Ordering Omega's through O & W, Back in the Day...

I've added a new page Ordering Omega's through O & W: Back in the day... which has digitized images of a flyer for ordering Omega watches through Ollech & Wajs. I'll point out that since the back of the flyer has a Speedmaster Mark II Professional, this flyer probably dates from 1969 or later... I'll also note that while there is a Speedmaster Pre-Pro (probably a 105.003) pictured, the descriptive text clearly states: Speedmaster Professional. Interestingly enough, the price quoted is the same for a Moonwatch as a Mark II... I should warn you, the prices are enough to make one Cry! Enjoy! -- Chuck

New "Competitors" section added to my article index!

Back in the spring, I suggested over at OTD one day we ought to do a Scan Day of "Competitors"... In other words, side-by-side pictures of watches that when in production were in direct (or indirect) competition with one another. Since then I've added to the five initial competitors comparisions I did back in March. But I had not really archived the posts until recently, and I didn't have any listing pointing to those archives... Yesterday I added a new section in Purple at the bottom of my article index: The archived presentation is very minimalist and no-frills, but I thought I'd point out this new addition to my site! Here is a listing of the current list of "Competitors" posts: Heuer Autavia v.72 vs. Omega Speedmaster c.321 Heuer Carrera v.72 vs. Omega Seamaster c.321 Heuer Autavia v.7736 vs. Omega Seamaster c.861 Heuer Carrera l.5100 vs. Omega Speedmaster c.1045 Heuer Audi Sport l.5012 vs. Certina Audi Design Quattro v.7750 Omega Speedmaster c.861 vs. UG Space-Compax v.72 Omega Speedmaster c.861 vs. UG Compax v.72 UG Space-Compax v.72 vs. UG Compax v.72 I'm confident it will grow as time goes by...

Important Matter: Ordering materials from O & W

I've added a new page Important Matter: A packet of ordering materials from O&W which has digitized images of a packet of information for ordering watches through Ollech & Wajs dating to 31 March 1970... There are a number of Ollech & Wajs chronographs as well as at least one Enicar Sherpa-Graph (a pair of GMT watches, one a Chronograph) in the catalog listing. Also included is a price list and a letter from the Export Manager of O&W... I should warn you, the prices are enough to make one Cry! Enjoy! -- Chuck
