    I suggest No Posts Without A Photo,
    Omegas only under $500, bought in 2017.

    I'll start:
    Arrived two days ago. Of course I know nothing about it, apart from it "bumps" and I like the dial.

    I don't think we will be seeing Mrs. Fruit's wrist rocking these.

    Found this Seamaster 30 yesterday priced at $300
    Has a bit of moisture discoloration at 11 and 3-5:00 + incorrect crystal
    Runs + keeps time-cannot open it so I haven't seen what's inside
    Haven't bought it but still thinking of doing so-anyone want it?

    $475 for a Seamaster DeVille with an interesting matte black dial.

    Well...

    [​IMG]


    :whistling::whistling:


    Also bought a cal. 551 SS Constellation which came in slightly more expensive than $500 (still a really great buy!) and a fantastic Tissot for around $150. Still surprised by how wonderfully underappreciated those Tissots are!


    It does look like it has some issues, doesn't it? :unsure:

    Just had a thought, it would be cool to change this thread to the "2017 $500 Challenge"...

    Have it be open to all watches, and at the end of the year, we can have a recap and a vote of some sort.

    Would be a lot of fun.

    I was chatting with a fellow member yesterday, and we were talking about the fact that hobby changes as you get into the higher end pieces.

    It sucks when $5-10k watches don't really get you going anymore.

    I still love theach hunt, ando enjoy picking up neat pieces at bargain.

    With a $500 limit, any member csn win!

    I did consider that, but following your point about how expensive some Omegas have become, I wanted to show that interesting and attractive Omegas can be found for under $500.

    The challenge part is implied already, no? We are all competitive types here....

    Unfortunately, I had to let it go as part of the divorce purge. Apparently, noobs aren't the only ones who can't read. I mistook the title to say 2016. God love anyone who has picked up an under $500.00 Omega in the last 6 days. DSCF0322.JPG

    I totally hear you, and saw the challenge for Omega. My thought was merely to open up to all watches.

    Would it be ok to start an overall challenge in the general forum? Didn't want to just do it without asking.
