Attention to Detail !>
FAKE! Closed serifs at 6. Original dial to the right. Also notice the small hole in the lumina on the original one. This is a sign that the watch has not been re-lumed and has its original lumina |
I gave the watch to my Dad when i got out of the Navy, He was a carpenter and bumped the bezel and it came off. The Bezel was stored for over 45 years until I had it put back on the watch 5 years ago. YES THE WATCH IS ALL 100% ORIGINAL!@thegreentreefrog your example is a hell of a watch and an original 165.024 or 166.024 - especially with provenance - should be a 5 figure Omega, collectors are queueing up for them. However, the patina on your bezel is nowhere near in line with the dial. The older ones are made of different materials and the detail (the numbers, the 5 minute batons and 12 o'clock triangle) yellows very easily. Yours shows not one bit of fading I'm afraid to say and for once that's a bad thing - it is almost certainly a service replacement, the colour, the text and the spacing appear (to my eye) incorrect.
Does that kill the sale? Nope! Original bezels can be had if you hunt hard enough, these watches still get broken for parts now and again.
What kills the sale is you. I've been back on here a day so I've no idea if you have "form", but all I saw on that thread was you blocking people for asking questions. :laugh: :laugh: Stick to your guns by all means, but you're on a forum FULL of watch experts... I'm sure you know best though, I feel put in my place already after you advising me to "do my homework". I won't tell you what I do for a living.
Yep, not something I actually knew before this thread....at least we have possibly learnt about numeral fonts... at the very least
A round of applause.While we're spouting unrelated and irrelevant facts to make us sound tougher, I once hit Bruce Banner in the face using Chuck Norris, and when he got cross and changed into the Incredible Hulk I beat him in an arm wrestle.
What does that qualify me for?
I'm sure he's used to at least one type of regular finger exercise.Are there finger exercises to allow HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY for extended periods?
Strangely I didn't notice Larry Hagman as much as the gorgeous Barbara Eden! Too cute for words.Take up knitting?
Some of you young gippers don't remember "Who shot JR?" on Dallas? Okay, maybe some of you remember I Dream of Jeannie....
This post was just like shining the bat signal into the sky , except instead of the bat signal , you must have shined a different signal into the sky !!
[ sorry if I appear a tiny bit rude ]
I studied martial arts for 12 years under Shihan Blackburn, it embodied respect in individuals amongst other things.[IMG alt=":aggressive:" data-emoticon=""]http://xflive.thewatchforum.co.uk/uploads/monthly_2015_06/aggressive.gif.8802af01842809eff11075336f95b4bd.gif[/IMG]I have studied the martial arts for 2 1/2 years under a US NAVY SEAL, That qualifies me to tell you Sir. TO GO F#CK YOURSELF!
OBVIOUSLY .Does martial arts training actually make it easier to SHOUT AT PEOPLE ONLINE then? Are there finger exercises to allow HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY for extended periods?
