Hello from Denmark! Recently i have been bitten by the idea of having a vintage Omega watch and have been looking around for some! I fell over this seller with a few different watches but suddenly got a bit worried about the authenticity of the watches (since he was selling 10 different ones). Heres the two im interested in: http://www.dba.dk/herreur-omega-smuk-og-ele/id-1004486233/billeder/1/ Info given: cal. 286 Omega Seamaster 30 from 1962 http://www.dba.dk/herreur-omega-vintage-ome/id-1006611553/billeder/1 Info given: cal. 268 from 1960. Serial no. 17.507.XXX Are they real and about how much would you think they are worth? and what does the "cal." mean? Do you guys have any tips and tricks for knowing a fake from a real? Sorry that was a whole lot of things! Cheers!
They both look real to me although there are much more expert people than me here! 'Cal' is short for calibre - which is the 'type' number of the movement. You can see the number engraved onto part of the movement in at least one of the photos of those two. Tips and tricks, hmm - stick around here, read and ask!
I think about 700USD so its not all the money in the world. I do like simple watches so these kinda caught my eye. Actually any good advice for watches of a small wrist?
Those aren't even close to being worth $700, check out some watches in the for sale section here and check out the WRUW thread to find some styles you might like
More realistic price is in between 285-350 usd each. They are not any special collector pieces and far from min condition. That's why the price I pretty low
Aha ill keep that in mind! I still have kinda no idea how much they are worth so its nice to have a reference! thanks!
I own a Seamaster 30 exactly like the second watch you posted. Mine is from 1964 and has the same reference number and movement. The crown on the 007 has been replaced at some point. I paid $450 for mine and I knew I was overpaying from the outset. However, the example I found was recently serviced and in almost completely unmolested condition. I couldn't pass up such a nice example
