: Remember the 561 and 564 are essentially identical except for the
: 564's push/pull date setting mechanism. Thus, the OVD listing
: could apply.
The date setting mechanism is of the pull/push type.
: I included it because:
: 1) it was the other instance of the case number 160.017 in the OVD;
: and
: 2) it had a retail price for a stainless steel watch, which is
: suspected yours was, based on your purchase price.
: While you have far more information available from Omega than any
: other manufacturer, please remember the OVD is generally, not
: absolutely, correct; and Omega had so many variations and
: modifications among the millions of watches that they sold
: worldwide that the OVD cannot begin to completely cover all the
: many specific examples.
: I agree with your conclusion, that you may have gotten a good price
: on a gold-filled watch (the amount of gold Omega included far
: exceeded plating).
Thank you again. I must add that I always find your comments interesting - not only when commenting on my watch.
