    Dear Forum,

    I have been researching vintage Omega's over the last 6 months and am keen to buy my first one, I have been looking on eBay and seen various pro's and con's...

    I was wondering if anyone could give me an opinion on the below;

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Se...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Best wishes & thanks in advance

    Hey. The experts will chime in shortly with the advice you're looking for. But you'll make their lives a lot easier if you post pics of the watch/watches directly in this thread. It saves people jumping back and forth between tabs. Also if you've specific concerns about a piece state them here. It gives folks a guide on where to focus particular scrutiny. Good luck.

    Thank you for the advice @Dedalus05 have posted pics as advised of the watch in the second link (which is the one I am favouring). I am just after general opinions on whether people think this looks to be genuine. Looking on Chrono24 reviews of seller are all positive & they authenticate.

    Also woth addig it is priced at just under £800 and dates to 1958. Caliber 501, Jewels 20

    Following all the advice on this Forum people seem to regret buying then asking, so here I am asking before buying :)

    The ebay seller is known for repainting dials and overpolishing cases. The chrono24 watch is a redial. I can tell from the spacing of the minute markers and the fact that the seller said it is. Take your time and continue your education. You'll find the right watch.
