Very nice anyone going to start a vintage collection,Omega gives good value for money.But be quick because they are going up in price fast,with some of the rarer models, have almost doubled in price, over the last couple of years.

Nice pick up writer

nice piece! the redial looks to be tastefully done. my only concern is that cal. 510 was never used in vintage semasters..are you sure that is what it has inside? as if it is then this unfortunately would be a frankenwatch :( :(
you can cross check on the omega vintage website.. register, go to advanced search and enetr 510 calibre number there and you will see only 3 models that used this mechanism and none of them where semasters.
