Hi Everyone, brand spanking new member here!
Have really loved reading various threads on the forums. I currently own a Seamaster Planet Ocean & Omega Constellation. Looking at getting into vintage Omegas as i really love the look and history of them. I have been doing my research but i honestly don't have enough knowledge or experience to pull the pin on my first purchase. Here in Australia, we aren't exposed to the wonderful world of vintage watches etc, so would like the opinions on a few watches i have been looking at.
Long story short, a friend of mine introduced me to someone who said they have 30+ vintage omegas. He said that his dad and friend owned a watch repair store in Malaysia back in the 80s, and they were contracted to provide repair/services during the 50s-60s to the British Army. When the British left, they left behind large stock and parts etc. He claims that parts should all be authentic and they may be put together hence extra seconds hands etc. Here are various photos of part of his collection.
I would like to know if they are indeed authentic, if they are considered good and desirability of these timepieces if they are original. Thank you for your time and i look forward to hearing back
