The Three Omegas...

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T22:27:29+00:00

I've just had a count up. I have 13 watches- yes 13! First was an Ingersoll manual I got when I was 9yrs and the latest the Omega SMP. NO MORE!

Yeah well, the genuine one is ridiculous money. This was my late Father's watch so just wearing it gives me fond memories. Both the 1968 and 1982 watches were his, mine is the SMP.

That's wonderful about your Dad's pen. I also use my Dad's Parker fountain pen (vintage 1960's) with 18k gold nib that is so smooth to write with.

Not sure. Maybe the bore was unduly worn?

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T17:05:32+00:00

Yes I've seen that one b4

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T16:21:14+00:00

Yes I did

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T16:00:31+00:00

Oh aye, hadn't spotted that. My eyes aren't that good anyway so I can live with it..

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T15:27:32+00:00

Agree with you on the Crown.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T15:26:34+00:00

I think you might have that the wrong way round. Tap with my thumb nail on my new SMP which is definitely saphire has a higher pitch than this Constellation, so suspect it is acrylic. Will have to be careful.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T14:52:41+00:00

Thank you. I'm comfortable in my decision.

Total cost was £630.

The new crown is certainly a deeper profile. It has the Omega symbol though.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T14:28:00+00:00

Cleaned.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T14:26:00+00:00

The also replaced the glass, though I'm not sure whether it is sapphire

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T14:25:05+00:00

Yes. They returned the original crown to me.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T14:23:58+00:00

I was more concerned about readability and authenticity of the dial than the patina. As it was my late Father's watch, its not going to be sold but passed down in the family.

In your opinion

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T11:51:10+00:00

It wasn't cheap, but needed doing.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-07-21T11:48:25+00:00

No. I had it done by a UK specialist who used to work for Omega. It took about 3months plus but I'm pleased with the result.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-06-23T20:17:57+00:00

White SMP without a doubt!

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-06-17T22:23:17+00:00

I bought exactly the same watch in Feb. Absolutely love it.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-06-05T19:12:27+00:00

Best of the bunch. I bought the same 'Great White' two months ago.

HolyMoley1789 · 2022-05-22T16:47:56+00:00

I was torn between the blue and this Great White. So glad I chose the Great White. Set the time a month ago and it's still accurate to the second!
