Hello OF world! Hope everyone is healthy and staying positive during the pandemic.

l’m looking to window shop for an Omega to add to the collection. I love to poke around the internet and keep myself occupied while stuck at home these days. What’s a vintage piece or modern piece that’s a must own?

I currently wear:

Seamaster 120 168.088, cal 1002 (1970-ish)
Added an 1171/650 bracelet



Admiralty 136.015, cal 613 (1969)
ST42057 crown
PZ5127 crystal (still own the original crystal with mag window, but was cracked, bummer)



Seamaster 2990-1, cal 267 (1959)
PZ5005 crystal



Speedy Reduced 3510.50, cal 1143 (1990’s)



I also have previously owned another Admiralty (166.054), a Seamaster 300 (titanium, co-axial 8806), and a Railmaster Trilogy. I guess you could say my vintage Omegas get much more wrist time. My 166.054 had a cal 565 inside and I’d really like another 500 series. So I’m probably really looking for a vintage Omega with a 500 series Auto inside. What should I add to the collection? What is your favorite Omega that you would recommend? Always appreciate your advice and opinions here on the OF!

 

It's a very personal choice and depends what you're doing while you wear the watch. If I had what you've got, I'd add a gold Constellation from the 50s or 60s for dressy occassions. Or a Speedmaster Pro, if you think it's different enough from the Reduced.

 

Must De Omega of course.

 

C-cased Connie- one of the sexiest watches Omega ever made.

 

C Case Connie. 42mm 4200 PO, speedy pro

 

SM300 165.024/166.024 is the first that comes to my mind.

And as you already touched the Trilogy - how about the Trilogy Seamaster? it has a lot of CK2913 vibe but costs 1/3 of CK and is made up to the standards of the XX century.

I like that Seamaster 120 168.088

 

Hi morris. Cool collection you have there!

I would also say.. Either a piepan connie, or a c-shape connie. Specially a gold piepan connie or / and a silver dial c-shape connie would add another colour to your collection.

Best,

Rudi

 

You always need a large hippocampus caseback Seamaster

 

Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

 

Dome on dude man up you need a MOTM...

 

circa 1958.....2852......505.....in black and in this condition.

 

That is some deep shit, right there.

 

On the brick bracelet, its a winner for sure! Love the grey dial as well.

 

Black is great, and the condition is so nice!

 

Gorgeous!

Almost made it worth visiting this thread again.

And DIBS! (just in case)

 

Whichever one you like best.

 

Large Seahorse on screw case back is a must

 

This ?

 

Black and White too!!
