Taken a few pictures of my connie collection.. my latest connie.. the 505 calibre 1957 connie and 562 calibre 1962 connie.. will be sending my 1957 connie for a service, as it s losing 5 minutes a day, and its dial needs a clean up ...
enjoy.. :-/ :-/

LOL, fighting words, eh John?

Excellent pics and collection, Mamas. Now those are the only kind of watches that actually do look better on straps!!

C.J. · 17 February 2006, 05:37 PM

Very nice, mamas

Two classic vintage Omegas the 505 and the 562 great movements

I love the Connies, both of yours look really sweet. Last year I traded a 59 Rolex for an all 18k Pie Face Connie with 561 movement. It is one of my favorite watches. I looked for several years before I found one in the condition mine is in, and had the original crown.

Omega should get away from its current Connie design and make it the flagship dress watch it used to be. A couple of years ago they did have a large Deville with a pie face that looked close. I think the current Connie design looks tired and dated.

Just my 2 cents

Hmmm....that could call for 50 push-ups you know?

mamas · 18 February 2006, 05:23 AM

thanks for the comments guys

, i agree i dont know why omega continues with its current connstellation line up. They look nice for ladies, but i really dislike the current mens constellation. i wish that they would go back and use these designs.

I have had three Constellations SS older cushion models and still eye the all gold models either cushion or piepan. Here's one of the SS I had:

Beautiful, Eric...love that 'frosted' dial and the little window surrounding the date!!

mamas · 19 February 2006, 02:07 AM
