Hi guys,

Im willing to buy a vintage watch and Id like to be an omega, I found this one, is it genuine?, the seller says that its everything is genuine except the crystal, also told me that the dial has been repainted..., what do you think?





thank you!

Kind Regards.

 

At least he was honest and told you it was a redial. Id carry on looking for one that hasn't been refinished personally. The fact its been redialled will knock the price quite significantly.

 

thank you Terry, he told me that the dial's metal is the original, it's just repainted, I was confused because I've never seen an "s" like that in "seamaster". the total price of the watch is about 250 EUR, is it worthy?

Kind Regards.

 

Do you have any pics of the caseback or the movement?

 

A Redialed watch is worth the price of a complete watch, less the cost of a new, old dial.
A redialed watch is not desired by those who like vintage watches - unless they happen to have a spare dial.
Its very hard to value.
How fast is my horse? If it had all four legs....

 

Although 250 EUR is considered cheap for a vintage Seamaster i think you would be disappointed if you bought this. Just from the pictures you have posted, id say its had a fairly heavy polish, the crown looks to be a replacement, the glass is non original, its a redial, and the strap doesn't fit it. I think id look for a better example.

 

I dont have pic of the movement, here is the caseback, its really scratched, you can barely imagine the seahorse



here the crown



thank you for sharing your knowledge guys

regards.

 

Im not into vintage watches so much, but I like the watch and I would be using an strap of my own, I just do not want to overpay once I know is not a fake watch. the seller says is a cal 1022

 

do you believe is it worthy for 250 EUR?

 

I personally avoid anything goldplated like the plague. Steel, or gold. I don't like watches pretending to be something they're not, plus they damage easily and ugly...ly?
