·Hi, so I'm brand new to this forum, and I have an opportunity to pick up one or more vintage Omega's from a friend of mine who runs a coin shop in town, who bought these several years ago. Unfortunately, I only got a single picture of each, but I was planning on going back and offering him something for these, but realistically, I don't need all three. Just looking for peoples' thoughts. I have two vintage Seamasters already from my father and grandfather (pictured below, too.. just for fun!) but definitely interested in thoughts on these other three pieces. I'm leaning towards the Speedmaster - and I really like the kind of rough look to it.
This one was my dad's watch - given to him by my mom on Christmas Day in 1971 (she had NO money, so her mom actually helped her pay for it).
And this one was my grandfathers, presented to him by Gannett Rochester Newspapers in 1978 after 30 years of service. I recently paid to get it serviced, as it wasn't running properly, and it's still not right, so it's going back in for some more help (at no additional cost, fortunately!).
I appreciate folks' thoughts about the other three watches and hopefully haven't gone against any protocols in this post!
