·I am in the market for a vintage dress watch, ideally Omega.
The issue that I am having is that all of the ones I am seeing that I like are too small for my tastes. I appreciate that it is the nature of the beast with a vintage watch but are you guys able to recommend any that are on the larger size?
In terms of what I am ideally after:
- silver metal case (not sterling, just as opposed to yellow gold),
- preferably a lighter dial,
- applied Omega logo and ideally applied hour markers as well
- minimum of 37mm excluding crown
I have a feeling the 37mm may be an issue. @dsio kindly highlighted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381627606930?clk_rvr_id=1030862541606&rmvSB=true in the recommended thread. That ticked a lot of boxes but was just a tad to small (at 37mm inc crown).
In terms of price I would ideally like to keep it sub $1k.
Am I just going to have to suck it up and accept that watches in this range are mostly sub 37mm?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
