WTB: 1958 Omega Seamaster Ref. KO 2975 / 14710-1 SC (Cal. 501, Gold Capped) on BoR
----- Personal Note -----
Hello everyone,
I am looking for help locating my first proper vintage watch.
I love the idea of building a minimalist "one-watch" collection—having a single, versatile timepiece that accompanies me through all of life's occasions, building memories while keeping the mechanical engine ticking on the wrist.
To that end, I’m seeking a mid-century Omega Seamaster that can serve as a dependable daily wearer—something that pairs just as effortlessly with a suit as it does with smart-casual attire. I would love to buy directly from an established community member who has an honest piece looking for a good home.
If you have a piece in your collection that fits the bill and you've been considering parting with it, please feel free to send me a PM with photos, details, and your asking price.
Thanks for looking!
