    A few times a day, my Omega pretends to be a Meistersinger

    I need to brush up on my German. Meistersinger? Maybe a dumb question!

    Cool dial. Looks like woods grain - is that right?

    I just realized I should have been wearing GOLD...

    ...since Dahlonega in Georgia was the location of America's first gold rush in 1828...

    ...next time!

    Not a dumb qn at all! Meistersinger is known for making single-hand watches, hence the little joke about the 3 overlapping hands on my AT.

    ::facepalm2:: Of course! I did notice the hands were stacked, but I didn't know about Meistersinger. That phenomenon could happen 24 times in a day. Nice watch. Thanks

    Greetings from the Big hot & humid Apple! I know these 7750 buff rigs aren't the most popular kids in class which is one of the many reasons I like 'em.

    If you have one for sale or know of one for sale or trade por favor point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    From 1937, by the movement SN (26.5 SOB). The dial does look mint. It was one of my earlier Omega purchases. If it's a refinished dial (it could be I suppose), it was done really well, fonts, printing of the minute tracks and subseconds chapter. But it is nonluminous, so probably less aging would be expected.

    The case looks terrific and I love the perfect pigskin strap.

    BTW - when did you decide to purchase EVERY Rolex BubbleBack in the world? It's downright maniacal and I like it...

    I completely agree. It's a great effort and all, but the price may be a little to much in my book. Later on that trip I returned to my watch:
