Had to think twice about this one. I think the model is called Branchard , with an R.

I think we both spelled it wrong... it's "brancard". The reference is a 971, the case is flared with two tone 14kt white and yellow gold. The case is actually large for the era, measuring 43 by 34mm. Sorry for the poor image.

Then again... consider this auction at Christie's where it's spelled..."blancard" ??? Two out of three say it's brancard.

Birth year: 1962 Omega 14391



Refinished, damaged and may not be worth much except for huge sentimental value, my late father’s wedding gift from my mother. Late 40’s/early 50’s GP.


My Dad’s early 60’s Gruen (not sure what year)



Made in birth year (does that count?) 1963 Seamaster 30 - 135.003-62

Does it run? If so, it deserves a strap. A beauty, refinished or not.

My birthyear watch, and coincidentally, also my favorite. From 1957, so I have younger and older watches.

Oh yes! Agree. It’s on a strap now!

From around the time I was born, give or take a year. Including all the older ones would just be too much work. 😁

My birthyear as well -- Congrats! it's not easy finding an Omega with serial number from that year in good condition and well priced. I continue my search 👍.

Most of them.

My definition of vintage is something that is older than I am.

My first watch ever (just recovered it from an old drawer at my mom’s house)-


Planing on renewing it and give it to my son as his first watch when he’s a bit older.

And my first Omega-


Gifted to me by my dad after it has not been in use for a few decades, I got it back to working order and it was this watch who really gave me the bug.
