Hi all I am looking at 3 pieces and can't decide which one to buy, need help

first one:

I like the patina this one has!

second one

1953 caliber 266

third one

I think they are overpriced. Have you checked the For Sale section here? Better watches, better pricing, good people to deal with.

if we ignore the prices, which one do you think is a better option? regarding the dial, movements and year. thanks

Not just overpriced, but way overpriced, two to three times overpriced.

As already noted check the sales sections here on the forum.

I'm sorry but at those prices there are too many better options out there of the same Ref.

Berba9,
I strongly encourage you to hang around for a while, read through some threads, search for how to fish (or similar thread title), spend some time looking at the WRUW thread, find out what models appeal to you. Vintage watches will still be around in two or three months (or years) time at which point you will be in a much better place to make an informed purchase.

When I was beginning to entertain the idea of purchasing a vintage Omega, I was actually looking at that site too.

Since I joined OF, I have learned so much. I am glad that I didn’t purchase any of those timepieces from him.

My suggestion to you, as it was given to me, is to hang around, meet some people, and look at the fine timepieces. They pop up for sale all the time here.

Much better deals out there, as noted by some people who know. Some nice shoes though::facepalm1::

Good luck, Chris
