Ok, whilst trying to do this shot i have realised a number of things, firstly group shots are nightmares to do and wont be doing one of these in a hurry again and secondly i have too many black straps

There are some on this forum with larger collections, and some whose single piece is worth probably more than my whole vintage collection, but i love these vintage omegas for a number of reasons. Anyone can go and buy a BNIB modern watch from any AD but collecting vintages is a lot harder as you often wait for months of daily searching until the right one comes along. Also these watches are from a time when omega made amongst the best movements in production in house rather than using ETA. Thirdly, you can pick up most of these vintages for less than $1000.. manyfor less than $500.
anyway enough talking.. here is the state of my collection:

From top left row: early 1960's 561 calibre pie pan connie, 2005 aqua terra, late 1970's seamaster day date, 1945 30t2 suveran, early 1960's 562 calibre pie pan connie.

From bottom left:353 calibre seamaster date from mid 1950's, early 1953 calibre 267, mid 1960's seamaster 300, late 1950's calibre 501 seamaster, late 1950's calibre 505 pie pan connie
