·Hi, I am pretty new to this vintage watch thing, so I would like to ask you experts some questions regarding the watches below. Thank you in advance.
I recently encountered a seller online selling this GP
So far no other pictures, the claim was it was handed down by an uncle, and he does not know anything about watches, year, model. nothing, he does not have any tools to open the case back, hence these are the only photos for GP.
What are your thoughts about this, at least dial wise? there's no minute track, even at the sub-dial, although it appears to have a faded crosshair on the subdial.
The second one is an Omega seamaster 166.001, i bought it online from a vintage watch seller, however I had to return it, for the following reasons.
1. It was advertised as having an original signed omega plexi. but when I received it, i almost got blind looking for it and taking macro shots. The seller told me it was there and I just could not see it and it needed 10x magnification, but I did not buy this reasoning as I have seen vintage omegas with the signed crystal.
2. I asked about the crown as it looks to be protruding, or big for this model, I got a response that he did not know, because he did not own the watch originally but it seems the watch came with it originally.
I returned the watch because I thought if he can make an excuse or lie about as simple as the plexi glass omega signature which is pretty in my face obvious, what else can he lie about the inside movement of the watch which is hidden? and also if you are a vintage watch dealer, surely you must know if that crown type belongs to that watch or not, unless you are evading to answer it honestly and simple say "i dont know"
What do you think?
