Hello!

First of all, my name is Niko, i am new here so Hello and Servus from Austria.
I fell in love with Omega a long time ago as i saw them regularely on my dads wrist but it needed a little more time to have some by my own. I am looking forward to a good time here

I would need some help with a few Vintage Omegas i got as i am also new with getting into the deeper watch game so especially the vintage world is even more "tricky".

I hope its okey when i upload a few pictures and hope some of you can tell me informations about them.

Thank you very much!

Hi Niko and welcome!
May I ask a couple of questions.
Are you looking for a watch to wear daily or just occasionally?
How important is it to be all-original and collectible to you?
Do you have a budget in mind?
Which watch is your favorite?

Quartz watches aren't followed here very much and I know little about them, others may join us with opinions.
The last watch is a little older with a mechanical movement but has had the dial worked on and wouldn't interest a purist collector. However, it could look very nice to the casual wearer or observer.

May I recommend that you visit here for a while, give us some ideas as to your goals and then entertain some suggestions?

Have fun!

Hey @UncleBuck and @jeppe888 , thanks for your comments.

Yes, i own all of these watches. I got them from a friend and since he couldnt tell me the exact models i thought i will ask somewhere where i might get help - and so here i am!
I am curios about the year they are made and maybe model numbers because they are old and maybe have an interesting history.

I will definitely join the forum regularely to get more knowledge.

Thanks

And yes, at the moment i am just having fun by wearing different models and looks of watches. So building a valuable collection isnt the main focus right now!

Hi Niko!

In many cases you can identify a model only if you open the caseback. Inside there is a reference number for identification.

If you do an online picture search with "Omege Seamaster Quartz / de ville) you will find similar examples to your watches and you can learn more about them.

The fourth watch is more interesting to collectors but the dial seems refinished.

Have fun with your watches!

The first 3 watches look to be essentially the same, other than variations in the case/dial/etc. The second has been relumed. You have to ask yourself if you want 3 watches that are essentially the same in your collection, or if you would rather keep the one you like the most and sell the others to buy something else. I like the looks of the first one the best.

I also like the 4th one, and even if it has had a redial, it would be a nice watch to wear and enjoy once you have it serviced.

Hi, yes i also thought these lume dots dont look original - dont know why someone does that but okey.. i also like the first one the most, the dial has a nice structure in it!
Maybe ill sell some of them when i found out what they are exactly.

the fourth has a really nice charme. its around 1960 thats what i found out so far and its really cool that it works flawless
