Hey guys, I've got a 145.007.. My girlfriend is into it (on me) and has expressed interest in a vintage watch for herself. Something in the 3-600$ range, ideally. Any suggestions get at me! Thanks, experts.
An automatic like a Seamaster Cal 501/552 ideally but make sure you get it on the BoR bracelet, which looks amazing on ladies and they really seem to like as well.
Oh, geez - by the title I thought you would trade your girlfriend for a vintage Omega. I was going to ask for a picture of the goods before I decided which watch to offer in exchange. We do need domestic help around the house after all.
You are crazy not to buy her this https://omegaforums.net/threads/1960s-omega-pie-pan-constellation-168-005.26227/
+1, I've seen worse examples sell for almost double the price. The date is an easy fix during a normal service. gatorcpa
This is the trouble with watch forums, if we kicked out all the dirty old men, there would only be a couple of hundred members left.
I think she looks even better now: https://www.yahoo.com/style/jessica-alba-ivanka-trump-sara-blakely-talk-121274059624.html And pretty smart also! gatorcpa
I am sorry to bother or hijack this thread...(and following Ms Alba is never good...) but I have been looking for a picture of what this watch dsio mentioned above and cannot find a picture.... is there anywhere a newbe like me can find out what the 501/522 and the BoR mean so I can a - not bother you guys all the time b - learn c - see pics thanks so much !
BOR=beads of rice bracelet. Google Seamaster with 501 or 522 movement. You should find plenty of photos. Now, if we could find a photo of Jessica wearing an example, you may forget what you were looking for in the first place.
* 552 movement - otherwise known as a caliber 552. You might also look for a caliber 591 Seamster - it was the short lived non-date caliber between the 50x and 55x/56x series, available from mid/late 1959 into early 1961.
AHHHHH -- BoR!!! Thanks ! and the numbers are the movements !! its all coming together ! as for Ms. Alba -- well you might...while attractive...she is not my type but I did do a search for her wearing one for you and could not find anything. I will keep looking! ;-)
so this -- yes?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Vinta...atic-Steel-From1956-Ref-2846-48-/351118962379Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
While I guess that it's technically a BoR bracelet, I find that the ones with the more rounded middle links look better - they are also, IMHO, more suited for 50/60's Omegas.
With 42 earrings, I bet she wears a rolex or a michael kors (lower case intentional). Dressed in black and gripping firmly with both hands, an Omega Lady!
