Hi all,

The best christmas presents are those which I buy for myself as then I will receive what I really long for...

I am a sucker for fancy lugged watches and especially for rectangular ones.
The icing on the cake is when they additionally have swivel lugs like the ones below.


I call them 3 claws swivel lugs.
The left one I had aleady in my collection and as the one on the right showed up I had to go for it.
While the left is completely in yellow gold the right one is dual-coloured yellow + white gold accents as the claws.
It is hard to capture in the photo, so I have marked the parts in question with red dots.
Now I have the different siblings... 馃槈

Be assured it reads Omega, its just the compression of the photo. This is a very old script used only on early watches around 1920 - 1930
