2018-What Omega did you buy for under $500?

Seaborg

I have found this one last week for 250€ shipped.

I think it's a CK 2099 from the early 40's as shown on the following picture. To my knowledge, the "Fab. Suisse" writing means the watch was produced for the French market. I just love the bluish/purple hands 🥰.

Cheers.

Woop! Woop!

I just nabbed this on EBay. And as you'll probably ask, £397 + £13 = £410. Even better news is that because it's coming from within Europe, I shan't get the 20% Duty on value of goods and shipping when it lands in Britain.

"Omega dynamic men's watch, monobloc steel case, size mm. 41 excluding crown X mm. 37; hand-wound movement caliber 601 (not presented because the watch is absolutely new and never been opened) is working and precise; blue and silver two-tone sun dial with white graphics; buckle, strap and glass branded omega. The clock is original and coeval in all its parts, still with the labels of the manufacturer, it is an unsold inventory of official store omega, new, never worn, stored for over 40 years.
Unrepeatable opportunity !!!"

Following on from my purchase yesterday. It’s a circa1952 cal420 , movement seems in good condition

While the movement is in good condition, that dial has unfortunately been redone. Depending on what you paid for it, it's either worth the parts or overpriced.

Thanks for your comment . I’m intrigued re your observation re the dial . Could you enlighten me ? Cheers

If you look at the Omega font, it's not quite straight and evenly spaced between the letters. Some of the minute markers are longer/shorter than others.

A similar cased model looks more like this (courtesy of @François Pépin )

80% of my purchases are vintage Omega under 500 USD, if you find them in good condition are exceptional watches..😀

240$ 😀

Omega Seamaster ref. 14759 1 SC cal. 600 from 1960

I have put the strap on, cleaned it up, needs a new crystal, better matching Omega crown and looks like it could need a service (runs though) 😀
