Nice ....,, dibs on waffle and ivory dials

 

Just picked this one up recently, 2853/2853 case. At the watchmaker for a service.

 

Nothing looks better than a mirror dialed connie ... Nicely done

 

Nice pick-up Todd!

 

Thanks guys, now I just have to do the impossible and find a flat link gold bracelet

 

1963 Stainless steel Constellation, 167.005 case and a cal 551. Bought this and had it serviced and I am now scared to wear it in case damage it! might have to sell it on and go back to a cheaper watch I don't care so much about. This is by far the nicest I have owned.

 

Best of luck!

 

Thats gorgeous watch Kyle...Keep me in the Dibs list even if the list is long.

 

I have shown this watch earlier. It belongs to a friend of mine. I have a plan... and I am working on it regularly. It is just a matter of time. I am wearing him down slowly.



Just so no one should feel sorry for my friend - yesterday he wore three watches during the day (special occasion).
The other two were:

 

So this is my first vintage Omega I ever bought around a year ago now, and this is the first picture I think I posted on the forum to show it off! It's quite rare that I get a chance to show too much.........

It's a 1966, Cal 564


And again on its BOR........

 

Here are my Jumbo Cal 561 Ref 14777s, produced mainly for the Japanese market and the forerunner to the 168.001. Desmond recently wrote about this reference in his blog.

 

I wish I had a friend like that... That would be a real Grail.

 

And here are my Japan-only 168.0065s in SS and gold-plated versions

 

Very nice So many variations on OF!!!!

With so many questions on what looks great to buy ( or good ), HOPE is these pics are helpful.

Keep adding your vintage constellations

 

Does your 551 have the in-range serial number?

 

Adam - Just love the 2852.

All are beautiful examples

 

Cue my lynching for daring to show off a quartz Constellation or two
