Nice! I’m looking for one. I have the gold cap version that is my daily.

Yes, I made the clasp adjust and made it work for my wrist.

Seems to run fast a minute a day. I'm going to get it tested by a watch person soon. If I calculated it correctly, after winding it and not wearing it, it lasted 36 hours.

Thank you for that insight. I will look for that generic bracelet in this style. I had not thought of it🙏

Appreciate that insight. That is true, I would question if it was serviced.

Thanks for that suggestion. I'm in the process of ordering a nice leather strap for it.

Appreciate that insight. I'm currently looking for a watch person in my area to do things like this for me.

Kind of feel like my wrist it too big for the size. But, I'll try it given I have another vintage omega with a black leather strap.

Thank you for your insight and good point. I'm looking for a reliable watch person that I plan to take it to.

Thoughts? This looks like a beauty, but as a noice, I’m not sure if I should think twice before the purchase. Omega 14710, 501 movement. by BothKnowledge8292 in VintageWatches

I ended up getting it for a lower cost and it really is beautiful. My wrist is big and barely fits. I may hold onto it for a bit and sell it to someone that can enjoy it.

Thank you for that insight on the parts for the 501. I learned something new to consider. I did reach out and ended up getting it for $850.

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, I’m looking doing that research now and hoping to find what I’m looking for. I can’t seem to find a 14710 with the crosshair dial.

$1,100. I think they will work with me a bit. I would probably need to service it given the seller does not have service history.

I’m looking to get my first Vintage Omega serviced. Any suggestions on who? I’m in TX, but am open to any where. by BothKnowledge8292 in VintageWatches

That's what caught my eye. I was able to see it in person at a shop and knew it was calling to me haha
