    Hey everyone,

    Hope I'm in the right place for this. I am so close to making a purchase of one of three vintage Omega's. I am a student so my budget isn't too high. I know there are more pristine examples but these ones fit the bill. I like to think that I know a thing or two about these things but a vintage Omega has got me researching like crazy and making sure that I'm not buying a replica. I've been anticipating owning one of these beauties for a long time. What do you all think of these three in terms of identification and authenticity? All seems good to me: good reputable sellers, no obvious signs of faking. However, I'm definitely no pro, and I know you guys will be a much better help than myself and my research.

    Hello and welcome.

    First one has a badly worn case not worth the asking price.

    Second one is a mess with a badly abused movement and an incorrect case back.

    Third one doesn't seem bad, although I'd like to see the movement and inside the case back.

    Many thanks for the feedback, I had requested some movement and inner case back images of the third one, but the seller says he is unable to take the back off, so unfortunately it looks as if I will have to hold off and wait for a good opportunity.

    Cheers
