Im sorry..for hoarding you fall a little short..My Ed White is on the right,..underneath the..never mind..

 

I agree. That is a nice case shape. It's hard to put a finger on but it does look good.

I don't know but I guess you have every combination now.

I don't know Seamasters so well. What is the reference number so I'll know for later?

 

There are several.

Chronometer Day / Date = 168.023 (usually has the non-chronometer case reference number with this number on the inside of the caseback)
Day / Date = 166.032
Chronometer Date = 168.022
Date = 166.028

 

Just managed to get one myself last week!

 

I can't tell you how much I love your pictures and this thread. This is the true definition of a collection. Well done and thanks so much for your dedication and for the great pictures.

that's pretty awesome!

 

Still blown away by these! Having just acquired a 168.022 I'm interested to know what bracelet numbers / end links fit these. Particularly the BOR variety. By absolute chance I happened to purchase a 1098 with 540 end links that I was going to use on a cosmic and now realise this is correct for this reference - so that's a bonus!

Thanks

NUTZ! Watch poor major?

 

OMG!

I have 1 (one), s/s, of those.

Now everyone will know how sane I am

Continue to share your collection Mike. Epic posts

 

Hello @MSNWatch !

Always dreamed of owning an Omega, and on a trip to Mexico last week, I finally purchased my first one. I happened across this forum thread and think the watch I bought happens to be the one that you know the most about. I think my watch is a ref 166.032 – let me know if I'm right on that. I believe it has the wrong crown and caseback – if you happen to know the correct size crown for this model, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm sure you're pretty busy this time of year, but if you could reach out and let me know what you think about the watch, it would mean a great deal! Thank you very much in advance and all my best,

Forest

Heck!!!!!! Wow.... Nice focused collection. Wear in good health!

 

@forestcasey
I think you are not right - it is a different watch (likely a Seamaster "Cosmic") and movement is not a cal. 751 as it should

 

...You don't think that's his entire collection, do you?

 

It is one of the collections.

 

MSNWatch has a very focussed collection. It MUST be pristine. That's the criterion.

 

The last 3 actually don"t belong to the above case style. He's not hoarded enough for the group shot then. And there's no non-chronometer in there.

 

Please explain what you're saying.

The 166.032 with the caliber 750 or 752 is the non-chronometer version of the 168.023 caliber 751 - I know because I've owned both.

The last two are the 56x versions - chronometer having the caliber 564.

 

The last 3 watches in Mike's group shot are of very different case style with ref. 168.024 - so he hasn't hoarded enough of the 168.022/023 case style you referred to. And his group shot only includes chronometer watches, so your non-chronometer references don't apply there.

 

I was answering ossfm about what the reference number - he seemed to think there was only one so I let him know the 4 different numbers for the same style case. We're thinking along different lines. No worries though.

 

Hey, @mac_omega – very much appreciate your response, and with all due respect, I'm not sure if you're right either. If it was indeed a Seamster Cosmic, wouldn't the dial read "cosmic"? I've attached a better image of my watch (left) vs. a Cosmic I found for sale on eBay – looks like they have different dials, hands, markers, date window, and case shapes. Would anyone else have an idea what my ref number would be? Thanks very much in advance.
