Omega - Completely unfamiliar with this reference . . .

Completely unfamiliar with this reference . . .

. . . until just now. I'm aware of later jumbos, but this one's a head-scratcher.

My hunch is it doesn't fetch the lower end of the estimate. Please give us an update when the auction's over.

Cordially,

In my last post, I expressed my interest in a new version of the iconic Railmaster... Here is yet another old Omega, which heretofore I was completely unfamiliar, but think it is superb... a sector dial time only Omega, dateless and manual wind, from 1939...

Yeeessssssss

Sector dial with sub-seconds and without a date window, in an SS case? Yeah, it\'s safe to say I just might be interested! Best E.

I am with you, here! [nt]

Ah, my friend...

Are you willing now to consider a sector dial with sub-seconds? ;-) Best, E.

Yes, the symmetry and simplicity make for a perfectly balanced piece. Why don't more contemporary watches understand this equation? [nt]

Exactly!! [nt]

Makes me wonder who all these companies rely upon for their "market research"... All I know is that I have never been asked to participate in a watch manufacturer focus group!!! [nt]
