Hello,i am interested in buying this beauty but being a vintage watch that i have no idea about ,some help and info would be really helpfull,does it look a genuine ?

Thanks,being a poor student with a limited budget and with a love for everything vintage ,i have to be extra carefull

 

What are your own observations ?

 

Welcome. Since you're a student, you're no stranger to educating yourself. Start here https://omegaforums.net/threads/learn-how-to-fish.52603/

 

Well besides from finding it beautifull,by doing a quick google search of the referance number i cant seem to find any gold capped pieces with with the 1SC on their referance number

 

thanks will dig into it,but still any help would be appreciated

 

Looks ok to me at first glance. I'd need to do more research to determine if the crown is original, if that is important to you. Obviously, the dial has some staining.

 

Thanks,i guess the crown would not be a deal breaker for me

 

I like the watch but of course it all comes down to price. If you're a poor student you better look for a good deal. How much is this watch?
I believe it's a 2846?

 

yeah its listed as a 2846,seller is asking for 550 euro which is stretching my budget a bit.What do you think about the price?

 

It looks to me like it's rose gold capped and the (wrong) crown is in yellow gold. Short (broken?) seconds hand too.

€125-150 just to fix those problems.

 

Yes, the sweep hand,

 

Is that the price to get the right crown and new second hands too? Are they even still available? And im guessing the price doesnt include the labour of the watchmaker too,right?

 

Yeah i didnt even notice it before you and cristos71 mentioned it

 

Hi I suggest you do your watch shopping here on our sales section. Better chance of getting a nice vintage watch that's authentic.

 

Btw just saw that the seller says that the crown is an original omega from a newer model

 

It's the price for an experienced collector to complete the project with no labor costs. It could cost quite a bit more for you, and take a lot of time and trial and error. I'm not sure that's something you want to do for your first watch, unless the watch is dirt cheap. And based on the fact it's listed on C24, I'm guessing it's more likely overpriced instead of cheap.

 

Yeah i will definitely start looking here,i just thought it would be a nice opportunity since the seller is from my country and i would avoid tax and fees,for some reason i find a bit hard to get a nice deal in EU

 

If you really want a solid vintage Omega check the sales section later tonight as we will be listing our 50's Turler fully serviced and cheaper than you will be able to shape up that watch you posted!

 

Yeah i would totally prefer to avoid messing around with it by myself,i guess i have to hold myself until i find a better deal cuz it seems the watch will come with some costs that i cant afford right now,or maybe that they are not worth it

 

Thanks,i will for sure,maybe i might find something that i like even more,all thought what i think really draws me to the watch is the case shape and lugs
