new hoot - omega automatic geneve dynamic

[devil00]

Best way to clear the doubts of this cylop of it and the crystal origin is to bring the watch down to swatch group which is at lvl 4 wheelock place during weekdays before 5pm as from there the techincian will access the origin of the watch and plexi glass of your vintage omega

thats not true , the local technicians there do not have extensive knowledge about vintage watches. usually for such tasks they will have it sent back to switzerland for verification/repair, and u'll get back a hefty bill


we already know for sure the cyclops is not original , i ve seen many nos examples as well as the original catalogues and ads .[/quote

No..Omega they can open and access thru their history of the watches they produce down the years so it isnt any problem.Access of watch is FOC anyway,don need sit aeroplane go switzerland

erm.. IMO from what I know and heard from various omega collectors,the service center is ok if you bring your current to recent omega models and the more popular(high end?) vintage models. Then they have extensive knowledge with aid of the database. Other than that,there are lots of Omega vintage models not well documented,let alone the individual parts number(crown/stem/crystal/gasket etc).

the database has been open to public for a long time

looking at online references is the easy part , the hard part is to really assess it

All the experts has spoken. That's the joy of vintage collecting.

The path to discovery is fulfilling but it's also a dangerous path without knowledge and guidance.

Omega vintage is more complicated than vintage Seiko..... from what I have learned with fellow collectors and online resources.... confusion also arises even for experience collectors..... original parts between various models can be interchange between but not correct for that particular model especially the crystals..... I myself also blur blur..... so the generally rule of thumb.... should have the little omega logo for all plastics regardless of vintage/modern.... mineral/sapphire no logo one..... as for cyclops which can be add-on on original crystals is even harder.... not correct for your model but still original which is widely accepted by most collectors....

ya, if ah goh doesnt have an original crystal, he certainly has the expertise and tools to scratch that logo on my crystal for me . well, it's just a $400 old watch, i'm not going to lose sleep over it.

i remember this bro from mediacxxk has one geneve dynamic hooted from K2.



have a chat with him when i bump into him at K2 nong nong time ago.
