I’m into 50s Omegas and Rolexes. Not a big collection, three so far. Have an old, gorgeous, truly beautiful mid 50s Rolex Precision my watchmaker recently finished refurbishing. It’s a major PIA to get parts for it. Not very accurate. It’s my dumb blond of a watch. This is what it looks like, pretty much. Edit: can’t get image to load. Maybe I’m the dumb blond. Lol. Have a early 50s Omega bumper my Dad gave me. Had it refurbished, working very well. The one I like best is an Omega Seamaster issued in conjunction with the Melbourne 1956 Olympics. It’s currently at watchmaker (the 7 o’clock indicator was loose). Keeps fantastic time for such an old watch, a minute a week accuracy. Here’s what it looks like: christies.com The photo doesn’t do justice. Bought it for $1500 about 15-20 years ago. Could probably sell it for 6k, but it is not for sale. Looking for a 36 mm Explorer 1 but, damn, just like stock prices, prices just keep climbing. And I hate chasing the damn things.
