Hi all you experts, I'm looking at this eBay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-195...416480496?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item27e937eaf0Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network I stumbled across your website in my search for a vintage Omega. Hoping someone could help me tell if it is real or fake? Thanks very much in advance!
Its real, not sure about the hands (if they are original), but I am sure someone else here could tell you. The dial is not in great shape but if you like it, you like it....
Definitely real, definitely feel hands are not original, wrong size and style, moisture problem on dial (2 o'clock) corresponds with tarnish area of movement reflecting a seal issue, some corrosion starting, long time since oiling, looks drier than a popcorn fart. parts watch worth $100+ Imho, unless you love it and are looking for a good-sized project.
Hands are fine, no lume dauphin style for a no lume dial, minute hand comes out to the minute/second track as it should. A work in the yard beater or as Buck says parts, too many issues to be sorted at a reasonable cost.
Thanks Norman, I felt hands color was wrong and too long going past markers, much to learn, my friend !
Thanks everyone! You guys are a wealth of knowledge! Ill keep looking I think. Sounds like an expensive overhaul.
Buy it for $200 and then put $200 in it and then you'll have a $250 watch. If you want a decent Omega, could you stretch to $4-500 ??
You can get a nice DeVille , manual wind or bumper for $400. Please send us pictures and ask questions before you buy. Good Luck, Brother !!
