wanna know about this watch a little more, my first vintage, really need help. Is it authentic.

 

Do you have any photos of the dial? I can tell you it looks like it has been polished to death. What has your research discovered?

 

oh, shiny!

 

If you take it out in sunlight, you are going to blind someone

 

That's my kind of shiny Congratulations!

 

Did it come with a pair of sunglasses?

 

It's called NOS

 

Hi! I noticed that you originally posted about your watch here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-new-vintage.44721/

Now, you did post in the Modern Omegas sub-forum, and the members told you to come and post in here.

Those members can ALSO see this forum. In fact, every member can see every forum. So if you get some responses saying that "why are you posting this again" just smile sheepishly

In your other thread you posted a picture of a very refinished dial. I haven't seen jewels like that before...I tried to make the post into one but continued it in the next one.

 

Seller description - note the use of the words 'original' and it being a 'perfect vintage collectible'




Now, this is a nice looking watch. If you like it, wear it in good health. Most serious collectors would highlight the case being overpolished, the dial being redone, and @gatorcpa 's observstion that parts were all mixed up from donor watches. These things would detract from the value of the watch if you wished to sell it again later.

I think the tricky thing here is that you say that this is your first vintage watch, so I imagine that you have a modern watch or two and were fascinated by vintages. That's fine; just that in this case, your first vintage watch is a bit of a mess for most collectors, but perfectly fine on the wrist and a talking point amongst friends who admire your watch.

Just take it as part of the learning process - theres plenty of information on the forums to read up on and the private sales threads have plenty of watches being sold by members here.

 

The answer to that question is No. Here in the UK you are entitled to return any non-auction purchase in the same condition as you bought it for within 14 days for a refund. If having an authentic watch matters to you, my choice would be to do that. If that is not possible in Canada, you have two options: 1. Call it tuition fees - which EVERYBODY on here has paid at some time - and stay on this forum, learn about vintage Omegas and eventually buy a really nice one. 2. Enjoy your watch for what it is and don't do any research, because what you find out will probably end up upsetting you.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but it's my version of the plain unvarnished truth.

 

Thank you for the insight, and the honest opinion. I needed to hear it that. You are deff right I own a few modern watches. But the old vintage classic look is a beautiful thing. Lesson well learned, and I will enjoy it regardless.

 

Not harsh at all, thank you again.
