There probably won't be as many posts here as the "under $500" thread, but there may be some other lucky folks out there.

This little gem was $2 at the flea market this morning.

 

You’ve priced this thread to maximise the number responses I see. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no Omegas to report at or below this price point.

Interesting strap there too.

 

Do you mean $5 USD or CAD?

 

Oh, we should allow pricing in Canadian dollars, too.

Yes, the seller did mention the Speidel strap... a high-pressure sales tactic meant to induce me to complete the purchase. I think he sensed I was wavering.

 

Doesn't beat the $2 Patek or $5 LeCoultre compressor so this thread is null and void.

 

Australian.

 

Mexican Pesos.

Hong Kong dollars.

 

I have a 10K ladies quartz Deville that I bought for $10, but that's 100% more than what is allowed in this thread. Not really sure what to do with it.

 

for ease of use, the thread title should be changed to "What Omega did you buy for under $5 usd / 4.07 eur / 6.52 aus / 3.57 gpb / 6.54 cad / 4.79 chf / 531.73 yen / or 91.18 pesos?"

We can safely rule out peruvian dollars and UD (uncles dollars), as those omegas are fakes anyways.

 

You could have paid 10K for a $10 lady's quartz.

 

Can't contribute with an Omega, but did get an interesting sterile Record WWW for 2 quid on a 10 day eBay auction. Bad photos, not recognizable to most people I guess, I was the only bidder. It's the one on the left





And on the right here...

 

Here in the Land of the Longhorn, we only use real American dollars!

 

Can we include Omegas for which we paid nothing?

 

Did he throw in the spring bars for free?

 

Congratulations!! I didn’t think that it was possible nowadays.

 

Flea's have markets what world is this on.....

 

$5 is such a hard target...if you divide that by mumber of watches in lots, I'd wager I've picked up a few ladies Omegas that way.

 

Nobody took my bait. I had these given to me.

I bought this for $5.00 in 2005 at a yard sale. The dial was unrecognizable but I could make out the Omega emblem. Turned out to be an 18 karat gold 1957 2909SC. Took 3 years to locat a replacement dial and yes, I know that was a few years ago and it is not under $5.
