Beautiful time capsules and uniquely useful content again from this channel - thank you! I've never bought a watch with box/papers as the price premium has been too much for me and I'm more of a bargain hunter (Genèves, De Villes etc). Though I can see that it's really useful to help with authenticating and working out provenance for really collectable watches like these. Agreed that condition is really important and should be reflected in the price - often it isn't.
Great video, thanks , didn't realize that you changed the channel name ! Glad I'm really into fancy lug watches and RUclips recommended it . Saw it was you 👍
That C-shape Omega must have cost you a fortune in this state and all the original box, papers and other shenanigans. Absolutely gorgeous. I love my Genta designed C-shape 1968 cal. 564 Constellation, but I don't have any of the original stuff for it.
Thank you for the comment. Most importantly, your watch is all original and in great shape. Box and papers are bonuses. It's alright to have and not have them.
Usually on some of the solid gold models the hands and indexes, including the dial are made of gold as well. Some dial will even have the sigma hallmark next to Swiss Made to indicate that the indexes and hands are solid gold. Sigma logo is like the letter “O” with a pointy tip
@@runcoweezrun8143 No vintage mechanical Omega watch movement that I know of carries any gold material. That's why you do not see people breaking them apart to melt for gold.
Another thing: the $285 price in 1969 equates to $2,383 USD in today's terms. I wonder how much a contemporary 14k gold Omega Constellation w/a day & date complication would set me back? Whatever the price, the skyrocketing gold prices of the past decade certainly won't help save with regard to the final cost. What have we learned? Yet another reason to consider expertly serviced vintage as a viable option for the first time watch purchaser, the young professional who's serious about his career & has a serious watch to back him up...
Thanks Sao, your da man …we should call you Omegaman!
haha, thank you!

Haha. Thank you for the comment. And yes, I recently changed the name of this channel.
Two very beautiful watches…thank for sharing……..
You’re welcome and thanks for commenting!
Incredible, like stepping into a time machine !
Absolutely! I would even describe the Constellation C as new old stock!

i would say the first watch has also a gold cap case, not a gold filled one
Hello,
Nice Pieces. Is there any "Gold" in Omega Watches as in Indices, Hands, Rotors or any other parts? Thank you.

@@TimelessHistoryChannel Thank you. How about in Stainless Steel models, any Gold parts inside the Watch mechanism?

@@TimelessHistoryChannel Hahahaha Okay. Thank you so much.
@@runcoweezrun8143 You're welcome. Please whatever you do, do no not melt down a nice watch for gold. :-D

Прекрасный экземпляр!

可以買到'嗎？
Both sold
Why are they called "dog leg"?
The shape of the lug resembles like the leg of a dog (side view). Some collectors will call these lugs “frog legs” as well.
Because the lugs are bent sharply in the middle, resmbling the rear legs of a dog when viewed from the side.
Awww, just missed the C model in your website after being in a remote area for 4 days, bummer! How much did it sell for?
Brother
oh man vintage watches rule...
Indeed!
