Advice on vintage quartz Omegas

[theboywhoeats]

Hi guys, my grandpa really loves omegas, he has a sea master from 1960 and I wanted to get an omega to be just like him. I have found these listings, but I’m not an expert on such watches as I normally buy beater Casios, so I thought you guys may be able to help me check out these watches to make sure they are no nasty surprises.

Also, if you guys could provide me with some quartz models under 1k from omega that would be most appreciated

The items from your links are missing.

I see them but, possibly because I am also on eBay UK. The first looks like it's had a hard life and it doesn't look a good buy because of that. The second looks a nice watch although I didn't study it in detail as I don't know that model very well. It seems a lot of money to me.

If you want opinions from people, post high quality images as often some won't bother clicking on a link. You can download from eBay and then post them here.

Have you looked at the private sales forum here? You may get a better buy from someone well known on the forum.

Good luck, Chris

I suggest you seriously consider this watch:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/★om...eta-2892-2-ref-368-1051★.137904/#post-1879241

It is has an automatic mechanical movement (like your grandfather's). The watch has a recent service and should be good for some years. Mechanical watches are way cooler than quartz. Price is under 1000gbp. Send the seller a PM if interested.
