Superb pice, Ginger!
A timeless piece...
It seems contagious, when you see Art's posts about the GO Sixties or the Vintage Connie, and now, you and this beautiful SM!
Will try to post something quite soon, in the same category, if I have time, which is a bit rare, these days...
Best, and Thanks!

Yet another vintage Seamaster - ref 2849
Since this appears to be a week for non-diving Seamasters, I thought I'd join the party with what I believe is a 1959 model and entirely original I just opened the package today on this one and I am quite pleased. Even on the smallest setting the beads of...
Don´t worry...
Hi Ginger, don´t worry about the missing word "Calendar" - this is quite common! I rather would worry about the Cal. 502 movement - as this Ref. should have a Cal. 503 inside... Have you ever tried to confirm (opened the back)? Can you post an image? May...
Simple search found several examples w cal 302
I don't think it has been swapped out. At first I thought the same as you, a typo, but the seller's pic clearly shows 502. The Omega vintage website doesn't even list the cal 502 in the drop down menu, but it did exist - 17 j being the principal distingui...
Nice catch, Ginger!
These older Omegas are timeless, aren't they? I was recently looking at old pie-pan dial Constellations and thinking, "I'd like a nice, clean example of that..." Enjoy the new watch. It looks great! Cheers, Daos
nice watch Ginger, impeccable taste as ever.
shame about the strap. i'd take links out if you have the tools. case looks to be in great condition as does the dial. would be nice to see the movement. i had the 'calendar' with date at 6 in gold cap. thats the one that should always have the word calen...
Graham, I'm wearing mine now...
Same dial colour and indices as Ginger's. Though with the date at 6 (as you say) and a bumper 353 auto. Screw case back with no seaghorse, though. It has a generic replacement crown, it the original per Gingers or some other design?...
Ben, i 'think' that...
Ben, i 'think' that the calender with date at 6 was earlier as mine dated from 1954 with a 35X bumper auto. i only have 2 poor pics of it with no caseback. it shows what is probably a generic crown. Bill will know the correct crowns for the correct cases....
Dr No's Connie was my inspiration
I had been looking for an early Connie with Arrowhead markers, and frankly just can't justify the coin right now for a clean example. I almost ended up with one with an orange (probably more corrosion than patina) dial but was outbid. G
Arrowhead markers are pretty cool, I must admit . . .
. . . warm regards from So Cal, Art...
502 calibre
Hello Ginger. I sold you this watch. I have some info on the 502 calibre, I've attached some information I had found on it soon after I bought this watch. I'm very glad you like it, it's apparently rarer than I thought. Sad part of the story is I sold thi...
