I love it!
Very good post once again Erich. It is a pleasure to have you as a valuable contributing member of this forum. The watch is spectacular. You can tell it was only worn on special occasions, the case is in remarkable condition as is the movement. It must be quite a heavy watch with the bracelet. I like it with the gold bracelet, but the NOS strap looks good too - it tones it down a little . . .
Thanks for another great post Erich.

SHOWTIME again! It is time for post number 1000
Hi friends, time passes by rapidly and the number of posts approached the number 1000... So it was a tough decision where to post it - on HOME, on Patek forum (as I also love vintage PPs) or here on Omega forum... NOOO! Not really! But I think my home is ...
Salute, Erich!
Congrats on your first 1K! Looking forward to the next..! Stunning SM! Best Blomman
Damn, Erich. Another great catch!
I' m not very fan of the bracelets, but it is just me and my curious taste... I would happily wear it with a light honey croc strap. This dial is fantastic, with these heart shaped applied indexes and the honey comb " heart ". What to say, except that you...
The idea of...
Hi Nicolas, The idea of a honey colored croc strap is convincing, could look perfect... But I guess that this particular SM will be worn only on special occasions, it is not an every day watch due to it´s rarity. Thank you very much for your kind words - ...
If I had a watch like this in this same condition
I wouldn't wear it even during special occasions - one ding and value drops!
A stunning piece
Congratulations on 1,000 posts here - worth 10,000 posts in any other watch forum. That thousand number is also made more meaningful since most of your posts are substantive and educational. Wish I had a watch like that. My version - the older cousin to y...
Each of them has her ...
Mike, each of them has her merits. The cal. 352 is more beautifully executed/finished - the Cal. 501 chronometer version is more uncommon... but: both of them are beautiful. your´s is a keeper by sure! kind regards Erich
Still hope to own a version like yours someday
And you are right about the prices of vintage omegas - definitely an upward trend in terms of prices. Some underappreciated segments though where deals can still be found. I think we here at the purists are at least partly responsible for this since we ar...
Begin to love more and more of these vintage omega.
Your post certainly help a lot in the appreciation of these wonderful treasure. Congratulation on this magnificent watch. Regards Tyler
If you really...
Hi Tyler, If you really like these vintage Omegas you better start buying them soon as they are going up steadily... kind regards Erich
Thanks for the heads up, Erich
I notice the price are not the same since last year. Crazy! With any luck I might end up with a 30T2 Rg SC Regards Tyler
Absolutely gorgeous.
Fantastic condition, great dial, unusual lugs, box & papers, and with a period bracelet & strap ! A watch like this could be the centrepiece of any vintage Omega collection. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing. Look forward to the next 1000 posts. gru...
Beautiful.
Congratulations on this milestone post. Looking forward to continuing being informed and educated by your posts. Thanks Erich. Regards, Richard.
Great post 1000
Keep up the good work. I feel that the gold colored leather strap does not provide anything as far as highlighting the dial of the watch goes. Best regards, George
Congratulations..
... on your 1000post, and what posts. Great insights from a true Omegaexpertgentlemen. I have learned a lot from your insights, especially on the older dress watches. The watch, a true beauty..and great story that you had to hunt to bring this beauty back...
Congratulations on 1000 and thanks for all your thoughtful posts
Erich - I always look forward to your comments. On this one I prefer the gold bracelet, and not just for myself as a woman. I think in a vintage watch it does not imply conspicuous consumption or vulgarity that is often associated (at least by Europeans) ...
Exceptional!
Hi Erich, Thanks for posting that remarkable example. What a beauty! Cheers, Tony C.
In The States, Erich, "Showtime" is best known as . . .
. . . a reference to arguably the greatest professional sports team ever assembled, the Los Angeles Lakers led by Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, between 1979 and 1989, who won five NBA championships in nine years. "Showtime" is also a most fitting...
I had to...
Hi Art, first of all I want to thank you for your very kind words - you made my day! I had to laugh that you compared my collection with the showtime of the basketball league... Keep your fingers crossed for me - I am preparing the catch of a big "fish".....
I love it!

Congratulations on your 1000th post!
Congratulations on your 1000th post and looking forward to many more. I say that watch looks great on a bracelet. Maybe a bracelet all year round would be in order.
