My 700th post and I’m proud to say it’s with a vintage gold Omega!

Normally more of a vintage Rolex fan but managed to snatch up this full solid 36mm YG Omega with box! Added an Omega strap and buckle and the love saga was complete...pretty sleek bastard, this one...noob on Omega so all input is appreciated!

Wow. One of my favorite vintage Omega! My grandfather had a similar watch and brother owns it now. Huge congrats.

Major thumbs up!!

I'm no expert, but I think I read that Omega was ahead of Rolex back in those days. I have a cal 265 from the 40s. Runs beautifully, very accurate.

Thanks guys! It’s a fantastic dress watch for sure. Really thin but wears nice at 36mm! Lovely yellow gold color as well!

Excellent find! Vintage Omega pieces certainly have great appeal, especially in prescious metal. Enjoy in good health!
