Greetings all. Happy to be here. I am sorry to say I do not currently own an Omega. I sold my 1950s seamaster about 10 years ago. The watch repairs shop quoted me approx $300 for repair if they could find the parts. I let it go on ebay for less than $200. Sellers remorse is now intensified by the amazing increase in the worth of such a watch. My shopping experience to become a proud owner again has me worried about frauds and fakes. Where better to seek advice about my selection process. Thank you all in advance for your assistance.

 

Welcome aboard!

Welcome buddy! Hera are some advise....buy what you like and learn before you buy....

 

Welcome.. a wealth of knowledge on OF. So watch prices have risen and repair costs have not decreased. Are you now willing to spend $300 on a service and buy a watch?
