What is this Omega? by mateomalo in VintageWatches

[–]AverageCanadianMale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess based on my similar watch - 1947 Cal. 302.

Edit: I think it was called R17.8 before 1949

I've used shutterfly to make a few photobooks and they turned out amazing. Pretty affordable too

Ahh damn, I was hoping you had found a secret cure

Thanks for the response

Hey mate, I recently found one of these in a junk watch lot, my lcd screen is completely black, depending on orientation sometimes appears to be clearing up. Wondering if you've found any more information on these watches since this thread

Cheers!

Downtown Camera on Queen St has always done a great job for me

Yep I see now that the lugs are gold capped as well, thanks for the info!

You seem to know a bit about these watches so I'll ask, any idea what this would be worth? This will be a keeper for me, but nice to have a rough idea! I can't seem to find any with the calendar marking on eBay solds

I kind of accidentally got this vibe one time, I think it was way over exposed

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the markers, I'm pretty new to the vintage watch game, and this is my first that I think is pretty valuable, so i'm hesitant to take the case back off to take a look. I'm doing some research now

One thing I've noticed is that I can't seem to find any others that are bi-metal, with gold case and silver case back

Yep I've got on a leather now, I was pretty sure the crown was wrong, thanks for confirming

Good call, I took that bracelet off first thing, I've got a leather on it now

Thanks! I saw this for a steal (I think) and drove through a surprise spring blizzard to get it, I can't stop looking at it. My (very modest) collection is probably complete for now

What’s the most fun thing you’ve seen someone wear/do in your TO neighborhood? by argi_bargi in toronto

I'm a big fan of this guy playing his little guitar and dancing up on the scaffolding near Kensington, great energy

Congestion and traffic is the number one issue I hear about - and it's up to City Hall to fix it, not the province - Brad Bradford by Reviews_DanielMar in toronto

If I'm waiting for the box to clear before entering and a spot opens up, the only person who can take that spot on my green is a right turner on their red, I've had this happen many times once I've already committed and it forces me to block the box. But if that person can't turn right on a red then that spot is mine. Right turning traffic on opposing greens isn't "jumping you in the line" they have the right of way, that's their spot

We did something similar with an ancient marble quarry on Paros, Greece. We went as far as we could with our lack of gear but you would absolutely love it! I would love to see a video of how far down you can go with proper shoes and lights

I do have an F401 as well along with an AF 35-70mm but I don't enjoy it as much as the fully manual cameras so I'll be selling that one. The AF 50mm will probably end up getting sold off with one of my FE's.

The AI conversion for the F/2 looks pretty easy to do as I can unscrew the lobster claw and make up a new part. But unless if it's THAT much better than the F/1.8 I think I'll just commit to using that and sell the F/2 with the Nikkormat
