Hi Guys, I'm suddenly having difficulty getting on to the Omega Vintage Database - I used to go in directly using the web address http://62.73.172.171/eMuseumPlus but this no longer seems to work for me and I just get the Omega website. Does anyone know h... 

I prefer the old database but i has been closed down a day ago. The new one has less info http://www.omegawatches.com/spirit/history/vintage-omegas/vintage-watches-database?error=Please%20supply%20a%20valid%20URL Best Thomas

That the old database was a huge advantage and a huge tool for anyone that buys Omega watches. I'm not aware of any other manufacture that has (or had, as is the present case) a database of products. Wake up Omega!! We are, as far we know, on the 21st cen... 

...but the only addition would be the "more product information" that was removed from the current Omega website. The Omega Vintage Database is searcheable using Google. For some reason, Yahoo, Bing or the other engines don't work. So you can search in Go... 

It's a bit of a kerfuffle but at least it works - just to make it clear, there is a space between the 's' of eMuseumplus and the first of the numbers but it doesn't work with an * like the old site used to. Thanks again - at least we can still get the add...

This is something that google stores on their own servers. I just don't know how long they will keep this info available under the cache option. I suppose they might keep it indefinitely but who knows?
