Looking for some help with vintage omegas. Last thread someone said that most 5xx movements are in the GOAT line for being fantastic production omega movements. I’ve been looking at a few vintage omegas and the three dial and case combinations that have caught my eye use a 601, a 620, and a 511 movement. I havnt had a lot of luck finding technical documents comparing and contrasting these models. Also these are manual wind not automatic and I can’t compare the two 6xx models to the specific automatic 5xx models that were posted last thread. Anyone have experience with these movements / know where to find resources that will help me?

Got a new strap for this to replace the uncomfortable default one

It shouldn't, it's terribly good looking.

>literally every other item is a watch
Anyone ever bought one of those kickstarter-funded watches?
Much like the rest of that site it all seems like vague high-concept ideas that are difficult at best to realize, but I was wondering if anyone actually bought one of those and if it's decent.
