Furthering my Omega education
Hi guys. I wanted to share my glee from recently obtaining the 2005 and 2006 Omega catalogues. I wanted to learn more about the Omega line and short of actually collecting them all, this seemed the most practical way to get started at a modest investment.Most of you must already have them and I was hoping you could share some interesting facts or anecdotes about the models, literature or the photographs. I was slightly disappointed at the lack of descriptions, since details are what watch forums are about.For instance, it took me awhile to realize that the watches in the introduction were restorations at Bienne, the Omega Museum. Yes, I was green enough to presume at first glance that the pie pan Constellation was actually still in production.I would appreciate your contributions after you¡¯re done snickering.Paolo

Flight II on that auction site....bad re-dial?
The "Hamilton" script sure doesn't look like any Flight II dial I've seen.....eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Omega Basel Releases
OK, so I cant share exactly what I have seen. I promised I would not. However, what is seen on the Omega website is not all that there was to the show. And some of what I have seen is really nice. One in particular, if the case is not as thick as they normally make them, I will be scooping up the moment it arrives. Truly, some pretty cool stuff. New iterations of the same thing in some cases, but also pretty cool.
