Pretty large vintage Omega with one of my favourite movements. Dial in perfect shape, case not abused. Original buckle included. This model hasn't taken off value-wise, but it's preferable - IMO - to the Cosmics etc. of the same era.

That went quick. Thanks for the tip though. Someone got a nice watch.

Just bought this one off ebay for 600$ usd

1960’s Omega Seamaster Automatic that dates it to around 1961. The dial is marked Omega, the back of the case is marked Omega, and the movement is marked Omega and 562, and also marked 24 Jewels. Gold plated 36mm case with a stainless back, and with an Omega leather strap and buckle. The strap is a bit dirty but I’m sure it would clean. How much would you say this watch is worth?
You need to start a thread in Vintage Omega Watches and ask your question.

BTW, asking what a watch is worth AFTER you bought it is doing it wrong.

I guess it's worth $600 since that's what you paid for it.

I see what you did there with the old cliche "it's worth whatever someone will pay for it". 😁

Sometimes there are things that are so painfully obvious that it’s just funny. I can’t stop smiling at that comment.

I guess I asked the question the wrong way. I plan on keeping the watch, just wanted to check the value here as eBay and Chrono are a bit skewed in my opinion an $600 was on the lower end in price. Looks like I got a decent deal...

Yes, this thread is for recommended watches on eBay.

The forum would help you value that watch if you posted a thread in the Vintage Omega forum.

Hi
Just saw this ad :
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Omega-Speedmaster-Moon-Watch/163886576131?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=7627896edc784adc839e2bfa90893d16&pid=100675&rk=1&rkt=15&mehot=pp&sd=163886576131&itm=163886576131&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:11578c1a-e956-11e9-b140-74dbd180ea84|parentrq:a872a14e16d0a9c120bbcf09fff1e132|iid:1

Almost done, the price seems a good deal to my poorly trained eyes but I assume there is a problem as no one bid on it...?
Looks fine, aside from the holey hands. There will likely be a dozen bids in the last 30 seconds of the auction.

Could be the missing box and papers keeping people away?

For a modern Speedy, people would prefer a complete set which are not difficult to find.

Sale price was $2700, which is a pretty good deal if the watch is in good condition. By serial number it's mid-1980s, so it's not so old as to be a valuable Apollo-Skylab era watch, but it is old enough that it will certainly need a service. The description is a little weak: nothing about whether it had a service or not, certainly a box and papers would have increased its value, no photos of the movement or inside caseback. Still, that's ebay for you, and even knowing that it will need a service it's still a reasonable deal.

A question for anyone who is a veteran watch buyer, is it better to buy from Ebay or maybe Amazon, or is it better to buy from a watch store? Any recommendations as to where the best place to buy is?

Veteran watch buyers start by reading the title.......
This thread has a specific purpose and we wish to keep it pure.
Please pose your question in the appropriate forum and we will be glad to help.

Recently bought a vintage Omega from eBay. Auction said 36mm case size but its 33mm, 35 with a case. Pretty disappointing....

I share your dissapointment, but perhaps it is an idea to communicate that with the seller instead of posting it here in the thread for:

Hello everyone,

I am now to this forum as I want to start my Omega collection and I need some help 😀

I would like to buy a Costellation 167.005 year 1963, but I am not sure if the price is ok (around 1,500Euro) and if the crown is the original one

I trust the retailer when he says that it is Omega original, but maybe it is not from this exact model? I have seen plenty of pictures of the same watch with the hexagonal crown, which I think it fits more with the rest of the design, so it looks more it own part

Can you please help me (also about the price)?
Thank you
T
