Hello hello! Here are the rules of this little game:

1 - Post your THREE favourite vintage Omega wristwatches in each of these price ranges:
- Below $500.
- Between $500 and $1000.
- Between $1000 and $1500.
- Between $1500 and $2000.
- Between $2000 and $3000.
- $3000 and more.

2 - Unless specified, we are talking about watches in very good condition in each of these ranges.

3 - Be as thorough as possible. Specify the model number, caliber and years of production if possible.

4 - Explain why these particular models are your favourites.

5 - You don't need to have had an extended experience with these watches. Just name your favourites.

6 - Pictures aren't necessary but feel free to post some if you want.

A compilation of the data would provide a good idea of what are the most popular models in the community and could be an interesting source of information for newbies like me wanting to know more about vintage Omega watches.

Who wants to start?

You do realize the vast amount of work for one to obey your litany of rules of this game don't you? First off it would probably require one to post 18 pictures not to mention including the list of descriptors for each of the 18 watches...

It is not uncommon for new members to propose posts like this. Not saying it is good, and not saying it is bad. But it's almost always new members who start WUS-like threads here.

PlainVanilla, welcome to OF. Take a couple/ few days to review the tremendous depths of threads here on OF.

If you don't want to play, don't play.
The only ones that are going to play your silly game are other noobs like yourself, desperate to get to the magic number.

One nite all expenses paid stay at the Valley Motel. No pool but there's a spigot out back.

Once when traveling for work I genuinely ended up living in a motel that looked like this for a month. It was...interesting. Not funny enough to be a sitcom, too boring to be a horror movie....but...interesting.
