Hi i am buying a watch for my best friend. I am buying on a budget so dont scold me if its quartz.

Could fellow watch family help to see if everything thing is ok? Like it is not redialled.

Thank you!!

The watch is real but the strap is fake, not a good sign.

What is your budget? What style are you going for?

Not a model I have any interest in so I haven't studied them.

Wasn’t being rude.
Was trying to help and know the price as I wouldn’t want you to over pay.

This watch is one of the cheaper watches to buy compared to a mechanical.

So the watch should be cheap, and it’s a nice jesture.

Good. If you don't need our help, don't ask for help. Short reminder: you post on the VINTAGE omega forum. This is not a free validation service. If advice is given like in your case, take it and be happy. Combative does not work here. And regarding ticking boxes: you do not tick the box for politeness. The fact, that you have an internet connection does not entitle you to answers. And if you get answers, thank the ones, who gave you an answer, for their time. Easy. Kind regards. Achim

Cheap = budget in my country


cheap

adjective

1. 1.
   low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services.
   "local buses were reliable and cheap"

Didn’t call you cheap so lighten up.

Caseback indicates that it should have a 20 micron gold plated bezel.
Doesn't look gold plated to me.

And some advice.
Buying a watch with an ancient quartz caliber is risky and could cost more that the watch if things go wrong.

The reason I asked budget is that I think there are better options out there.

Orient watches. Seiko 5’s, and some others will give you more bang for the buck then an obscure quartz watch that will have issues being serviced.

@STANDY was trying to help there was no insult in what he said.
