Hi all,

Was given this as a gift a few years ago, co-incidently at the same time I hit 10 years at my job and was given a new TAG Aqua Racer which I have worn for the past few years. Now I feel I prefer the Omega that has been sitting in my drawer but would like to know something about it. I can tell the winding pin is not original , but don't know about the rest. Price paid was US$350 about 5 years ago. It has an automatic movement, not a bumper, (although seems to gain about 5min per day). It is gold plated on the front and steel on the back. I would like to know the model number so I can order a nice leather strap (where is best to by these onLine?)

Appreciate your input. Also, my wife has taken an interest, although I can't find any vintage Omegas that she likes, what sites would you recommend to look for vintage ladies watches? And what brands hold their value (around the us$500 -us$700 mark)

Thanks for your time,

Adam

Strap size is almost definitely 18mm, and if its 5 minutes off per day its likely due for a service

eBay is full of ladies watches, some are great deals because they are not particularly collectible items compared to the ones wee seek.

Unless they are of special intertest, they hold their value even less than gents watches, but there are some nice little treats out there.

Cheers
