Thanks a lot for the info. So anything under 4k is a bargain already I guess. Not the cheapest bargains
Maybe not the cheapest “bargains” if you compare them to any other watch but a bargain compared to Speedmaster with the same 321 movement 😉

These watches are wonderful and well worth owning for the prices they are going for. I recently sold mine (861) for $3,400usd and sold the bracelet separately.

There are currently a couple for sale on this forum
This one with a 321 movement

This gold one has been listed for sale for a year and honestly, likely won’t go anywhere anytime soon for several reasons.

And this 321 example sold not too long ago

I would say any Omega cal 32x for 3-3,5k range is a great bargain. Esp when it works too and doesn’t looks crap 😀

Hello everyone!

new to the forum!
Thank you for creating this thread. My father gave me his omega and I could never find any info on it until now.

he told me it was serviced before but don’t think it was an official omega servicing. Just wondering if all the experts here could shed light on if anything is incorrect with it?
He also threw out the original strap and clasp and wondering if anyone knows what the leather was like and clasp so hopefully I can find a replacement or something similar to it. There is a mismatched tissot strap on it now.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi everyone,

Are there any options available display caseback? I looked at spiralwinder but they don't show compatible ones for the .006.

No options that I know of. Need the have it custom fabricated. Someone in US asked 300$ I think. Maybe it was Spiral guy.

So, I shot my friend's 145.016 18k. Love it!
And another Estonian fellow collector got 145.006 18k. So, my turn soon. These are great watches for under 6k EUR.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but I thought it might be interesting to include a related variation that may have come from the same factory production line (or parts bin if you were being less generous.)



Lemania 1.jpg
Lemania 2.jpg

Reverse panda, radial subdials
Applied indices
Case diameter 38.3mm
Casebook Ref 9655
Movement serial no 30xxxxx
No calibre inscribed on the movement but it seems to be the Lemania equivalent of the Omega 861 - 1873?
Interestingly, it has the Omega logo embedded in the crystal, and a void space in the caseback where the hippocampus medallion would be on a Seamaster.
