Hi! I am an aspiring vintage watch collector. My first time though. I just want your advise if this watch looks authentic to you or not. Please i need your advise. Thanks!

Start your own thread about your watch, instead of hijacking this one 馃憤

Perhaps this thread needs more detail on the recommended watchmakers. For example some watchmakers really specialize in vintage watches, whereas others maybe less open to working with vintage parts. I have no doubt that Nesbitt's does a very nice job repairing or servicing new watches, but they were unwilling to swap out a repainted dial for me for a older tritium dial that I would provide. Kelly Hunter at Art of the Watch swapped the dial for me, and did a full service. I would reccomend him.

Hi for Montreal Canada recently I have used :
Swatch Group service center
1239 Rue de la Montagne, Montr茅al, QC H3G 1Z2, Canada

Great place and great service, prior there was another great place but the watchmaker passed away a few years ago.

Manhattan Timepieces In midtown is great.
May be for modern watches, but for vintage ones, I would beg to differ and would advise that one stays clear of them.

He's excellent but be prepared to wait and pony up a good chunk of $$$.

If your watchmaker is Omega accredited he should be able to order from Omega. I would be looking for a accredited watchmaker myself.
