Hello Friends,

I am going to buy one omega automatic geneve watch with calibre 565. It is probably from the year 1972 or 74. It has original omega logo in its glass. Would like to get your expert advice based on it i shall either buy or discard. I am not a trader and would like to continue with it for self only.

Thanks
S Dhar

 

If it were me I'd wait for a better example to come around. This one looks to be quite polished with an (imo) unattractively patinated dial. These are fairly common and a good example can usually be gotten at a decent price. I like the applied Omega symbol version better too, the one in the old style.

 

what about this one?

 

The dial is horrid on the first watch. Pass. The bracelet's kind of interesting though.

What do you think about the second. It's a very different style/era to the first. Do you just want any old Omega? Seems like you might need to nail down your preference first.

 

Good advice. Lots of "I'm looking for a vintage Omega..." without any explanation why.

 

I am looking for an old automatic or hand winding omega. May be from the year 1960 to 65. For personal use only. Do u know anybody selling such one in an original and good condition. Pl. Reply.

 

Search the internet like the rest of us do. Is that reply sufficient?

 

sorry sir. I didnt ask you. However i wl bear ur reply in mind.

 

Sorry but that's not a reasonable request. There's are literally hundreds of models that fit that criteria and this forum isn't a vintage watch brokerage.

If you want to post pics of pieces you're considering, along with your thoughts, that's absolutely fine. Basically saying "hi, find me a watch", isn't.

 

Here is one PM the seller

Boss thanks for the link. But the crown has come out of the palace already. What wl i do with this?

 

Take it to a watchmaker to get checked out, like you should do when you buy any vintage watch.

 

Get it serviced as any vintage watch you buy WILL need a service

It's a hell of a lot better than the two you showed

 

So ultimately i got the right person. Just help me with the right forum where i shall get the reply positively. I sl nt disturb u people.

 

You have the right forum but you have to listen to good advice.

You have to look at for sale adds as no one is going to find watches for you.

The watch I linked above is a good buy and the crown can be fixed when you get a service ( as vintage watches need a service if you just buy it )

 

Where can i get the sell adds. I m nt getting it. How to go to that forum. Just guide me. I wl nt disturb u.
