Vintage Omega Ladymatic

Hi @StrathB and welcome to the forum! Your watch appears to be missing it's sweep second hand. Vintage Ladymatics are relatively easy to find, so I would suggest to keep shopping. Other models to consider are ladies Constellations like this one:

Vintage watch collectors, like those on this forum, are usually obsessed over finding watches that look like they just rolled off the factory floor 50 or 60 years ago. Others prefer to collect watches that show some wear and tear. You may just be looking for one classy watch with a bit of history.

Either way, the best advice is to take your time and read the posts on this forum. Use the search tool to find other posts on Ladymatics, for example, and over time you will build up knowledge of that particular model so that you can identify genuine watches from the time period you're interested in.

Once you find a watch you like, ask the seller for pictures of the insides and outsides, and verify the watch runs and keeps time. Ladymatics are not so rare that you cannot find another one, so be patient. Post pictures here and ask for advice if you need it.

Once you buy the watch, you will need to have the internal mechanical movement serviced (cleaned and lubricated). Find an independent watchmaker near you who is familiar with servicing vintage watches. Be aware that the servicing cost may cost more than the watch itself. But once that's done, you'll have a reliable timepiece and the immense satisfaction of wearing a bit of history on your wrist.
