Re: Welcome & do you mean this ? *PIC*

In Response To: Welcome & do you mean this ? ()

Thanks Steve for the insights. Did not realize there were monocoque cases for vintage Omegas... makes better sense now.

Somehow i find the vintage connie as more wearable on a day-to-day vs the new AT... go figure :)

I managed to find an example I'm talking about from a Sales forum (not eBay). Sample pic as attached without permission (hope I won't upset the seller).

From an educational perspective (vs witchhunt to weed out un-original pieces), would a snapcase back for seamaster like this be reasonable?? (btw, it's the seller who described the case as snapback).

You can see that it's a temptingly nice piece in great condition. If not for comparisons with my vintage connie having a screwdown case, I'd likely have gotten it.

best regards
Sammy
