the watches all look awesome, I am looking forward to reading the full reviews.
I hope you don't regret selling your 2998 lolipop with tropical dial, it would fit nicely in the picture ;-)

I will do a proper review of these watches in due course. The 2777-1 has already had a short review, but the 2914 Railmaster and 165014 Seamaster are newly arrived (though in the case of the 2914, purchased many months ago). I wont say that this completes...
Hhmmmm, that starts to be delicious.

Even if you just opened a kind of Pandora's box.... Will you dig a bit more in the Seamaster Line? Will you go for a Speedmaster? Superb Seamaster, by the way. Just one question: Are you sure your hour hand is correct? Bravo, my friend. Nicolas
yes hour hand is correct ...

for a very late 165014 like this ( case produced in 1964 just before the swap to the new model 165024 with " banana " lugs). here for example there is an Omega advertising from 1965 introducing the new model still with straight hour hand. it's the same qu...

with a movement number in the range of 24 mill. ( watch " produced " not before 1965 ) the f..ing hour hand is correct .
I want to enphasize some points ...
By: marcello pisani : September 30th, 2014-03:16
1) backs were produced ouside Omega .. so a back punched " 1964 " doesn't necessary means that the watch has been " assembled " ( = produced ) in the very same year ( something we have also in Rolex watches) 2) as with Rolex .... the swap between a model ...
Three great Amigos! :)

...the 165014 is just incredibly crisp. The hands, case, movement, dial...its just in stunning condition for a watch that is almost 50 years old. I put the date as 1965/66, though as Marcello points out, it has 1964 stamped on the inside case back. Of the...

.....2913-lollipop.......165024 civilian.....2998-1........ I have a good lead on one of these.....and a possible lead on a second......but it may well be that this waits for 2015........who knows. Of course, this all begs another question...... 1019, 341...

not fixed to cases in a strict progressive way ... this certificate shows that a 165014 ( wth the same back ) was produced in the 2nd half of 1966 with a movement number in the 23.0 mill. range. so production time of your watch is 1966 or early 1967 and m...
