Love that watch. Weren't they around 400 pounds new? Any idea of present values on them?PADDY said:This is the one I took to the states and it performs consistently well all the time!! plus it has a great vintage art deco look to it. Shame they don't make this model anymore in this style.

I have just unwrapped the Omega officer from the box it came in. It is absolutely inredible! I have never ever seen one in such good condition - and knowing the seller I know that the dial is original.
Both the black dialled Omegas are bought from a private collector I have come into contact with through a danish watch forum. He is doing a "clean up" in his collection. I have been lucky to obtain the watches at some very good prices.
I have a third watch coming from the same source; a 1938 14 karat gold Omega in 30 mm.
I may also be lucky to get my hands on a 40s or 50s art-deco Elgin with original band and box and a nicely patinated dial - but time will tell.
In opposite to most people I am quite fond of the small (according to modern standards anyway) gents watches of the 30s and 40s - quite a few of my friends has asked me lately why I have stated to wear ladies watches lol
Regards.
