Looking to purchase a vintage Omega. This one looks like it is authentic. Any advice? I have been trying to read up on what makes a fake. This seller has good feedback and the watch looks nice and appears to have the correct case/movement. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/272887860026?_trksid=p2380057.m570.l6026&_trkparms=gh1g=I272887860026.N34.S1Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
It's a redial. My advice would be to try and buy something with a dial in original condition. If you are after a vintage Omega you would do better to find something in the Private Sales section of this forum. Ebay is a minefield for newbies.
Refinished dial kills value, just because resale black dials sell for a lot of money, they simply aren't worth the money paid. Stick around this forum for six months and learn before even thinking about buying a vintage watch.
A redial for sure. Be patient and keep reading what's available on this forum. You'll save yourself a lot of money.
At least the seller is honest enough to describe the watch as having a redone dial. Original black dials are difficult to find and usually expensive for this model.
Thank you all very much for the replies. I really appreciate it. I am continuing to try and learn all there is to look for in regards to fakes and redials etc. I appreciate the help. I will watch the classifieds here as well.
