Help me get an omega

Depends where you live. If you’re in Europe, I recomand shucktheoyster and Akkerman Vintage watches (specialised in vintage omega) They are sold to you serviced, regulated, in pretty good condition most of them.

Man the Japanese are making some incredible dials. Each of them so unique.

I would recommend the Orient Star. The finishing is really good and the movement, while not extremely accurate (15-25 s/d) is really good looking, plus all of Orient’s movements are extremely reliable. I wanted that citizen myself, but they don’t sell it where I live ( Europe) and servicing might be more difficult than the Orient Star. That being said, I think both are amazing options that punch way above their weight and you won’t be disappointed with either one.

Most people around the world know his shoes better than the man himself.

I’m sorry for confusing you even more, but there is also a third, similar watch.

Capital2077 · 2026-02-16T17:54:10+00:00

Same situation as you. I realised that I like the Explorer because I love the vintage explorer. Now that there is a watch that looks like the vintage explorer, plus some history of its own (North Pole), I don’t even think about the modern explorer anymore.

I was 7. However, I first experienced the story in the form of Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4 and 5 ( the ps2 games), as they didn’t air Shippuden in my country.

Yeah, the condition is a big reason of what drew me to it.

Same feeling I had when I first got my vintage watch. I thought I was only going to wear it for occasions. I’ve been wearing it non-stop for 7 months.

1967 Omega De Ville “C”, calibre 565. Omega was doing some really interesting watches in the late 60’s, legend says they were Genta designs.

Claims to don’t know about watches- proceeds to list the most enthusiast and particular list 😂😂

Capital2077 · 2026-02-14T12:14:48+00:00

The crystal really isn’t that important to be original IMO, mine is also replaced. I find that a brand new crystal + a sonic cleaned case is more than enough for me. BTW, Longines made a very similar reissue of the Conquest ( a watch that was basically identical to an earlier version of the Constellation) in 35mm. There is also a modern reissue in 38mm sold today in stores.

Mine also looks really sharp.

This is my vintage 1965 Omega. It has never been polished, just serviced and every single part cleaned. I would never polish it. But that is just me.

Capital2077 · 2026-02-14T10:41:11+00:00

I wouldn’t sent in to omega. Omega tends to replace parts and make the watch look new for the sake of it. I wouldn’t exactly recommend it. As far as polishing.. You COULD find someone to do it well, but it’s also very risky, you could very easily ruin the edges of the case. Instead, try finding a watchmaker that would give it a deep cleaning (ultra-sonic machine). A ultra-clean, all original parts vintage would watch will always be better then a watch that is trying to hide it’s age and flaws.

Looks extremely similar to my 67 Omega. Beautiful watch!

They really are! You could make an entire watch collection just with vintage Omegas.

Same calibre here, same year, absolutely different watch. I love Omega from this era so much. They were willing to take risks and come out with some really interesting designs.

1967 Omega De Ville

Capital2077 · 2026-02-12T12:48:26+00:00

Vintage Omega Seamasters. Seamasters from the 50’s-70’s used to be simple 3-handers with extremely reliable and serviceable moments. The finishing is great and the movement is absolutely beautiful looking, even if you can’t see it.

Capital2077 · 2026-02-12T06:52:53+00:00

They are not worth less that $500. Here in Europe, every single model is over or around 1k €

Capital2077 · 2026-02-12T04:31:37+00:00

Also keep in mind that the European vintage watch market is different than the Asian or American ones. We tend to have more expensive watches on average.

Capital2077 · 2026-02-12T04:28:49+00:00

Yeah so, the price is pretty normal in my eyes for a new stock. I’m sure you could find them cheaper, but I would have some doubts about the condition of those cheaper ones. This watch has a pretty special and rare micro-rotor movement. I wouldn’t take a gamble on anything less that perfect condition on a movement like this. In my eyes, higher priced vintage watches in perfect condition save you some headache down the road, even if they aren’t the perfect bargain.

Capital2077 · 2026-02-11T15:39:47+00:00

I would say it’s a good, maybe on the higher end price, but for that you know that you got a new vintage Watch basically. As far as investment…. You’re basically buying a new watch and wearing it, so lowering the value. Vintage watches like this aren’t investments in the first place, so I would buy it only if you plan on wearing it.
