My three Amigos...Omigos....Omegas...agggh my spelling.

I will do a proper review of these watches in due course. The 2777-1 has already had a short review, but the 2914 Railmaster and 165014 Seamaster are newly arrived (though in the case of the 2914, purchased many months ago). I wont say that this completes my Omega theme...(Laughs everywhere....), but it is a a start down a theme that provides a very nice complement to my Rolex collection. Each watch deserves its own review....but for now, a brief glimpse of the three Amigos.
I do have a favourite!

moreover ... with a movement number in the range of 24 mill. ( watch " produced " not before 1965 ) the f..ing hour hand is correct .

I want to enphasize some points ... 1) backs were produced ouside Omega .. so a back punched " 1964 " doesn't necessary means that the watch has been " assembled " ( = produced ) in the very same year ( something we have also in Rolex watches) 2) as with Rolex .... the swap between a model ...

Very interesting, Marcello. I knew point 1, and ignored point 2.
