Team, Years back a dear friend made a great catch in front of me. He was so excited that I held my deep desire to have it. Time passes and one day, learning that I had a dinner on the shopping mall that also includes the Omega Boutique, he asked if I coul...  

Now you have to hunt the sister, the 1938 Pilot watch from the Museum Series:

Excellent catch, Nilo. More than once, I thought about getting this one and its sister from 1938. What a dial, what a character! Love both of them! Best, and congratulations! Nicolas

Thank you....

I love the 1938, had one on my hands.... And passed it. It was in great shape, full set, but it was with the wrong crown. Little that I knew that a simple "pit stop" at the boutique could fix that beauty. Sometimes I do very bizarre actions. Now,let's wai... 

Agreed....

Visit a Omega Boutique. Or If you're a "rusty lover", the sky is not the limit. Amazes me how large is the number of models that Omega ever made. Cheers, Nilo

You are right

This afternoon, with this Omega strapped on my wrist, seeing my soccer team being robbed by a so so referees... My wife took a look and stated: "I serious believe that this watch will be great on my wrist". Since I always have the final words, my reply wa...

And there is a strong perspective that she will come, some day, with another "trade" proposition. The only true keeper on her small collection is a Longines Lindbergh (the last true "in house" movement by Longines) that she, somehow, associates not with t...

I admire those true vintage ones but they don't enter on my watch box because they are so unique that I don't dare to wear it. Since I only have wearable pieces I cannot own one of those. Years back a dear friend acquired this one: Wonderful, complete. It...
