My experience with vintage, not necessarily Omega, but here are some things to look for:

Integrity of the bracelet
Condition of bezel
Condition of clasp
When was it last serviced

I have no issue with buying a vintage watch, but if the watch hasn't been serviced then I would budget for that. The beauty of mechanical watches with brands like Omega is they can run for many decades or well over a century.
Quartz movements won't last that long but the beauty with those is that the movements can easily be replaced.

You cheap bastards! :) Not one Rolex? A LONG time ago I almost bought one that had a leather band with a gold case and back. New it was $750. Now leather and stainless is probably $4,000.


Post 25 ;)

And you can barely buy one on leather these days....nor get one for $4k sadly. They were certainly a better buy in years passed, but they still make a hell of a watch!

Timeless.
Two tone or stainless steel on band and fluted bezel?

Stainless band, 18k white gold fluted bezel in 41mm with the new 3250 movement. Had the option to go 2 tone 18k gold for the same price but opted out. It was a tough choice but gold is over the top for me. I wanted something elegant that didn't scream "look at me"
