then I'm pretty sure I will enjoy it, too: A 1952 Ad. And Thanks to my ENABLER friend, Ian: Incoming! Hopefully this week. Got it from the same eBay seller, from where he got the beautiful little CYMA which I saw last week. Soon to be my only non-Omega watch! Cheers, Carl

Photo of actual watch on eBay. From what I can see of similar models, I expect it to be about 33-34mm:

aquajoeThis one was never lumed at all, and I don't think it's in that ad. Here's a pic of the dial, which looks to be in lovely condition. If it's anything like the CYMA that Ian got from the same seller, the condition is way better than in the photos. I love it already. Simple dial, and the light blue hands. And it's a manually wound piece. I am guessing gold plated, regardless it will be my only gold watch!

Happy to enable this one Carl, she is a lovely seller and very honest with her descriptions. My little Cyma keeps fantastic time and is beautiful. As you know I very much liked the look of this one so am very much looking forward to seeing it. She is really prompt on shipping so it will b on it's way to you tomorrow so my guess is Monday next week as it will take a day to get to Mississauga then about four days to Richmond. I notice she has just put some more up. I know she said to me her late father had hundreds of watches!
