Have you considered changing the crystal as well? The watch appears to have had a hard life from the look of the dial. Hopefully it is only cosmetic and that the internals are ok.

slashdotcom 0 Posted June 29, 2018 beautiful watch...how big is the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kant11 5 Posted June 29, 2018 The internals are okay as far as I know The watch is not perfect, it has some scrubs and have probably had a hard life, but I got it as a bargain and I couldn’t resist do you know where I can buy a gen crystal? The case diameter is 35 mm, it’s smallest watch I’ve got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,872 Posted June 29, 2018 Great choice, I'm moving into these now some great watches around. Many of my customers wear vintage omega's. They look great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kant11 5 Posted June 29, 2018 Yeah I would recommend, the vintage watches have a certain charm to it that new watches doesn’t have! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pthurst 1 Posted June 29, 2018 This is lovely! There’s just something with the vintage watches isn’t there! Maybe it’s the fact that you can’t just nip out to the high street and buy one :-) All the best and congratulations on your purchase! Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J!m 289 Posted July 2, 2018 No offense to those who love their reps, but I often advise people to spend their money on vintage Omegas or modern/vintage Seikos. Both amazing bang for the buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kant11 5 Posted July 3, 2018 I love reps, and I usually buy the reps that I can’t afford in gen and never will be (like AP and Pateks). I try as much as I can to buy gen, especially vintage where you can find good deal on the grey market On 01/07/2018 at 19:53, Foxindebox said: That’s lovely mate, enjoy and wear in good health Thanks mate I will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For sure reproductions are available. Join the Omega forum, the folks there are like here very knowledgeable and helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
