It would be a great idea for a Sticky so that we can have a nice database as a reference for vintage Omega timepieces which pictures or illustrates the watch, the crowns and the straps that were used on them. I originally thought if each member here pick a year and add it to the database it could be done in no time. I actually ended up doing everything myself as it was not as arduous a task as I thought and quite enjoyable too! Not often you get to "time travel" just sitting right in front of my computer screen.

Too bad the database didn't have the 1969 Life Magazine issues as i know they covered the space program in a big way. Enjoy! -Watchdog Last edited by Watchdog : 1 Day Ago at 13:55.
