Omega

Well, you vintage guys/girls seem to have so much fun, I just couldn't resist a tiny dabble... Late 50s Seamaster with Cal. 420 movement. I was drawn to the dial and the beefy lugs. It's only 34.5mm, but it has a really nice presence on the wrist. Honeyco...

... glad to see you can't resist beauty of vintage. this dial of your watch is the one that i always wanted to hunt for long time. very nice indeed. thanks for sharing. stefan

The dial was definitely what drew me to this one. The texture of the honeycomb, softened a bit by the plexi, is just a nice, warm feature. Best, Jed

Strenght and elegance at the same time. Best, Nicolas, totally admirative.

What a Beauty! The luminous dots are the cherry on the cake, and the dial is a real honey cake. Superb. Best, Nicolas

Honey cake with a cherry on top, well, I am tempted by sweets for sure. Best, Jed

Though this is my first purchase, my collection does another Omega, but only in bailment for my daughter, to whom my father has given his father's Omega. When she's a little older she'll have it....  

Hi Jed, the dial makes the watch - very nice indeed. The combo of honeycomb and these triangular markers is just superb! enjoy erich

Nice acquisition to get one with the honeycomb dial. If it runs fine I'd even wait to get it serviced. Hard to tell about the crown except that it appears to be signed. Did you buy it local or online?

Thanks mrsnak. The crown is signed. Here's a little better look at it. I picked up the watch online....  

But I'd keep that one on it even if it weren't. Those lugs look great from the side and the case looks pristine except for the small ding! This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2010-10-20 10:08:34

...Ill shoot you an email and we can work out a date. The watch looks great, and Ill hopefully get to see it in the metal. Best. Scott

A crosshair, textured dial. The arrow-head markers at the quarters. A tidy looking 50's steel case. What's not to like about that ? I'm sure if it wasn't you that hadn't been weak for this one, someone else here would have been soon enough… And I'm with a...
