    New Omega arrival

    Thanks to Baden (and my co-owner, who I'm telling the wife owns it and is lending it to me), there's now a vintage PloProf 600 on my wrist and keeping my 1000M and Big Blue company. Here's a crappy iPhone picture of the three:



    And with the rest of my Omegas:

    It's a fantastic collection.

    Well done Foxy, a growing and blossoming set.

    Very nice indeed. I think a roulette wheel soccer timer would be what I'd look for next.

    Very nice, I'll be interested to have a look at that; I get the feeling it's something that works in the metal, much more than in photos.
    I'll bring some Omegas too, so your wife can think you've totally lost the plot...

    Love the orange hands and the unusual styling on the chrono Quartz. Cracking collection.

    Lovely, Simon. Coincidentally, I was looking at one just like this yesterday on a wrist slightly more tattooed than yours.

    Bastard!

    Thanks everyone, it is remarkably comfortable. I've wanted one for ages, there's a chap on here called tuscanracer who has a fantastic original one he completely refused to sell to me.

    The Big Blue is a 176.004, it uses the same movement as the 'Jedi' 176.005.

    I still really want a Flightmaster 911. I like the soccer dial but don't get on with the 22mm lugs.

    Very nice bunch of vintage Omegas. Well done.

    Flight masters are wonderful. Can understand you wanting one:-)

    Which strap is on the cadmium one Rajen? Looks like it suits it well

    I suspect it is the missing bracelet from here

    Only pulling your leg Prefer those to the Stratos! Sorry for the thread hijack on my behalf Simon.

    I love mine. Much more comfortable to wear than the size would suggest. Just one thing though - would your wife really notice it amongst all that lot? Mine doesn't even notice when I get a new car.

    Lovely collection Simon and a Flightmaster would be an obvious addition. Don't dismiss a 910 until you've worn both for comparison purposes, as I find the 910 a much more wearable case shape and the domed crystal is a nice touch.

    im still young and i dont really appreciate vintage omega's.
    I think it has to do with the fact i didnt knew the watches when they were released nor bother to look them up.
    I do think that i will like the watches that come out today. like the TDSOTM.
