Thought I might start a thread for pointing all those newbies to nice watches (in my opinion) ( so I don’t have to break their little hearts and tell them the watches they linked are rubbish ) WATCH No 1 As this seller sells with the dealers many may overlook this beauty for a good price. A lot of watch for $525 https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-1950s-omega-seamaster-2846-cal-501.127137/
Ok, clearly @STANDY is trying to wrestle his Seiko from the bowels of yet another croc, so I’ll help this one along. This one has lingered here and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. Whenever we get a new member who wants a gold 50’s seamaster- this is what they visualize- hell, this is the epitome of cool 50’s Seamasters- who doesn’t love a date at 6?!?! https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...ic-ref-ko-2627-8-sc-watch-caliber-355.126200/
i have a date-at-6 that i've had for several years that needs some TLC, aftermarket second hand, and some dial patina, but a sharp case and lugs and haven't seen another dial with pleasure dots. previous owner wrist cheese was added at no additional cost. will need to find an oem crown too.
Have you seen the price of this manual wind. Bargain with a capital B Anyone new to vintage this is the watch you buy to see if you want a vintage watch or like vintage watches. The movement is nothing shabby being a 592 No 2 https://omegaforums.net/threads/alpina-592-gold-plated-34mm.126557/ Look here to see how popular Alpina is here........ https://omegaforums.net/threads/show-us-your-alpina.51898/
To (really poorly) paraphrase Godfather III: "Every time I think I'm out of vintage, these guys pull me back in!" Clever thread, @STANDY
I can’t wait for the first guy who self promotes his own wares in this thread. It’ll happen one day unironically just wait and see
No 4 Super clean and a great start for anyone for under $500 Love a original crown on any vintage https://omegaforums.net/threads/bea...star-chronometer-now-450.130889/#post-1778312
No 5 If I hadn’t of just spent $350 on another hobby I would buy this just to stop a dealer buying it and flogging it for double within a week. $318 is a steal https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-certina-ds-2-ref-5301-300-with-black-dial.138558/
I agree. I posted this on the bargain thread as well. The style is not everyone's taste, but if a person liked the look they would be a fool not to buy it.
