Feeling Bond today ...
Art,
Don't ask me why, but I like this watch very much.
Had two or three but I let it go.
To get this one, full set, was a hunt of years.
Now, it belongs to the keepers side.
Cheers,
Nilo
Ω Tuesday . . .
. . . starts now, folks. Please share the Omega . . . . . . you're wearing today. Still enjoying the Dennison for another day or two, then she's off to slumber in the safe deposit box. Cordially, Art...
No Omega on my wrist today but....
If OK, I like to join in the fun! Best Blomman ...
Whoever coined the phrase "Sunday fun day" . . .
. . . forgot about "Omega Tuesday" ;-) . . . ...

One of my cousins owns the very same blue Bond . . .
. . . which he wears practically every day. He was a parole agent for many years, and had a few adventures with the SM on his wrist. One day, he got a call that one of his 'clients' violated parole, and rushed to the scene of the crime in his Dodge Hemi C...
The only Omega I have in my collection. Hope it will be ok for you ;-)

Omega has made tens of millions of watches . . .
. . . over the decades. Surely, there's one for you somewhere! Hopefully, Art
Manhattan today
2003 Manhattan This Manhattan was bought last year because it ticked a box placed in my brain by Omega’s then 1998 sports watch brochure I still have. More rounded and appealing to me than the original 1980’s Manhattan inception; this one also has a blue ...
I was taken by the latest version . . .
. . . but would similarly appreciate a more diminutive version sans date. And agreed the integrated bracelet fits like a glove. As for the ~ '06 movement production number in a watch retailed late '03, that is a bit of a surprise. Besides backdating by a ...
Ref 1502400 2003 anomaly question
The 80 serial number is engraved on the exterior case back, as I understand was normal. It is also printed on the international warranty card and on the chronometer certificate together with the reference 15024000 on both. The warranty has the printed nam...
My apologies, Clive - I thought you were referring . . .
. . . to a movement serial number. Please check your pm's. Thanks, Art
New to your collection? . . .
. . . I thought the only resident Omega in chez Cazalea was an early '60s clam-shell dial SM. Needless to say, I'm thrilled!
Why Art, your memory must be slipping
Chez Cazalea is currently housing the one you referred to, shown here in an abalone shell, the pocket watch De Ville from last week Today's bumper-wind gold watch from Grandpa Carl and my f300 on mesh and I am in line for Grandpa Roy's 20-year service awa...
Yes, ~ '55 Dennison case . . .
. . . in 9 kt yellow gold. Transitionals are finally getting the attention they deserve from Omega collectors. Congrats on the score! Art ...
You're a braver man . . .
. . . than I! Jeez, I don't even like changing straps, much less diving into movements. Cal 711? Art
Thanks for that :)
Here's the results, Sorry for my bad photo, taken with my phone The thing is... It's even more fun with a vintage omega calibers than the recent ones, no manual on the Internet, nothing, just pure intuition Yep, it's cal. 711, pretty challenging with its ...
Intriguing pent roof onyx markers . . .
. . . which I've come across before, but this may be the first time seeing them on a frosted gold dial. Thanks for sharing! Cordially, Art
