Hey, what are friends . . .
. . . for?
Back to vintage Omegas: the Connie Calendar with arrowhead markers and engraved crosshair dial was not to be found. I saw it at the local vintage Omega store about six weeks ago, and was hoping to see it again yesterday with camera in hand. It's been sold, much to my chagrin. While we were there, though, I did take a few snaps of a fellow Purist's budding collection. For your viewing pleasure: a late '50s cal 491 in 18 kt . . .
. . . a '54 SM waffle cal 354 . . .
. . . and an amazing '47 Omega cal 30T2SC . . .
. . . in 14 kt yg. Unmolested and original, save for the crown.
David will be posting his own photos soon.

I love waffles! You too?
I have completely fallen in love with this old Omega. Sure we know about Rolex waffle dials or so called honeycomb dials. The Explorer 6350 has one of the nicest waffle dials I know but so does the early 6541 Millgaus -which is stunning. But Omega is perh...

My gosh- your example is absolutely stunning. May I ask what reference this is? I will start doing my research on the constellation soon I think ;) Congratulations on your superb example! Best Edmond
Mine is a ref 2852, Edmond. Gotta love Connies . . .
. . . in all shapes and sizes. There's a mid-'70s square case cal 1021 Connie with a grey engraved dial that could easily find its way to my collection. Art
Ever seen one of these . . .

I do love waffles!! Beautiful example dear Edmond!!...
... so elegant and classy! Looks so cool on your wrist! A little cousin in my collection (with a more humble steel case) says hi! Enjoy it in good health my friend! Very cordially, Abel. ...
Thank you
For the compliment- but the watch is not yet mine. I am negotiating the price (which nobody really seems to know the value of). Sooner or later I will get there. As yours- although the 'poorer' cousin in steel- I would say: not bad at all Abel! ;) All the...
Remind me a Girard Perregaux
Like waffles and seeing your Omega remind me a Girard Perregaux I was looking to. Very similar, No ? Chris ...
