hi all, here are my 2 pie-pan Connies - a smaller 14395, and a larger 168.004.

Both were acquired from forum members, ditto for the BOR bracelets. I love BOR bracelets! And crosshairs too...

Yup, that was the watch I bought from Adam. I took the post title at face value and always thought it was a 14395. You're right - the caseback actually says 14393 :oops: D'oh!
Yep, I got the same cross-hair pie-pan 14393, but if you'd looked up 14395 you might have been on to something else...;)

US Army pie-pan connie? That's quite unique. The Speedies fought in VN and the Connies stood guard on the iron curtain. If the original seller had known and posted this bit on their eBay auction then, they would've got quite a bit more for it,

Interesting! I've got the above cross-hair pie-pan for a while and haven't bothered to look it up. Mine is just 452 numbers off yours.

Nice idea! Maybe before we can have a database on OF, a thread like this for every line of Omega watches that could contain pictures of as many variances as possible would be a great source for researching and referencing!

Well I guess this would have to be included too! I know it's certainly not one for the purists but I have five of these, three Marine Chronometers and they are all Connies
