New member, first time poster although I have been reading, learning on shopping the forum since before the holidays. Great information and people here, much like my P car forum. I am shopping for a 1958 birth year watch. Silver, cream or champagne colored dial with arabic numerals a dagger markers. 34-36mm steel case. I have been focused on the cosmetics while Iearn about the mechanics/movements.

I'd like your opinions on an ebay watch that is similar to a black one that just sold on OF. It is currently on eBayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network


Claim to be original and in good running condition, My first pass examine tells me it is. but being a noob I'm sure I missed somethng. If it is all original, is it for a fair price from a fair seller?

Thank You
Mike

 

A relatively small 30mm with worn dial/crown - (much) too expensive in my opinion.

rgds - h.u.

 

OMEGA looks awfully bold for a watch of that age, but can't see any error in it. Seems to be glue or damage around the 3 and 2 o'clock markers. See the specs on this here:https://www.omegawatches.com/planet...ache=1&cHash=4a0e0ea8012ad6b087a281a53f0da30e
And as a small watch, be sure it is an ok size for you to wear. Other wise you will give it to the wife or girl friend.

 

33mm in diameter is a bit small for a man.

 

This is my 14765 that I have been wearing for the past 3 weeks. It measures 1.25 (31mm-ish) inches excluding the crown. My wrist measures 8 (200mm-ish)inches. It is a small size, but it is a nice size to wear on my wrist. Yes I own larger watches and this took some time to get used too. But I do believe it is a good size as a gents watch Make your own determination about size.



I also bought a 2828, that is smaller than this and is sized more like a current large womans size. So that one is probably if I had to guess about 26-27mm. Not much difference, or so you would think.

 

I wrote "relatively small" because a bigger watch costs - usually - more than a small one (equipped with the same movement).
£445,00/590Euros is much too much for that size and condition.

 

I hear you on that. The watch above is probably the smallest I would wear. This one cost me $475, $300 for the watch, $175 for the service. USD of course for me. So unless this is something very rare, I too agree it is a bit over priced.

 

Great comments and observations. The watch has the looks I am looking for, but the size nor the price are right. Y'all have taught me patience and I hope to buy a watch from the forum sales. Here is my speedy


Thanks
Mike
