Omega

In addition to its rarity, definitely a good-looking watch.

. . . to see it in the metal when we're finally able to have a g-t-g next year. I'm thinking March . . .

. . . so it will probably be months before it's ready for a photo session, Nicolas - he's swamped with work as it is, and already has one of mine in his shop with another due in as well. By the way, I've decided to name this one 'Nicolas'. ...  

. . . but Nicolas is better. ;-)

This watch was obviously destined for your collection. It’s a beautiful watch.

. . . my vintage fancies and it's within financial reach, there's a good shot it'll end up in my collection.

Enjoy !

. . . from the seller. Apparently the owner is a retired USN officer who inherited it from his father, also a USN officer. Perhaps he was stationed in Germany right after the war . . . if that turns out to be the case, then it's possible the watch has alw... 

. . . will never steer you wrong.

... collection dear Art! And to complete the pleasure of owning it is the story behind its capture: just when you thought you hadn’t won the bidding the good news from the seller announced you still had the chance to have it! Again confirms my belief that... 

. . . with Tiffany. Maybe I should call him 'Nicolas'? ...  

... for a lovely and gorgeous couple!! Cheers for them!! Enjoy them so much dear Art! Have a great 2021 my dear friend! Abel

. . . (long story, and yes, covid related!) I'll take a few pics of 'Nicolas' along with other fortunate finds in my collection, particularly the Argentine Bombshell. Warmest, Art ...  

. . . anywhere. Ref 2494? Sure, dozens, if not scores. Chronometers? Yes, but mostly cal 354s. Without 'Seamaster' on the dial, a cal 35 2 movement, steel case with pink gold bezel? This is the only one. Reference number C O 2494, ca '49.

. . . without Abel. Successful snipers have spotters. Truly, Abel was the sniper and I only the spotter. He did all the heavy lifting to get this gem out of Argentina and into my hands.

. . . "Dexter". ...  

... after a Germany located Flightmaster!! Cheers my friend!!

You spotted a true gem among so many offerings on ebay! I was just very lucky with a friend here and the seller returning!! I’m so happy with this catch!!

... I send you my big Hug my friend! All the best, Abel

. . . has just closed due to covid. I can't get there until Thursday - they've hired a guard and given me an appointment to switch the contents (all watches!) to the other branch in town. Sorry for the confusion!

... I feel relieved! Take much care my dear Art!! Best! Abel

Interesting watch either.
