Hello! As a proud owner of an vintage Seamaster I am looking for another alfa Omega watch in my collection So, which Connie would you recommend? I do not prefer golden watches, as I like steel one better. And what should I look out - if I maybe go on a watch fair and buy it? The prices on ebay are really different, from 400$ and up. For instance: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ome...986270547?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19d74c1753Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCARSE-VINT...989780105?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19d781a489Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network this is really nice, but black dials are forbiden, right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-SteelOMEG...516354502?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item53f07301c6Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network My price range is 1k$ + - . The most important thing is that it is a good buy ... Thanks, Jan p.s. On this place I have to say praise to respectable member Ulackfocus who helped me get my Seamaster. Respect!
First one is oke but dial is original but a bit aged. The next two are redials which I would avoid altogether. Connies are great watches but it is a minefield out there whether on auction at ebay or sold by a dealer.
I think the second one has the dial and case manufactured here <Link Removed> They named it "Panpie Dial"
Watch number one is the ONLY one I would consider, in spite of it not having a photo of the movement. It is the only one which does not appear to have been bastardized. Watch number two has a movement made from unrelated parts, the caliber 565 is not an adjusted movement and was NOT used in the Constellation. The black dial is suspect and the seller is know for selling bodged up junk like this. - AVOID! Watch number three is by far the worst of the lot, having not only a badly refinished dial but also an incorrect caliber 565 movement. - AVOID!
I was taking a serious look at the second "Scarse" one. Glad they pulled the listing. He said it was an original, untouched dial....
OK, only number 1 was OK. Number one went for only 430$, which is a 100$ cheaper than my Seamaster I think that this is a very reasonable price, what do you think?

I don't like the way the MEG are joined in Omega. I think we've had some posts on this before, but not sure. I'd suggest you look through the Recommended EBay Watches thread (it is a sticky in this forum) to get an idea of some nice watches
