Updated group shot

Was taking a photo for my website and thought i would share. here is an updated groupshot of my collection.. funny thing is that the entire collection is worth less than the cost of a vintage sub
As i've said before, omega vintages represent phenominal value for money

Terrific collection. I am curious about the one, 2nd row down from the top on the extreme right--the one with the two tone dial, the "ringed" dial (I don't know what you call it)--what is the model and year of that one? Is it automatic or hand wound? Just curious. Thanks again for the photos.

You know something, Mamas. Today you might think that the value of that entire collection is less than that of a vintage Sub....but someday, who knows, that collection could be worth a BOMB!! And if you did decide to sell, you could suddenly find yourself into a lot of cash!!!

Thanks for the omments guys JJ.. i doubt i will ever sell these.. some pieces may not be worth more than a couple of hundred dollars at the moment .. but has taken me a year of checking out ebay everyday to buy them.. which is part of the fun for me.. the search
Haakon.. the one you like is a 283 manual wind from the 1950's.. got this one from a fellow watch collector friend.. quite an unusual design which i have only ever seen one other before.. another of my favourites

LOL @ Launch Mini!!

They are magnificent Mamas, I have a soft spot for vintage Omegas, they are beautiful. I remember seeing on the Omega TZ forum a beatiful old Chrono.... I might go see if I can find the photo again... I think they might cost as much as that vintage sub you mentioned!

Edit

Like this one, compliments from WUS forums - Gerard Jolink is the photographer
