Wow...
I never knew that I posted this much ever since I was a member in this forum...
But eversince I was in high school, I discovered this forum until I finally brave myself to join.
And surprisingly, it's good to know that all the people here are friendly and supportive, especially when it's time to educate each other as a watch collector (or WIS even? 😂).
I'm glad that I found this forum and everyone taught me enough about the field that I'm working on right now. And yeah, sharing our passion without the worry being bullied like what I've seen in another forum. All these experiences are very meaningful to me.

I'm sorry that I've been busy with works and everything lately, so I can't be here online like the way I was (like, literally everyday I was here to discover something new until I got to work).

So without further a do, I want to share with you guys the watches that are somehow pretty hard to find. And please do share yours as well!

Here's a Seamaster ref 2657 with cal 344, equipped with such amazing dial in tip top condition,

And here's the rarely seen in this forum, an automatic Constellation Manhattan equipped with straight lug, cal 1111,

Well, those might be not that much compared to the collection that you guys have, but please share yours as well. Perhaps I'll see something new again in this forum.
Thank you guys.
Best regards,
Jev

Key Points from the Discussion

Many collectors shared their own vintage black-dialed Omega watches, including various Seamaster and Constellation models, highlighting the diversity and appeal of these pieces.
The Omega Dynamic with a black dial is presented as another example of a vintage black-dialed Omega, alongside the author's Seamaster and Constellation Manhattan.
The author's Seamaster ref. 2657 is particularly praised for its uncommon reference and perfect black waffle dial, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors.
Additional vintage black-dialed Omega watches shared include a Constellation ref. 2652 with a cal. 354 bumper movement from 1953 and a CK2444 with a cal. 30T2 RS movement and M.o.D dial from circa 1945.
A vintage Omega ref. 2242 from circa 1944, originally destined for Brazil and fitted with a rare 18-jewel 30T2SC movement, is showcased as another example of a black-dialed Omega.
Collectors are advised to be cautious when searching for vintage black-dialed Omegas due to the prevalence of redials and modified versions in the market.

Here’s a black dial Omega Dynamic (also the white & blue versions). Love your Seamaster - fantastic dial & incredible condition! The Manhattan is intriguing and lovely too. All the best. Giles

. . . that's an Omega I'd love to have. Uncommon reference, and to have a perfect black waffle dial - wow! A few black Omegas in my collection, including a '57 ref 2852 . . . . . . and a '56 ref 2849. Thanks for being a valued member of our community, Jev - it's always a pleasure to see your contributions. Warmest, Art
