Sub007 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) The reason why I fell in love with Omega at an early age, this was in my fathers drawer when I was only 8 years old...as my grandfather passed away he gave me this watch which my father kept safe untill I was 18 years old...Now I got it restored. They fitted the wrong crown though so I´m getting the right one now and will replace that later on (needs to be a decagonal gold capped crown)Got a nice thin black alligator strap mounted on it which makes it the perfect dress watch for me.Just love that pie pan design and the watch is so easy to `read´ because of the simple design. You can clearly see the Omega logo in the center of the PlexiNot the right crown for a 1967 constellation, although good serviced I specifically asked for a decagonal replacement crown but they did not find one. I just found one will have it replaced asap.This was the time when loyal employees would still get a `golden watch` for retirement. Even after almost 50 years !!! there´s still some tritium left in the hands, hardly noticeable in the pictures but I can see it. I remember well as a little kid I used to fetch the watch from my fathers drawer...hold it in the light and look at at night in my bed. Mesmerized by that green light that slowly faded away...pure magic Edited October 29, 2015 by Sub007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

508-Fanatic Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Whenever I see a watch like that Christopher Walken's "This was up my ass" speech comes into mind from Pulp Fiction haha - Wear it in good health, be a steward for it for future generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Lovely piece. I do like vintage Omega, although I only have one; a vintage gold Seamaster, I really should buy somemore as they are very well priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
