Omega experts,
Are new Omegas much better made than the old ones were? I've owned a couple of vintage ones and several very recent models. It really seems to me that vintage Omegas are generally a good value.
Is the quality of a modern Omega a notable improvement over the quality of a vintage one? I'm especially interested to know about movements. I can better judge the fit and finish of the case, hands, dial, crown and other visible components of any watch whether vintage or modern. But are modern movements notably better than vintage ones?
Here is a comparison, maybe not a great one. But these are 2 I have on hand.
This is my manual wind from the mid 70s (as far as I can tell) with 625 movement. I guess market value might be $175?
This is my Planet Ocean, maybe worth $2500 used?
