    Omega W.W.W Old and the new

    Heres my recently acquired Omega W.W.W although the most common of the www watches, i think its probaly the nicest after the Cyma..

    I've taken it against the more modern Omega dynamic, seeing as the dynamic was inspired by the older military watches i think it only fitting to have a few pictures to compare differences.

    Anyway heres a couple of shots.

    Nice comparison shots there! Thanks for doing those.

    I must say I like that Omega Dynamic more and more...

    The Dynamic is a beautiful watch and they need to be bought used now.... I don't think they're still being made. I'd love one personally, but at the moment all my Omegas are vintage.

    I have an Omega Dynamic that was bought new in 2001, I think it must have been one of the last ones produced.

    Very nice. You say that the Omega W.W.W. is very common? Not more common than a Timor or Vertex I think... never see the Omega ones for sale to be honest.

    The Omega is much more common. Just take a look at EBay! If you haven't seen an Omega for sale you really haven't looked very hard.

    Most I find are non-original or franken-watches...

    Re: Omega W.W.W Old and the new

    The omegas where produced in greater number beyond any of the other www watches, so by my seeing they are more common, however they maybe more valued (for obvious brand reason) and good examples may sit in collections longer than the likes of vertex or Timor, which have a lower production quantity...

    Ding dong, those Omega Dynamic's are just simply stunning...

    not really. Most (80-90%) of all are refinished dials.

    Very nice. What was the issuing criteria for the WWW watches of WW2? When i was in in the late 70's and 80's, G10 watches were issued to NCO's and Officers , from the G1098 stores.

    Stunning! Though that's a different model from the OP's.

    You know, I only wish they had made these in 40mm plus!
