For those who do not know Chuck Maddox site, you find it here.  He is considered to have been one of the greatest connoisseurs of Omega timepieces and compiled probably the largest archive about vintage and neo vintage Omega watches.  He unfortunately passed passed away at a relatively young age.

You find a great article on Chuck’s site about the Omega Darth Vader.
