Hi there i am new to this forum and was looking for some advice. I'm looking for a vintage Omega in decent condition. I love these watches I think they are classy, unique and just badass in general. I am searching for an authentic one in the $400 range and was wondering if either of these might be a good deal for that price range and if they are authentic. Also if anyone has one they would like to sell I would love to take a look

Thanks

Not a bad C-case 168.019 from the late 60's, although I'd want bigger & better pictures because I think the case is a little too polished. Certainly a good deal if bought under $400.

Even more of a gamble on an early 60's pre-De Ville front loading (monocoque / unishell) case. The damage is probably to the crystal, although it could be the dial too. There's already been a few offers so the seller might only be taking a bid close to his asking price.

 

Young eyes > old eyes. Nice spot Kyle.

 

got a couple more here i was looking at. Was wondering which one(s) would be worth purchasing and at what price.

thanks,

Just be aware of what you are getting into when buying one of the older Omega electronic watches, e.g. f300Hz series.

The movements in these are fairly reliable but extremely delicate if not treated correctly and repairs can be expensive and parts are becoming rarer by the day.

If you're after a nice vintage for daily or ocassional wear, you'd be better off with a manual (e.g. something with a 601 movement) or an automatic, but check here first as there were one or two auto movements that were "problematic".

 

It definitely helped i appreciate the insight and i might make a low ball offer on the last one if it seems to look authentic.

oh, and set yourself an avatar, before dsio gives you a Psy avatar!

 

I really like the look of this one. If you think its authentic and everything looks solid I would make an offer.

thanks,
