·Greetings all,
This is the first of two vintage Omega watches I'll be listing. I bought both of them last year but since that time have shifted exclusively to vintage military watches.
This one is an early 1960s ref. 14707, solid 18K gold with linen dial. It's a terrific piece that looks great on the wrist. The following is from the original ad from last year:
----------
*Case measures 35mm and wears nicely as the bezel is thin. There are marks here and there due to age but overall it is in great condition. Crown, dial and hands are all original with signed crystal as well. This watch uses the 30mm caliber 267, manual wind. The 17.7M serial dates the watch to around 1960. Inside of caseback is marked 14707.
The watch comes on an 18mm croco grain strap in honey brown which I believe accentuates the gold case very nicely. The linen dial is subtle in most light but absolutely beautiful in the correct light as well as the gold AML.
I will also include the original black leather strap the watch came on at time of purchase with the original gold plated buckle.*
----------
The full original ad (with several pictures) can be found here:

I did have the watched checked over by my watchmaker a few months ago and he confirmed that it's in great shape and running well. I haven't worn it in a while, but I've kept it wound over the last week and it is keeping good time.
Note 1: The original black strap has partially separated on one side, but would be fully serviceable without much intervention.
Note 2: The small spots in the macro pictures appear to be dust particles that presumably made their way into the case when the watch was being serviced. When the case is tapped lightly, a couple of them shift places. They are not visible at all at arms length, but it would be an easy job to clear those out if you were interested in doing that.
My price is what I paid for it ... $1,250. However, I'll throw in the leather case shown in the pictures and will also cover shipping and PayPal fees. I have numerous references here at OF that I can provide on request.
Thanks.
