Hi all,

I've chanced upon this vintage Omega on eBay and am pretty tempted by this. Price seems good right now and am thinking of making a bid for this but would just like to know whether its a good buy and what would be a reasonable price to pay for something like this:

thanks for your time in advance!

 

sorry, one more option: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-SEAMA...201014907?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3f24d7147bPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

This one has refinished dial. Stay away.......

 

This one I am not so sure, the dial looks original with a little dirty specks which hopefully could be cleaned.
The case is unishell (front loading) which is less desirable than screwback. The case is decent.
The movement is clean and no sign of scratch in rotor... which is good.
Pricewise this is USD 300-350 specimen IMO.

 

The damaged spots on the dial cannot be cleaned, Wrong set of hands, there must be some lume on hour and minute hands and the second hand is a bit short. Don't buy it.



Correct hands should be like this.

 

or like this...

 

i guess i won't be buying either and will just have to keep looking... thanks for all your replies though it was very helpful

 

hi all, sorry to bother again but how about these two?

i'm really new to this but from what limited knowledge i have, it seems like the dials might have been replaced on both and for the first link, the hands seem odd. just wanted to confirm if what i think is right?

 

It's a refinished dial. Pass.

The dial looks original to me, but the case has been polished quite a lot giving the lugs dull edges. It also has a replaced bridge - the color is different than the rest of the movement. It would be okay up to $500-ish, but it isn't worth the B.I.N. price.

 

For those of us new to this, how can you tell it is refinished, other than it might look to clean?

 

The fonts are wrong. There's also no SWISS MADE.

 

Its so obvious once you point it out!
