Hello again! Another example that I am considering is this 168.024. I'd be very grateful for your feedback and insights.

Thank you!

What does your research show, and what are your insights?

What knowledge do you seek?

 

Hmm--well, I'm not sure that I have many insights of my own, as I am pretty new at working with vintage watches altogether. But I'll venture what I think, based on my attempts to learn more (be kind): it seems to me that this is a very attractive example of a 168.024. The dial strikes me as very clean. The case shows some wear--but nothing out of the ordinary for a 50+ year old watch. Up close, some of the dings on the lugs look pronounced. I imagine that in daily wear, they wouldn't stand out. The owner says that the watch is likely due for a service, but that it runs very well now. I don't know how to assess the movement.

For context (and this relates to your second question): I am looking for a 166.010 or 168.024 (on BOR bracelet) that I can wear as not so much a daily, but fairly regularly.

Does anything pop out when you look at the watch?

Thanks!
Chris

 

I think it looks like a very nice watch. As you say, it’s over 50 years old nut I can see nothing that would put me off - depending on the price.

 

The watch look very nice in my opinion. I am not an expert. The bracelet of the watch is Omega?

 

Thank you, Spruce. I appreciate your feedback. The seller is asking $1000 for this watch: does that sound ok? (and he has said that, while it will probably need a service soon, it is running very well.)

Hi Ocean, thank you! Yes--I didn't include a full bracelet shot, but it is an Omega BOR.

If the bracelet is a genuine Omega, then I’d reckon it’s a decent deal.

 

Thank you!

That is a good deal, indeed. If you don't take it, tell me where it is.
