i dont know how to find out any info on my vintage ladies omega watch i cant find it anywhere on the net

 

Ahhh, the spice of life......... (the remarks not the information.....)

 

So, when you say not to polish, I take it you mean machine polish? Is there any harm in polishing at home with metal polish? I polish my Yachtmaster every two to three months and the grime and tarnish that come off the band are embarrassing! A little metal polish and the steam cleaner make my watch look pretty spiffy and not the least bit damaged or "thinner".

 

I also do that to my watches specially to silver cased ones as they oxidaze pretty quickly. I don't see any harm on that.

 

There's a big difference between 'polishing' and 'cleaning'. Do take the gunk & grime off. Don't remove the crisp edges.

 

Let me show you what one means by polishing and cleaning as explained by Dennis...

 

Hmmmnnn......good idea...great idea! Let's all buy watches (eventually) that we are too scared to wear, that we can put away until they are worn and scratched by people after we are dead... Watches are to be worn and enjoyed, not hoarded away. Buy what you like, regardless if it has it's original tag.

 

Speaking of which, are we going to have the privilege of seeing you post in the WRUW thread?

 

Great advise and input, I'm a newb and have been very care full not to get caught in the emotional buy! Feedback and advise like this highly regarded! Good stuff!!!

 

I would add,buy the best you could afford.

 

Hi, do you ever buy a vintage speedmaster pre moon w/out seeing the movement? Most times people don't show the movement but everything esle seems ok? Thank you

 

Ok, then it's not worth the risk in your opinion even though the seller states that it has the correct movement? If you do get a picture of the movement how can you tell if the movement is bad by looking at pictures if you're not a watchmaker? Sorry, if you think it's a dumb question to ask. I just became a member of nawcc and i want to be able to go to shows and know what to look for. Thank you

 

That is good to know. I know certain forums, some members beat you up because they think you should be more knowledgeable before posting questions. Thank you

 

Ok, that sounds reasonable. Do you just look at a 321 movement picture then study it and try to remember what it should look like then?
