OZZIEs
·Hi All ,
I recently purchased a vintage Omega and wanted to give an update as you helped me making my decision.
To start the watch cost me £500, i purchased the watch through a ebay store from japan and was told the the watch had been serviced and keeping time + 17 seconds which from my two days seems to be about +15 is so not that different .
The overall condition was in the seller opinion to be good to average, it is definitely not perfect but in the flesh it looks really nice nothing overly used looking.
I paid import tax which is was expecting but on review on the sale page it was listed but was an oversight.
I have 2 issues with the watch first being that the BoR bracelet is slightly to small and will need 2 extra links the other being the crown feel very small and difficult to wind but when winding has a crispy click feeling very crunchy and feels very nice.
The dial in person is hardly notice able but does have some patina and a silvery lemony hue with a shimmery effect which against the slight blue flame hand and silver batons with a diamond cut look literally looks something quality and beauty.
The overal look has a diamond cut look and the case is not overly polished and has a geometric feel with nice round bezel.
The calendar is gold with the same geometric shape and fits in perfectly.
I have seem a video on YouTube with the same exact watch but in 36mm and was said the this is a japanese market Omega watch .
The back of the watch and overall case has crisp lines and not shiny more satin look there is no logo on the crystal so im guessing this is a replacement.
As a bonus the watch can in a Omega box but not sure if this is original or from another watch.
The watch in my eyes is beautiful but not a collectors condition but perfect for everyday use.
The watch fits in the box perfectly.
