Recommended Vintage OMEGA WATCHES (only) On EBAY (NOT for Inquiries)

I have been looking for a nice vintage seamaster. What is a reasonable price for this watch in your opinion?

I’ll save the stalwarts the trouble here. First, introduce yourself. I don’t suspect you meant to barge in unannounced but knock first and please say hi. Like me and peeps like us, you’re asking advice from folks who spent ages learning and doing the requisite research, and whose expertise you hope to tap. Enough with the admonishing. Now on to your question.

From one Seamaster seeking newbie to another...everyone is looking for a vintage Seamaster!!!! It’s the gateway Omega drug. Prices are all over the map. What shape is it in? What movement and what shape is that in? Year? Series? Seamaster, Geneve, 30, 600, De Ville? You get the idea. I saw a beautiful 1963 Seamaster De Ville auction off on eBay at $1650 CDN (>$1250USD) on the weekend. That, in my opinion, is insanity. But hey. Someone loved it that much so bless him or her. Check all the sites. You’ll soon get a feel for value.

Oops...didn’t mean to scare him off. That didn’t last long.

Someone looking for an interesting Seamaster Cosmic could do worse than this:

The condition is good and it's a full set. Price about right, IMO.

Very nice. I got a good chuckle trying to read the Google translation of Italian to English in the description.

Advanced selling technique? Offers it twice the same time for 1100€ OPO and for 700€:

What keeps me off a bit is hand winding

Recently a lot of newcomers have been looking for a good honest Seamaster De Ville. This looks like a nice example to me. I am not always drawn to this seller's watches (and they have listed this one twice, once as an auction and once as a pricey BIN) but I can't see anything wrong here. Monocoque / unishell / (whatever the f* it's called, I couldn't care less) case so the lack of a movement photo isn't automatically grounds for suspicion.

Relisted, then withdrawn because of an "error in the listing." Hmmm....

While it does have something going for it, those lugs (and the bezel) have seen massive amounts of polishing and the crown is the wrong replacement. With dog-leg lugs, crisp condition is paramount - especially on gold capped versions as restoring the edges is next to impossible (and certainly not something that would be worthwhile).

 

[nicolsson]

Agree. I'm not an expert, but those doggy lugs... definitly not IMHO.

I have this stunning vintage omega watch for sale, It's very special to me and I want it to go to someone who will take care of it! I'm positive that I would trust anyone here to take it. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/302579783906?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

My guess is that this is a violation and that one cannot recommend their own watch for sale

[ConElPueblo]

Get this piece a bit down in price and it will make for a very nice Constellation:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Cal-...d=222789156837&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042

Dial looks very nice and the case is unpolished and in very decent condition, it would seem. Buckle looks like a fake, but a hammer will put an end to that.

That beautiful Omega 30T2 you just sold wasn't on Ebay but definitely a great buy. Too bad i wasn't able to get in contact with you fast enough!

Maybe we should change the title of the thread to: "I am recommending this watch without reservation (on Ebay). I will not ask a question about a watch that I am unsure of. I'm sure that it is correct, it is not overpriced, and I am not the seller"
