    Not eBay. Remember that the majority of black dials have been refinished. I would monitor the private watch sales forum here or set up a search on watchrecon.com. Last: be patient.

    If you just want the "Don Draper" look there are many, many refinished/repolished Omega's out there. Often they are called "Mumbai Specials" and the quality of the refurbishment work varies wildly from really skilled to the fat fingered sharpie horrors. There is a market for them. However, if it's simply the look you are after, there are several nice modern watches that can do this for you.

    If you also care about the authenticity and originality of the watch, then your options will be more limited, and the time and research you will have to put in to find such a watch will be much greater.

    Have a good think about which road you want to go down and target your searching accordingly. This forum will help you immensely, but it's your motivation that will be the deciding factor.
