My friends wife is getting 50 and he asked me if I could find a 2,5k euro 34mm rolex with steel bracelet for her. So last week I've searched for two days (in europe). Did'nt find any decent example.
Shame you didn’t still have that black dialed Prince you gave away a few months ago- I was thiiiiis close 🤦
What about Tudor’s of the same era. Back when they were made by Rolex with Rolex parts? The vintage ones that look better than most of their lineup today lol
It’s one of the unfortunate downsides of Rolex that entry level really doesn’t exist anymore, and while there are affordable Tudors I honestly couldn’t justify buying most of them when for the same money Omega offers far more attractive watches with better movements in the 50s / 60s era.
That’s just my personal view mind you but a Cal 751/752 or Cal 552 or similar Seamaster is a whole lot of watch for the money.
Yeah I like omega’s the Most. I am just trying to pick the forum’s minds on what’s best for what price since I am new
As Ash said, you get more bang for the buck with vintage Omega. A 166.010 Seamaster is about the same form factor as a 34mm Oyster Perpetual date (OPD), but the Seamaster is less clunky-chunky, far sexier and about 1/3 the price. A 166.010 in excellent shape with bracelet can be had for less than your $1k target price.
Thank all y’all very much for the advice like I was saying above I would love to get my hands on an older Seamaster like this: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-seamaster-day-date-cal-752.26931/ for around $1,000
Absolutely do-able, and they pop up on the private watch sales here in the regular. You don’t need 200 posts to PM a seller and start a conversation.
