Hi All, I just joined this forum to discover the world of Omega and hopefully learn more about the craftsmanship, if you bare with me To start up I would appreciate advice on a possible first Omega purchase. Thanks in advance! Seller’s description: Omega Seamaster from 1971. Price: 500 EUR Untouched Omega in original. Just been through a service and works as intended. Original box and paper from purchase included.
Well if those are after service shots, the seller is a liar Dirty movement, gasket crap all over the place, crap and old dna all over the case front etc etc Not sure what you mean by papers either - an old newspaper cutting is not “papers”
Ok, so I guess the advice is to look at something else?! Thanks, but do you know if there is a thread describing what to look for to get an honest deal? The ‘paper’ seem to be of some kind of purchase in 1994. Doesn’t mean a thing.
You did well in investigating before you invested! That watch has potential in the right hands, but it most assuredly isn’t a €500 watch, in its present condition. Yuck!
Thanks, I did, but I guess I have a long way of sharpening my skills. Thanks for your appraisal. The hunt for my first watch goes on. I might start a new thread for people that want to help me with the hunt.
