I’ve got several vintage in the collection. Here are my Omegas. The first is a military watch with the cool markings on the caseback. The second is from 1943 and has the coolest patina. The third is a prefect condition (not sure how it was created) 1949, but I love the “Pontif” hour hand and funky font.

It’s one of the few watches that I own, where when I opened up the packaging I literally said “wow” out loud. It’s also crazy thin too, since it has a manual wind movement. It’s basically my dress watch, if I ever need one.

looks great and the crystal appears to be in good shape.

what is the crystal made of? a friend of mine bought a vintage omega and it was acrylic (not sure it was original).

I think this is acrylic? Not too sure but I will have to check. Crystal has a crack, so I intend to swap it out myself!

Those are absolutely fantastic, it’s almost unbelievable they go for such low prices. May I ask if you bought from a dealer, or eBay?

Ebay! Normally I would buy from a dealer but vintage Omega pieces are usually safe on ebay

Okay so, I find myself in a tough situation. Recently, my professional license became jeopardized. There’s many details that I rather not share publicly just incase, but trust me when I say that this was over a ridiculous complaint that wasn’t serious. I have an attorney involved working with me on an appeal, but I’m really nervous and feel that I morally made the right decisions in the situation that I faced. I was wondering: has anyone ever faced a situation like this? I need advice!

Been waiting almost 1.5 years for a sub for a family member and a YM40 rhodium for myself, have purchase history with the AD ($30k in 2021). Every time I follow up, I get a nothing but a pedantic message like ‘please continue developing a relationship ship with us’. And meanwhile I see stories on this bowl about people getting rarer pieces with no history within 2-5 months. As happy as I am for you guys, my heart just sinks :(
