Hi Omegaforums,

I have the opportunity to buy one of these 2 rose gold vintage omegas. I'd like opinions on first of all, their validity (as they seem pretty legit to me and are from a very reliable seller) and second of all, which do you like more?

I'm leaning slightly towards the Jumbo 37mm model, but at the same time I find perhaps the 36mm model has a bit more of a vintage feel! The jumbo is a great size, but perhaps borderline a bit too much dial. The 36mm tresor has a more interesting dial and case design for sure.

Both have a calibre 266! Both seem to have original parts (perhaps replaced crystal? the crystals are signed but either polished or replaced) and by their serial numbers, from the late 40's or early 50's? and are roughly the same price. And both are manual wind.

Options:

1: 37mm ref 2256

2. 36mm Tresor

Option 1



Option 2

 

Crown on the first is not original, so it stands out a bit from the case.

Second looks nicer. Dial not so white your blinded by it

DON

 

Good point didn't notice the crown!

 

I like the second one slightly better, mainly because it seems a tad less formal and the lugs a bit more substantial. They are both beautiful.

 

if you are not sure which to buy - take both - you will have 2 nice watches to rotate...
