Mine is hands down the 2913...this 2913-3 was born in 1959 and originally sold in Italy.

What is your favorite reference?

The ones posted above are fantastic.

They fit right in with my response, which is whatever Gbesq owns.

Exhibit A.

For more evidence, see the WRUW today thread.

Why thank you! Here are a few others from my collection, but I’m a novice compared to many other OF members. My favorite? Probably the 2990 Ranchero, but I’m a fan of just about all 1950’s Omega references.

I like the classic connie 168.005 and the automatic omega 166.002 for daily wear. Not rare ref or anything but i've always had good experience with these...feel good to wear and are a perfect fit for me wrist.

My favorite?

Pick a 2852, any 2852.

My humble example.
