TAGster 5 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I´m not sure if someone has posted this before, but today I was just browsing eBay and came up with a store that has many vintage watches on sale, mainly Rolexes and Omegas. From my newbie point of view on this kind of pieces, they look good and the prices are reasonable too. Here is one of this watches: http://www.ebay.com/...=item460c3dd8b2 The store has a 100% positive feedback from more than 20,000 users, so even though they are located somewhere in India I think they are legit. Well, hope this helps for those of you that are looking to get this kind of watches. Cheers!! PS. I hope this thread goes here, if not admins please move it to the correct sub-forum.

machiavegli 6 Posted January 30, 2013 I've bought vintage gen from one of the eBay india vintage sellers... ALWAYS look at the diameter because many of the older watches (fine or lower cost) are thin and small compared to modern watches. Personally, I've had my eye on another kind of vintage, the pocketwatch to wristwatch conversion. Lots available from Ukraine but a lot are likely fake-old (like Poljot pocketwatches reengraved as Omega), and they're BIG too. -Mach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted January 30, 2013 That said, I do like the look of this one; http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964s-Vintage-ROLEX-Oyster-Automatic-Date-Steel-Mens-Watch-Uhr-Montre-1500-/300853570809?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item460c452cf9 Could pass off as a stella to anyone who doesn't know too much about rollies...

I even think the esteemed Archie luxury did a piece about them. Yes, a lot of the vintage lines are very small, 37mm is some of the largest you'll find...

court 12 Posted January 30, 2013 I'd rather thay didn't repaint the dials if I'm honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acid_luving 0 Posted February 20, 2013 They raped the beauty of the watches by repainting them. The movement may be good. It might be a good idea to buy one of these and remove the movement and put it on a UPO if it can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
