congrats, Erich...
... i have not had any rectangular omega so far, but i do have others, e.g. JLC and one recent GO Karree.
your rectangular omega has special charm and does attract me a lot, i would keep an eye on it too in future.
by the way, i really enjoy and almost read all of your posts because it is contented and talks no nonsense compared with other posts, LOL

Another 100
Hi friends, you know my tradition - every 100th post should show a not so common example from my collection... it is showtime again... I have realized that I have been a bit lazy since my 1K post - my apologies! Today I decided to take an uncommon piece a...
Neato!
On the new silver piece it looks like there are red numerals going down the side, "14 15 16". Any idea why it would have had military time on such a delicate piece? A
I do not think...

I remembered...

Thank you for...
Hi Stefan, thank you for your kind words. Yes, it is worth to go for rectangular Omegas - it is a wide field of collecting and there are so many different versions - if somebody loves rectangular cases in general he will find a watch which he can fall in ...
i dont think i can say any more. it has already been said
i look forward to seeing the results best G
As some of you assume this might be...
...a ladies watch - no it is not! I show you a wristshot (on my wrist not the metal lady´s one) to give you a feeling for the size It is actually 38mm long and 25mm wide without winder... hope this helps. kind regards Erich...
