sic) at Omega, only 33mm across, and really comfortable to wear.

thanks for lookin'

Next stop, authentic dial and bracelet

 

Yeah, I knew the dial was a ringer, and the bracelet is from my "accessories" drawer. I often wear it on a strap, and don't think I can afford to source the proper bracelet.
Thanks for the reply.

Omega beads of rice bracelets can be found for about $200

 

Would anyone like to give me reference numbers to chase?

 

Sad redial.

I find the bracelet way more interesting than the watch. Please post some picture of it instead

 

Keep 'em coming, marturx...I don't mind your senseless vitriol.

 

I mean it. The bracelet is interesting. Pls post pictures of it.

Looking at my request again, I don't find it senseless, just curious

 

You don't really need a ref no for the beads of rice bracelets. Just search eBay for 'Omega Beads of Rice' and set up a saved search. They pop up in auction every few weeks. Furthermore, some don't have a ref no.

If you search in this forum there are several threads discussing these bracelets.

 

I have one. If you're interested, PM me.

 

I think Desmond's blog (someone posted a link To it in your Connie thread) has an article on there. You can get them new from Otto frei for about $300 I think also
