My grandfather died recently. My family and I were looking through the house taking out the most valuable things and family heirlooms and such before we do an estate sale. In my grandpa's drawer in his bedroom I found his old 1966 Omega Seamaster Chronograph. Immaculate condition as my grandfather was very classy and took care of everything wonderfully. I knew it was a nice watch, but didn't know quite how nice these are. Just curiously looked it up on a watch dealer and it came out at $4, 000! I took it to my local Omega dealer and paid the big bucks for an authentic Omega Alligator leather band for it and clasp. VIOLA...I now have an extraordinarily beautiful watch and a great memory of my awesome grandfather. Such a cool deal. I will NEVER get rid of this watch.

I remember as a kid going through our storage in our big home and finding a very old watch that looks nothing like my Hi-Tech G-shocks, but something that an old man that plays Bingo would wear, and i remember it printed "Omega" on it with a shiny Omega emblem. And i just left it there cause why the heck would i wear this old mans watch that only tells the time and day?? (12 y/o kid thinking).
20 years later i come to my parents place (as a watch enthusiast this time) and ram through all the old storage in all of the unused rooms of the house, like a cocaine addict looking for a gram.
BOOM!... i find it! It's a beautiful, very well preserved 1970's Omega seamaster that my father got for his weddind from my mom's brother.
I had it restored and cleaned and is now working accurately like a charm!
For sure my favorite watch in my collection now!

Couldn't agree more, I used the vintage route to get my first watch in precious metal (yellow gold) and it was less than $1, 000 for a 50s Omega. Amazing. Took me months to find the right one, pays to wait!

Vintage Omegas are absolutely fantastic! That seamaster is an easy favourite of mine!

Recently picked up a 1974-5 Omega Geneve for 65 euros (lucky eBay find), full working condition, just needed a clean and a service. Couldn't be more happy with my first Omega, and couldn't agree more with them being an incredible value prop :D

Saw this video after I ordered a late 50s seamaster calendar (gold capped, white waffle dial, gold hands and spearhead markers, 503 movement, very clean, wonderful condition). Chuckled nervously and pressed play. Thankfully I seem to have done it all right and the seller has been AWESOME. Now I just have to play the waiting game for it to arrive. First vintage watch and first Omega.

Thanks so much, Jory. As a low-budget collector, I started out my watch journey drooling at vintage ('50's and '60's Seamasters) and have just about given up from fear of getting cheated. You've inspired me to give them another look! I do SO love that classic Seamaster style.

The whole "You can get a lot of watch for not a lot of money because I paid only about $400 for this vintage Omega Seamaster" is kinda misleading because you got an incredible deal from a fellow watch collector who trusted you to continue to take care of his watch. That was a rare and incredible opportunity not very many people will ever be offered. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I've yet to find a vintage Omega in good condition for a similar price.

During this coronavirus, our family dug through old closets and recently found the exact model 1976 omega seamaster automatic!! Incredible find. Even with scratch marks, I plan on saving it for my life.

Just purchased my first Omega, a Seamaster Quartz. Very excited to own such a timepiece, as well as own a piece of history. You earned a new sub my friend, thanks for the content

Good video bro. Can never go wrong with an authentic vintage Omega. My two Omega’s are the electric blue Seamaster and the Michael Schumacher MK40 Speedmaster. Love both equally!!!

A lil secret.. If you find a non working vintage 70s and have a good watchmaker you can get some awesome deals since parts are plentiful. Ive bought some nonworking watches at a steal and paying $150-$250 for full servicing many cases you can be ahead. But as Tory said : DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!

I used to have a old Omega Sea master stainless steel strap but sadly it was missing the wind up pin at the top which had the Omega symbols on the head! & for that reason only I sold it to my friend for a amount that I won’t disclose to the public not now not ever! I just wish that I had kept it & got it fixed I always used to admire it whenever I had it miss you Omega Sea master!🤦🏾😢❤️👁👁💯

i bought an omega geneve (from 1969) in 18k gold for 900 dollars. its my first vintage omega and it is stunning!

[zeroqueguima]

I have a Omega Geneve 1974. Watch was my dads. Now in perfect condition. Caliber 1020. Excelent.

Recently added an omega 265 to my collection. Found for me by a great company who, authenticated it &gave it a complete service .
It's in a UK, Dennison steel case & was produced in 1947; a beautifully designed simple timepiece.
It is exceptionally accurate; a lovely piece & the caliber 265 was an important one for omega from the 1930s thru to the sixties.

Just got a day date constellation. I absolutely love it. It feels so comfortable on my wrist and it looks amazing! Honestly, I'm liking it better than my datejust. And if we talk about price difference....

My dad bought be a vintage Omega at a local auction house for my graduation. Was around 700 dollars, but it's a 34mm in solid 18k gold. It's amazing. Only downside is that there's a name engraved on the back since it was someone's gift for working for a company for 25 years. Had a Certina in gold as well, but they went for almost the same price haha.
