Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

 

Can you please point me towards the "FS Section"? New to the forum......sorry. And thanks again!

 

I have purchased several watches using the For Sale thread here with excellent results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are a few...

14k cal. 500, circa 1954


14381-2 cal. 551, circa 1961


136.011 cal. 611 circa 1964


2767 cal. 354 circa 1954


2577 cal. 352 circa 1952


3594.50 cal. 1861 circa 1999


These were all on the For Sale thread since May of 2013...MANY incredible watches to be had here and this is just a few of what was available. You wont find better prices at any brick and mortar watch dealer either! (I've tried) The watches offered for sale, on this forum, are of a consistent quality that i have not seen elsewhere!

Just my two cents...

 

Another in favour of the fs section or if you know what you are after the wtb

 

My vote also goes to FS forum in here. Followed closely second to Ebay guided by our recommendation thread for Omega Vintage.

 

Other than the FS section, there are reputable dealers out there but you have to bear in mind that they are a business and need to make a profit margin as well as cover overheads.

Where you are located in the world will help members guide you to them.

 

I'm located in Kansas City. thanks.

 

Hi rebecca1,
I live in the Kansas City area as well. I found a really pleasant shop in downtown Parkville. It's called Cool Vintage Watches. I stopped in there on a Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago. The owners name is John Putnam, he's a nice guy and willing to show you anything you'd like to see. Web site coolvintagewatches.com

 

What gorgeous pieces!! I will keep my eye on the FS section now, too! And

 

Thank you...there are some real nice pierces there right now!

 

Hi Rebecca, Hi Scott,
I'm east of Columbia, halfway to St. Looey. Welcome to the forum! Now, where exactly is this cool shop in Parkville?
Seriously, if you want to search on your own, whether shops or ebay, post pictures and info here before you buy and you will get world class appraisals and advice and it will only cost you some friendship and some courtesy. The members here are devoted to watch collecting and are extremely supportive of any honest, civil person with interest in this fascinating hobby.
Browse through the old WRUW threads in the OPEN CONVERSATION forum and you will see the coolest watches in the world!
Once your tastes have been determined, it becomes very easy at first to find the first watch........then it becomes very difficult to find the last watch!

It's like my friend says about booze, one is too many.... and a case is not enough!

Hi Uncle Buck,
The store is located in old downtown Parkville by the river. On the east side of the main drag. He has a lot more watches than he has posted on the web site. He has a large selection of straps as well as other collectables like vintage audio equipment, records and old cameras. I live in Blue Springs. Have a daughter in school at Mizzou and one that just graduated from there in May.
Regards from a fellow Missourian,
Scott

 

Thoughts on this watch - hope the pic is sufficient

 

Looks like a nice Seamaster Pro, hard to tell much from low resolution picture. Looks good from this distance but so would my mother-in-law.
Can you get better photo's ?
Try for dial close-up, caseback , inside caseback and the movement if you can. Just like a car, it's hard to judge without a close look and checking under the hood.
Don't feel like you are imposing on the seller, this is a normal request in this field. If they hesitate to provide info, be fearful they may be covering something up. After all, this is no Timex, we are talking serious money.

One last thing, watches of this era are often discussed on the "Modern" Omega forum, click "Forums" button on top, and then modern.

I admire your taste even though I favor the older birds.
