Title: My vintage omega collection
Post by: tcboy on July 07, 2011, 07:57:13 PM: These are my dear Omega collection that I have invested over the years. Most of the dials have been refurbished which explains all of them looks so new for watches that have been around since the 1960s/70s.

A bit of background.
These are my vintage Omega timepieces that I still have in my collection. I started this hobby with a vintage Omega Constellation and Dynamic in 2002 and that piece have been long gone to another owner. One of the things that I like about the old watches is the simplicity and it has that certain character. Now I look at the new watches design, I can see where they got their inspiration. The vintage watches are timeless in my honest opinion, so enjoy the pics guys.

Post by: scalpel72 on July 12, 2011, 03:14:29 PM: I just love the arrow markers on your
Seamaster, looks fantastic 8)

The Speedmaster Mark 4.5 I reckon
has the best dial among the speedies
and that includes the pro ;)

Great collection and thanks for sharing
Title: Re: My vintage omega collection
Post by: tcboy on July 12, 2011, 03:37:43 PM: Scapel, I can tell you know your Omegas. The SM 4.5 is my fav among the lot. You can see there are some scratches on the Tachy (when I first bought it) and I have a brand new replacement Tachy for it- which was so difficult to find. But not wanting to replace it yet- afraid to get it scracthed.

Can you share where you send your watches for refurbish?
TQ
Title: Re: My vintage omega collection
Post by: tcboy on July 19, 2011, 07:54:39 PM: Hi Coffas,

I got it refurbished in UK when i was staying there 8-9 years ago. Not sure if the guy is still there as he was quite old then.
Do you have old watch to refurbish?

h.chang,

It is called a bumper movement or hammer wind movement.

Nice collection of vintage Omega.

Post by: h.chang on October 13, 2011, 12:03:23 PM: I am not very knowledgable on Omegas. Just collected them because they are such reliable watches to wear daily and because they are of 18k Gold. Got to catch up on reading on Omegas! Any assistance will be appreciated. I believe they are from the sixties.
