This UK market Geneve only has 3 hours left but the price is still very reasonable and it’s one of the nicest gold plate Cal 565 automatic geneves I’ve seen in a while with a very pretty dial and hands and quite a good condition case for gold plate.

Went for £330 - a nice price for a nice watch

This one is a re-list that I’d posted weeks ago but it’s a really cool piece that deserves to be serviced and restored, ref DD145.0022. I’d probably send to omega for an overhaul given its relatively modern yet very limited in numbers.

At $6900 there should be more than enough room to have this one restored properly for well under that cost of a good one on Chrono24 so hopefully someone here got it

 

[dsio]

This one has some dial patina which isn’t for everyone but I don’t really mind it since it’s even and it will likely keep the price down on what is otherwise a really nice sharp Cal 561 hidden crown case, and at wearing distance I think you would struggle to notice it day to day.

Outbid unfortunately - wasn’t sure of the availability/ price of the correct bezel.

The bezel is the same as the bezel on several of the 80s and 90s 18k solid gold Moonwatches so shouldn’t be a problem, not a huge amount of gold content either so can’t imagine it being too insane, I really hope we see it surface here at some point and get put right

This is one to watch if it stays cheap, 166.002 with a nice case condition, replacement crown though I wouldn’t be too bothered by that and a nice overall piece

This one’s still at 200 with 8 hours left

Nice enough watch but will likely require a more-than-standard service
"date change by winding hands" (on a quickset-date cal 563?)
need to factor that into the purchase price

Mhmmmm that’s a factor yes

Hello,

I am interested in this Omega (pre Deville) watch. What do you think of the watch and the price?


https://www.ebay.fr/itm/30399299531...-53476-19255-0&campid=5338722076&toolid=10001

welcome @lord4omega
as this thread is for only for recommendations - might I politely suggest that you delete this post and start a new thread in the vintage omega section
(with pics rather than just a link)

The hidden crown Constellation went for $493… should have bought it myself

I was thinking of having a go at this too. The dial is nice enough. I have a 168.004 but doesn’t look quite the same with the crown ‘hidden’. Were there non-hidden 004s or would it be camera angle?

Not quite as easy as you think....I've been looking for a hand set since this happened to me two months ago on the day of purchase

@cristos71 Oh no, how on earth did that happen?
Fantastic dial btw

Nice little gold plate Geneve Cal 613 with a clean dial, hands and case but some poor photos.

What do we think of this? I’m buying my first omega vintage! Need some help.

seems expensive £3,400 but good condition, 18k gold, seamaster deville with a black dial.

Just assume, until checked here, that any black dial Omega is repainted.

so how do you find a good black dial vintage?

This isn’t the right thread for such questions, for reasons of clarity it’s not meant for inquiries, see it’s title. You’ll find quite a few comments on that topic using the forum search (and could, of course, always open a new thread to discuss), but bottom line is roughly:
With a combination of a healthy budget and most of all knowledge/experience.
