It is really easy to buy a new watch, walk into the store, choose something then hand over your credit card.
It's not so quick and easy buying good vintage but it is a lot more fun. Assuming you enjoy the research and the hunt. First off, don't rush, there is always another coming down the pipeline. Next hang out for a while, check out the WRUW thread and keep an eye on the sales forums here. Anything on the sales forum that is not kosher or honest will generally be questioned by the members. If you want to keep looking on ebay, great but as you (correctly) did this time ask for input before you bid or buy. There is also a thread titled something like "what omega did you buy for less than $500" this will show you what can be bought once you have a bit more knowledge, another really important thread is "learn how to fish" loads of really beneficial info on that one.
Good luck and once again, slow down.
