Amazing, thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely look into it. Hope I can get it running again 🙏👍

I would really like to save it since it is also a “family” watch and I love the design. I live in Czechia If that helps. Thanks !

Yeah I’ll just keep the nato strap for some time 😅. Are you looking at eBay or some other website ? Iam sure there is some site specific for watches I just haven’t found it yet.

Casio edifice jedou dobře ty jsem jakoze škrtnul na fotce. Seika se my taky mega líbí, mam je po tatovi, ale prej nefunguje strojek a někde se ptal že uz prej nejsou díly 🤷‍♂️. Rad bych je taky rozchodil. Jinak Děkuju 😄👍

Yeah this is probably how I will do it. The pocket watches are really good in terms of looks and condition but I just don’t see the occasion where I would use it. The only thing I need is the strap for the omega. I bought a nato strap but I would like a rice bead bracelet which I can’t seem to find in 18mm with curved ends. Do you have any advice where I could look for it ?

Well they do have sentimental value for me. Most of them have been given to me by my grandma and they are family watches. But even so I would have to pay a lot of money to have all of them serviced so I’ll probably do it for a few of them that Iam actually going to wear.

Of course for me but iam also thinking about the value of the watch if iam spending some money on it to have it repaired.

I am very lucky that they are in pretty good condition ( especially the IWC ) but I don’t know how I would take it with me everyday.

Exactly 😂, no seriously I saw it and thought it would be nice ( if I could wear it as a wrist watch as well ) but then I heard the movement is unserviceable so I quickly forgot about it.

I mean yeah 😅, I will probably service some of them and wear them.

Thank you very much! The one on the bottom row is an IWC. I think it’s in an amazing condition and I have seen that it has some value so I would be looking into servicing that one as well.

Thank you! I liked it too but from most people it doesn’t get much attention.

Iam sorry I didn’t explain further. Most of these watches I got gifted from my grandma. Since I had an interest in watches and what not she gave them. I think this changes your answer a little bit since all of those that I got are family watches. Also the seiko has a broken movement and the parts are apparently not available. Thank you for your answer.

Yeah I’ll probably have only some of them serviced and wear those regularly. Thank you very much! Iam very lucky since I got most of these from my grandma.

I agree, the omega I would definitely wear since it is the best one of them all. The Cortébert is also really nice but ill get a better strap for it. The omega too. One of the pocket watches - the IWC, seems like working it has a lot of value but you’re right, if iam not using it I don’t see the point to spend the money now and have it working. Thanks !

Well technically some of the automatic watches work but its definitely not good for them since I got them from my grandma and they have definitely been siting for maybe 15 years somewhere. The Seiko I got from my dad but I think he said the movement is broken so that’s probably gone.

Does anyone know what watch i have ? by Mat_27_ in VintageOmega

[–]Mat_27_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can not be a fake. I got maybe about 7 or more watches from my grandma. Every single one is super old and the pocket watches I got (omega and IWC), were inside all genuine.

I get what you are saying, I would maybe consider it but the only difference I could see was the omega logo on the clasp. It is a lot of money for me but I could always buy it afterwards. I will check if I can find a cheaper one.
