Man, that .004 really wanted to get away! I just about had a heart attack each time it slid. Great video as always.
Haha, didn't want to bored you from watching the video. So that sudden .004 movement is to pump up your blood flow :-P
Bravo!!! This is crazy...well done man!👌👌👌
Thanks a lot!
I really enjoy your videos, thank you again!
Happy to hear that!
Great video! Super informative, thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure!
Your video is fantastic :-) I have had both the 168.004 (one in gold on steel with pie pan dial and one in steel without piepan) and the 168,018 in steel. Unfortunately I have sold those watches - I think it is the topmodel of Omegas in the 60'es. Now I have seen an omega 168.010 for sale in steel and with a pie pan dial - I had to check it out, and because of your video I can see that this Omega is kosher. Thanks a lot for your information :-) And to other Omega vintage owners: If you have epscielly the reference 168.004 and 168.010 - do never ever sell them. You will regret it.
Thank you!
Believe me, many of us who have been in this hobby long enough have made a ton of regretful sells. haha
1 big passion, 100.000 small things to know !
Love your video, you explained very well. I'm considering a 168.0010
Thanks. I'm looking for a birth year watch (1963) so this was helpful. Good health.
At minute 9:45 i almost have a heart atack !! hahaha
Very fruitful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, thank you for sharing your expertise! Is it possible to send you some pics of my seamaster chronograph cal. 321 from 1958 (I believe) and have your opinion on it?
Thanks in advance!
You're welcome. If you have any questions regarding a personal watch or one online, the best place to direct ask is on the Omega Forum website. There you will find many other specialists to help you out. Thank you for your understanding.
Very good! You’ve got me so wary, I think I’ll be buying from you!
There are other good dealers out there also. Whatever you like to buy, just make sure to thoroughly study that particular case model and you should do fine.
very informative video, thank you.
You’re very welcome. Happy to hear that.
Thanks so much for the informative video! I'm wondering if you could do the same type for pre-1960s Omega Geneve or DeVille? There are so little info about these two interesting lines out there
I did a pre-deville on case model CK 14770. Check it out in the "watch2talk" playlist
There is also one on Seamaster to Seamaster Geneve to Just Geneve. Also in the "watch2talk" playlist under case model 136.011. This is just one example. But very much same information.
Hi there, amazing video! What do you know about the 168.016? I've just bought one... I'm guessing it's a special case number contemporary with the 168.018 but designed to house the slightly thicker day/date 751 movement? The lugs in profile are different again, but otherwise it's very similar to the 168.018..
168.010 can also have 527 end links no? I saw some references saying so!
I never actually try that. Since I am not a specialist when it comes to end link. But 527 at 19mm should work no problem.
اوميكا روووووووووووعة 👍🙂💪
I just enjoy your very informative video on these Omegas. I’ve been recently given the 168.018 but only the head. Where can I find the appropriate bracelet or should I just buy an after market leather strap?
I would stick to a leather strap. Bracelet you can try shopping around on Ebay. Make sure it comes with the correct size endpieces.

Very instructive video, thank you. I inherited two omega wrist watches from my father in law, one of the now identified as a 168.010 thanks to your video. One question though: it appears as if there is a cross line on the glass. Mine does not have it. Would this be original?
Glad to hear and you're very welcome.
I'm not sure what do you mean by the "cross line" on the glass. Do you mean the cross-hair on the dial?
@@TimelessHistoryChannel Indeed. But I found other photo's and video's without this cross-hair.
I am looking at Vintage Omega’s restored fromJapan.good or bad
Why does the serial number 25xxx appear in the years 1968-1969 (model 168.018) thank
25mil dates to 1967 by estimation. But on the extract from the Omega archive it could be from 1968.
Hi there. Great video but i'm still confused. If I send you a few pics could you tell me what i have?
Hi, and thank you for the comment. If you have any questions feel free to ask directly on the Omega forums, as there are many specialists there who can assist your question. I get a ton of questions throughout each day on my website and Instagram. To reduce stress, I will answer anything related to the products I have for sale. Try to find out two things as it will help you narrow down to possibly the exact model:
1. What is the lug width? 168.018 is the only model that takes 19mm strap while the other two take 18mm.
2. What calibre is inside your watch, 561 or 564?
564 has a quick set which only 168.010 and 168.018 carries.
Man your video really help me!! You know how can i get this strap for 168.004 ?
Unfortunately, I do not. Finding the bracelet alone is easy as they are all the same. But locating the proper end pieces will be difficult. Try asking on the Omega forum to see if someone there can offer one to you.
Really thank you for the information man !!
Does a .018 share crystals with a .004 & .010 ? I been given part numbers PX5112 for .018 and PX5008 for .004 & .010? Or are they the same physically?
If I remember correctly, all three references carry the same size crystal. Just make sure you keep their original crystal ring.
@OmegaEnthusiast Thank you for the update and of course the channel. Much appreciated advice and information.
@@dannyclifford7874 You're very welcome!
Can 168-004 by manually wound at all , or is it impossible as you suggest ?
It can be if you can smaller fingers. But that will also depends on the freshness of the crown gasket and whether the automatic system has been well lubricated. Otherwise, you'll not be able to wind it with using your finger tips.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel Thanks for the reply I purchased a 168-004 on ebay and your video provided me excellent information about the watch. I had tried to wind manually and didn't think i was being successful. Now I'm sure to wear it all day and it keeps perfect time.
@@mikevaccaro5883 You're very welcome. Happy to hear that my video is helpful. Take good care of your new precious.
Very helpful! What about 168.016 though??
It is a great watch. Day and Date version. Please watch this video to learn more about the movement: ruclips.net/video/d7BgTl6RRkQ/видео.html
@@TimelessHistoryChannel Thank you! I guess I was considering it the same size as these three so I was wondering why you didn't group it in. Am I correct?
@@ZBrink11 I did not include it in this video because it is a day-date version. So it is very obvious to see the difference.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel Totally makes sense, thank you! The movements technically are interchangeable between all four though, correct?
Yes, but if you do that you will be creating a franken timepiece. An Omega specialist will be able to tell believe it or not. And why wear a made up watch, right? Another thing to know is that the movement serial number on the Omega Archive will reveal what case model it belongs to. Best to stick to an all correct timepiece.
