    Just bought my first old Omega and love it. Wasn't overly expensive so would love some honest opinions from those in the know. Looks great on my wrist and runs well so not the end of the world if someone tells me it's a half baked re-dial! IMG_3791.JPG

    Not totally sure what that means but will take it as a positive!

    Why do you think it has been redial?

    Nah I didn't was just trying to invite people to be honest. I'm not an expert in these matters. Got the watch from what felt like a fairly reliable source so should be ok.

    It looks fine to me also. This is why I was wondering. :)
    So, enjoy your newest Omega! ;)

    Good news. The strap is a bit ratty. Seems to be two parts of different straps. If anyone knows anywhere to buy a nice strap let us know.

    What type strap you want?
    We enablers have plenty of suggestions
    But need an idea of style you want

    Am looking for a dark brown vintage look leather number. Obviously an omega buckle would be nice but presume the options there are either expensive authentic or a poor quality copy so happy to forgo that if necessary.

    Yeah not bad. Almost don't mind spending a bit more for something slightly better quality. Got some replies for websites on another thread so will have a look round those.
