I bet you have one too! My turn!
Nope. Had a second generation globemaster, waffle dial connie but not a first gen waffle dial with arrowhead markers. Damn, I drooled on my keyboard just typing that.

What your issue with gold-capped?

Look like a nice watch. I have the exact same one. Only issue I see is with the crown and that's par for the course with these.

I'm just trying to give myself a reason not to bid on it. Main reason I shared it here so I wont be tempted 馃榾.

Best of luck whoever goes for it!

Nice honest looking watch with attractive patina, IMO. No movt shot but a good price, and negotiable. No affiliation with the seller.

Even though the wear and overall look match the rest of the watch, I'm calling "replaced handset" on that one. They seem too short as minute and seconds hand should reach the outer track.

Hi Linda 馃榾

That's a subject that's been debated a lot of times on here, go have a search for "coathanger" - that ought to net you a few results. On this reference, it's just fine.

Thank you I will! I have this one which Im trying to research...is it wrong and if so why.. it is radioactive...i got the smart geiger app and counter...
No serial number as the bridge has been replaced but it is a 342 cal...so maybe 1950"s? Comments...I just love the look of it.

Congrats on a good looking vintage Seamaster - this, however, is a thread for posting vintage watches that you've found for sale online, which you'd recommend to other members, not for showing your own watches or getting advice. Have a look around the "Vintage Omega Watches" subforum and find a more suitable place to post yours and ask for advice 馃榾

Maybe there is still time for you to go back and read the stickies, edit this post, introduce yourself, put up an avatar, and read the TITLE of this thread.
The illiterate poster also posted in the Report Fakes thread. Serious issue with reading comprehension.

I followed the auction to the end. Went for $1805, which is out my budget. Somebody here got it? If so, congrats!

Bid $1830 a split second too late. what a bummer.

More like what a "bumper" lol. Sorry I couldn't resist.

I didn't bid either. Small baby steps to getting over the constellation addiction.

If it makes you feel any better, nobody knows what the winner's max bid was but you'd probably still have been too low. Welcome to the forum btw!

Good point. That actually does make me feel better. Thanks!

Love this board. Love Omega's.
