A question for all of you, Omega Lovers, about the 1938 Pilot watch
4 or 5 years ago, I saw this watch, A replica of a Pilot watch, which was introduced in the " Museum Collection " .
I made some searches, and was amazed by the rarity of the original model, which looks a lot like this Re Edition.
But I'm not an expert, so I don't know if I hunt at the good places.
Is this watch really scarce?
Are there any tips, or things to check and avoid when you " fall " on such a piece?
Any info about tghe Vintage Omega Pilot watch?
Thanks a lot in advance for your infos and advices.
Best,
Nicolas

We had one already in a thread
Hi Nicolas, I showed one of these rare beasts in a former thread: http://omega.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-677/pi-2587261/ti-431006/s-0/ Have a look! They are very scarce meanwhile and the prices have gone through the ceiling after the Omegamania ...
Yes, this one!
A fantastic piece, indeed. One of the nicest Vintage Pilot watch, IMO, with the Longines, and the JLC Mark 11. As for patience, you're absolutely right, and patient I am... With this kind of piece, at least. Thanks, my friend, for your help. Best, Nicolas
These are gorgeous watches
Love the pilot style, part of what attracted me to the more recent Dynamic. This was truly beautiful.
Nicolas, i had the museum edition, but i dont think i've ever seen more than 2 originals
they are very rare indeed. the slightly more common model is the one with long crown stem that is often seen in the books. i've got no pic of that i'm afraid. i bought all the museum pieces from 2001-2005 in the misguided belief that they might possibly b...
I saw them in the Omegamania catalogue, Graham
But never in the flesh. What I know is that this Beast had an important size for this era ( 41 mm ). Will follow your advice, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks, Mrsnak
Yep, one of the most appealing Omega, to me. I may consider the re edition, but the original is another league ( of interest and beauty). Best, Nicolas
