Nicolas, i had the museum edition, but i dont think i've ever seen more than 2 originals

they are very rare indeed. the slightly more common model is the one with long crown stem that is often seen in the books. i've got no pic of that i'm afraid.

i bought all the museum pieces from 2001-2005 in the misguided belief that they might possibly be collectable at some stage in the future. i've only kept the 2002 Cosmic and 2004 Petrograd. a 2005 Centenary which i sold at a big loss last year was selling at a UK auction today for £800-1200(£3995 retail in 2005!!). a solid rose gold ltd ed chronometer at less than a 60's Constellation. i was very tempted

i'll be perfectly honest, i dont think its worth actively searching for an original as it could be a fruitless search. letting one fall into your lap is the best way.

good luck if you search

best

A question for all of you, Omega Lovers, about the 1938 Pilot watch

By: amanico : April 6th, 2009-13:20

4 or 5 years ago, I saw this watch, A replica of a Pilot watch, which was introduced in the " Museum Collection " . I made some searches, and was amazed by the rarity of the original model, which looks a lot like this Re Edition. But I'm not an expert, so...

There's one exactly..............

Thanks, Dave, but I much prefer the original one. Best! [nt]

We had one already in a thread

Hi Nicolas, I showed one of these rare beasts in a former thread: http://omega.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-677/pi-2587261/ti-431006/s-0/ Have a look! They are very scarce meanwhile and the prices have gone through the ceiling after the Omegamania ...

Yes, this one!

A fantastic piece, indeed. One of the nicest Vintage Pilot watch, IMO, with the Longines, and the JLC Mark 11. As for patience, you're absolutely right, and patient I am... With this kind of piece, at least. Thanks, my friend, for your help. Best, Nicolas

These are gorgeous watches

Love the pilot style, part of what attracted me to the more recent Dynamic. This was truly beautiful.

I saw them in the Omegamania catalogue, Graham

But never in the flesh. What I know is that this Beast had an important size for this era ( 41 mm ). Will follow your advice, my friend. Best, Nicolas

Thanks, Mrsnak

Yep, one of the most appealing Omega, to me. I may consider the re edition, but the original is another league ( of interest and beauty). Best, Nicolas
