    What I paid on my two Omega vintage watches I could of paid a bit more and got a 10 yr old modernish Seamaster. But I like my 1962 Seamaster and 1969 Geneve.

    They are just within the Swiss golden age of watch making. Virtually all companies produced in house with Swiss or at least high quality engineered components. Even my red Omega presentaction box from the 1960s was swiss made.

    '55 18K automatic, always wanted a classy gold watch...... I'm happy as hell with it and if I had to have only one it would do me fine.

    No doubt. Vintage watches have history and heritage.

    Friendly message to new members: this is not WUS, we don't wear vintage watches in the shower, we own way more than one watch, we don't match watch owners to cars, we don't try to match particular watch ownership to jobs or professions and we can read the operating manuals for our watches.

    Otherwise, feel free to swear, take the piss, discuss prices, educate yourselves and other forum members, and conduct honest & transparent watch sales/purchases.

    Rant over :p

    Actually, on WUS the title of this thread would be something including a zombie apocalypse. ::screwloose::

    This thread is bringing down our signal to noise ratio.

    Oh, Warren - you forgot to mention the threads about "Most Overrated" and "Most Underrated" brands and all the related threads that have a face off between two brands, as in "TAG versus Omega" and such.

    Thank goodness we haven't had a "Rolex Vs Omega" thread here yet. Sanity still prevails...
