Thanks a lot for all the compliments guys! I will forward them to my watchmaker. It's nice when putting faith in someone's craftsmanship and skills pays off 馃榾.

Indeed it is BUT it's not so nice when it doesn't pay off, as happened to me once and I ended up with a badly polished watch. 馃檨

Sad to hear. People sometimes overestimate their abilitys. He shouldn't accepted the task to polish your watch in the first place.

That is fantastic! I love the mellow colour on the hands and indices.

Great job, great thread.

I'm digging these chunky Omega Quartz monsters.

Thanks a lot again guys, I realy appreciate it! Wearing this watch fills me with joy. And it also got me looking for other chunky/boxy Omegas, I feel this style is greatly under appreciated at the moment, which in retourn is a good thing as prices are on the low. I'm now looking at late cal. 1011 constellations. Just something about the sharp edged design and integrated bracelet that talks to me. And maybe it's because I like the Genta designs so much, but an AP is far out of reach price wise.

(The one on the far right, and look what was advertised in the same catalogue back then 馃榾. )


(Credit for the catalogues goes to www.old-omegas.com , very cool page with a lot of old catalogues and manuals!)

Cheers,

Max

Bought NOS in the last millenium, still a little bit of purple snot on the back ;-)
