Hi everybody, I need your help. I want to buy this watch, but I have no information about it. The only thing I know, it's an automatic Omega and probably from the 80s. An idea of the price? And what about the caliber? Thank you to all I don't have it so i can't just open it
Hello and welcome to the Forum. Looks like you have a reference ST 166.0085, ca early/mid 1970s. Caliber 1002. The one shown here in the Omega database has a different dial, but these were offered with many different dials. http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-watches-database?ref=20473 Not a particularly collectable watch so the price in really nice condition wouldn't be more than $300-400 USD.
Thank you very much for the speed, I on my side also find some information that is consistent with your. I told you very soon for another discovery
Welcome to the forum and the world of collecting vintage watches. These early 1000 calibre models aren't all that collectible unless they're in a Ploprof. They were problematic and some have survived without the required Omega modifications. You're clearly interested in vintage watches, a world where there are many pitfalls to avoid. Often it's better to spend some time looking and learning before taking the plunge so as to avoid disappointment. A better calibre that is available in a similar shaped watch is the calibre 565 DeVille model 166.0145 shown below:
Dan here! Just my opinion, I'm also a Omega Newbie. Listen to your peers, these guy's no there stuff!! I have also let the emotion get in-front of making the right decisions. Research, read, and research some more. You will find plenty of information on the web! And as always refer to these forms, Iv'e been reading the forms and the responses and communication on this form is priceless!
