Hi All, Arriving at a decision whether or not I like something is usually quite straightforward and pretty much instantaneous. Very rarely do I change my mind about my likes or dislikes and so it was quite a surprise that after dismissing C shape Constell...

. . . the most toys, wins." I'm sure that sentiment would come across as deeply profound in Latin. If it's any consolation, Andrew, you're in good company. None of us have any willpower when it comes to vintage Omega! Committed as ever, Art

That's a good saying Art......

I'll try and remember it so that I have some quick response when challenged!!! Cheers Andrew

Double coincidence ...

 
 By: nilomis : March 14th, 2012-11:28
Aroma, Some time back I took a pic from a friend's Constellation and seeing yours ... (sorry for the bad pic ) The coincidences: a) Is the same model (my friend's one is white gold, if my memory is working) b) Notice the date. Your and his are on the 18th...  

A white gold one!!!

Well that is special - I've never seen one. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your search. Cheers Andrew

Sorry for the pic ...

But my friend returned the watch to his "dungeon" and the light conditions at that time were not that good. Cheers, Nilo

that is a real beauty to add to your other beauties

you faced the same situation as me, you've been looking for a long time and found it. how long until you find another if you let it go. who knows, so you had to pull the trigger on it and from those pics i believe it was well worth it. one thing i have no... 

Thanks Graham, from memory..........

the C shape came out in late (Dec) 1965 and so mine are indeed all very early ones - the cal 564 (which I would have preferred) didn't come out until later. I haven't got a 564 anywhere in my Omega collection (565 yes but no 564) but as you know sometimes... 

Indeed, it is an exceptional piece

After what 'mondodec' said (kind words) about the Constellation 'C', the really good examples are becoming more and more difficult to get. Very likely those who are lucky enough to own ones, that are as close as possible to factory-original condition, dec... 

Love the C case Connies...

...and this is a fine gold example. Congratulations.

I also wish I could stop.

I do have a solution to curd your craving to buy watches. Buy a country house that needs a lot of work, in which case you also need a strong tempered wife to remind you that you will now be pilling all your available cash into renovation work. I cannot gu...

that was my problem George, my ex wife wasnt strong enough until the last minute. she let things go on as they were as the money was mine then she just blew a gasket and left. i'm in a good situation as i own a well maintained and well built house and no ...

a black dial 168.004. thats a sight not often seen. mine is a silver dial which could be construed as a bit boring with a steel case. perhaps i'll keep my eye out for a 1964 black dial. G

What I am looking more and more for are the papers. not easy to fint as most of the Omegas I collect are from 50'ties and 60'ties. Also the right box, original starp and buckle are worth looking for. I was visiting the Omega Museun in Biel last week - act...

if i didnt limit to something i'd buy every watch i saw and just go bankrupt. its a theme i like and i've found some fascinating pieces. i thought it was slowing up, but i've bought 7 this year, only 1 Omega, but a Longines and 2 Junghans incl a chronomet...
