    Is 1959 not the year of manufacture as indicated in the OP. ? Anyway, it is indeed a lovely thing. Is this the original condition or has it had a refurb ?

    The strap suits it, highland seems quite appropriate too (highland gent on his estate).

    Is it 34mm?

    Lovely watch, am only getting to watches but have found myself looking at a lot of vintage Omegas. Slightly put off from buying second hand basically down to not knowing what to look out for but I'm sure it will come with time.

    Apart from a service, it's all original

    Nice!!

    I do love a vintage Omega!!!
    I think Ive owned and sold, about 20plus vintage Omega Seamasters maybe I should just keep one as for the money they really are a top purchase!!!

    Well done!!

    Pretty, isn't it

    I do, I've owned this for around ten years and it's still my favourite watch, it just seems right for any occasion
