Yeah nor Nay?

 

The strap looks great, if that's what your asking....

 

1039 or 1171 SS strap......IMO

 

Hi

Sorry , but not a combination that works for me....try a nato , tropic , Sharkskin or an original Semi-expandable bracelet.

I like that very much... ... groovy !!!

In the other hands, I'm used to wear this...



... so take my opinion for what it's worth

(I'll take no responsability for any eyes damage )

 

While they are nice straps (first one is very noice) they don't suit that watch.

It needs a mesh.

Or to match it's looks as a vintage tool watch, a suitably dirty distressed NATO.

 

Not for me i'm afraid - wouldn't do if we all liked the same
I alternate between these two,

This beauty of yours will go with virtually anything. However, I would prefer a black leather-band or a genuine shark-skin.

Thank-you.

 

Nay. Maybe an orange Isofrane if you want some color?

 

Not my thing but wear whatever makes you happy. If you're looking for a correct bracelet, Flame has a 1039 for sale at the moment. Highly recommended seller.

 

Usually black & orange is fine by me, but something just doesn't look right about that combo. Maybe if there was some orange on the dial & bezel it would look better. A black strap with beige stitch (to match the numbers' patina) might be really cool.

 

Hi Roger

That's a very nice comment - Thank you !

The 1039/516 is now Sold to a fellow forum member....but I do have another suitable Omega Semi-expandable bracelet if anyone is interested - PM directly please.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I agree that something is off with the combo. I do have the original steel bracelet and a few NATOs (which is what I mainly use). I was looking for something different, a bit dressier. I'll probably keep it on my NATO for now.

I figured the watch is a '64, would you agree?

 

Hi Ferik

Could be....what's stamped on the inside of the caseback & movement serial number is ?

Lovely watches....

Best - Neil

 

I don't know. I don't have tools to unscrew the caseback...yet.

 

A cheap sticky ball may be the best first attempt, no risk of damage.

 

As long as there isn't any enamel on a caseback medallion.

 

On a black Hirsch Medici.
