Hi again,

I am curious if this 14714-61-SC Model Cal. 285 from around 1961 is any good. The Omega Database proves existence and there is much info around looking like this model.
Seems though the movement is a bit dirty and needs to be serviced and some screws are missing(?). See pics attached.

Thanks for your feedback & help!

 

If you like the simple look of the dial and the alpha hands, you can try on those 285's in 9ct gold cases. They look better with better case materials.

 

I live in Seoul so I was mainly looking there without actively hunting on Ebay, Chrono24 or other places.

Indeed, Koreans are usually very status concencious and for that very reason the brand is more important to them than the original condition of the watch. It also seems that generally they do not care as much about proper watch condition as people in Europe or the US.
Also it seems the term "original" for them refers to anything that is originally from that brand e.g. original crown means for them "put any omega" crown on it and make it work. Also prices for a Vintage Omega range from 300 to 1000USD even for models that probably in real collector eyes like in this Forum would be very average condition.

Through my current pitfall with the Seamaster 30 I got here (Curious how this will turn out...) I learnt a lot.

Will leave my fingers from this model then after this evaluation - Thanks!

 

Thank you for your suggestion!
I truly like this design. Just have to find a good and reliable source for it I guess .
