Hi Guys,
I just found out about this forum after purchasing my first Omega watch from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/27103144417...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1973wt_1052. What do you think of this watch? Was it worth the purchase price?

Thanks - Daniel

the dial was redone so that destroys the value.

Well you could do better , but you could have done far worse. To a collector , worth about 250. To the general public, just looking for a watch to wear, 400-425. The plus's are a black dial is attractive, the hour markers are nice on that model, the movement looks in decent shape.

The Don Draper effect.

Spot on, this is the Don Draper look, and as such demand is increasing, and dealers are redialing to meet that demand. If you bought it to wear rather than as a collectible, you've got a good solid watch on your hand that looks great, its just not a collector watch.

all that watch is missing is a little butter and syrup to make it one fine omeggo

Thanks for the feedback. 😀

I am not too crazy about the hour markers though. I've been doing more research and I couldn't find another omega with similar markers.
