Thank you! Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be an episode on integrated bracelet. You might hate me for saying this, but I made a video long ago explaining why you should avoid models with integrated bracelets. 😅
Hi there, I was comparing two watches on your website and I landed on your YT while researching. The first watch you mentioned here is one of the watches I'm considering. The other one is 1967 Geneve 131.019. I like the simple and vintage look of the latter but the former has an automatic movement which is a plus. My question is, in another video you mentioned that we should make sure that metal pressure ring is there to make sure it's closed properly (esp. for the one from 1960s). I cannot see the metal pressure ring in photos of these watches. Is it lost or just a different type of case? Thank you
Hi, and thank you for the comment. If you have questions regarding the products on my site, you can always email me in the future. 😄 Not all Geneve references require that metal ring inside the case back. The ring is needed depending on how the movement is secured inside the case. For example, 131.019 does not require this metal ring because the case clamps are clamped to the case and not to a movement ring. Therefore, it is secure already. On top of that, the case bezel on this reference goes over the edge of the dial, giving an additional hold. This is why Omega has so many different model references. The model reference does not only imply how the watch looks but also affects how everything about the watch is put together-lots to learn. 😉
@TimelessHistoryChannel thanks a lot for the explanation. I'm quite new in this (especially in vintage watches). I just recently started checking out the options. I'll drop you an email sometime to understand the options better.
Thank you for the comment. That’s correct; 2374 is also an Omega first-generation automatic watch, along with a few other references. You can always watch an episode I made on those references in the channel’s playlist. 😃
You’re welcome. I do not recall the exact year. But here is one example: ONE OF THE BIGGEST VINTAGE OMEGA SEAMASTER - 42MM CASE MODEL 168.050 - CHRONOMETER GRADE th-cam.com/video/c8GTBDsIi6k/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
You’re welcome and many thanks! ☺️
Thanks Derek.
Another good video.
Glad you enjoyed it as always!
Omg #3 is gorgeously looks like a Calatrava. The Goldcapp is the only date back otherwise…gorgeous
Thank you! Honestly, gold-capped is not too bad as they are many times more sturdy than gold-plated. :)
Vault of knowledge, Sao thanks again;)
You're welcome! 😊
Love this series. Would you mind making one about vintage integrated bracelets ?
Thank you! Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be an episode on integrated bracelet. You might hate me for saying this, but I made a video long ago explaining why you should avoid models with integrated bracelets. 😅
Very interesting.Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I’d like to see a video about vintage Omega pie pan dials.
Here you go sir. :)

You’re welcome. Please take your time to decide and email me anytime!
Number one... 😍
The first automatic watch Omega released was the Ref. 2374 and in the same year Ref.2375, both in 1943

Appreciate the education on Omega vintage. When is the first year and model that Omega made a 40MM automatic?

@ thank you, I will check it out.
You’re welcome
An odd ball question but I’ve noticed that some Seamaster have a smooth S while some others have a jagged S, is there any reason for that?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
