Omega Geneve Automatic 1012 : Vintage Bargains : The Best Dress Watch under $ 500 ?

[@jamesdean8900]

Inherited a gold geneve from my grandad and had it refurbished by Omega and its beautiful. Still have the original box and papers too. Its my everyday wear and people ask me about it. Very happy with it 🙂

[@ForgottenFossils]

My grandad has this Omega, and it's cracked and not working. How much was the omega service?

[@jeromejoyal4242]

James Dean still wearing the watch ? What caliber is it ?

[@paulalexander3926]

Me too but with the manual movement.. Got it refurbished three years ago and It works just fine.

[@watchhobbie6002]

I got one of these at a pawn shop from a watchmaker that worked there all i paid was 40 USD the repair cost from someone not picking up their watch after it had been serviced.......(before internet and ebay)...Best deal ever!!

[@edcwatches]

it sure is :)

[@antidot556]

I have 20 micron gold plated version of Omega cal 1030 remained from 1975. Pure treasure in my opinion. Timekeeping is like +3 secs in a day.

[@stealthworx4371]

It looks so much better on wrist in video than how it appears in photos. Been eyeing the 18k version cant wait!

[@michaelloach9461]

Thanks for that. I have just put a bid in for one because they look really good. Not too flashy & only people who know watches will notice. Just like my Audi S5.

[@peterlorimer3552]

That watch is beautiful! You really have the Midas touch when it comes to picking up the most gorgeous and honest little vintage pieces. Mind you having been watching your excellent videos for some considerable time now its obvious to me that you've put in the hard work to gain more than a good working knowledge of horology as a whole. Well done. As a comparatively newby to watch collecting I learn so much from you and your videos and I thank you very much for that. I'll say goodbye for now. Looking forward to your next video but in the meantime stay safe bye.

[@edcwatches]

thank you Sir !

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

BEAUTIFUL watch and I'd have to agree! One of the best dress watches under $500 :)

[@edcwatches]

vintage omegas have excellent movements

[@DiogoAmancio]

This is trully a beautiful watch. Congrats!

[@bimodal]

Great video! Don’t suppose you could post a link to a picture of that poster you referenced could you?

[@Toersk1]

Just found my grandpa's old Omega. I was seriously chocked because I thought he didn't have that kind of money at that time. To be fair I don't know if it is real, so next week I will go and have it checked.

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

It probably is real. And watches back then were much more affordable

[@nunomc2815]

Beautiful classy piece 😊 Omega's own vintage "datejust". I'm more and more on smaller diameters. Bambino looks too big

[@edcwatches]

I thin that if it works on your wrist than who cares if it is 48 mm :) or 35 ... however under 35 does not work for me

[@nunomc2815]

EDC Gunner I have a small diameter wrist and also agree with you. Generally I prefer larger than 36 mm and smaller than 42 mm, depending on the genre, if it's a sportswatch or more dressy classic style. My midsize 36 mm seamaster 300 actually wears very nice due to its case and lugs geometry 😊

[@ima4ster]

Love that quick set date feature.

[@edcwatches]

that is great invention :D

[@carlosdelacadiz6658]

I like vintage watches.The Omegas,Tissots and Longines are cool and in my budget.

[@edcwatches]

I have many such videos in my archives ..check out my uploads and playlists

[@RhezaMaulana]

[@edcwatches]

I have many vintage omega videos

[@paulonelife]

Great watch. How did you get it for $500? Thanks

[@toproll8514]

I found an auction! Nice watch. How much does it cost today? What is the rating?

[@ddop100]

[@edcwatches]

congrats ! its a really cool timepiece !

[@พันธ์ศรีภาคพูล]

ผมได้ใช้โอเมก้ารุ่นเครื่อง 1022Jeneve Automatic ใช้ดีมาก แข็งแรงดี ตั้งวัน และวันที่ง่ายกว่ารุ่นเก่า ทันสมัยง่ายดี แปลกดีด้วยครับ พอใจมาก

[@keithgreenan1850]

Girald Peregaux and Omega vintage watches are about the same price on e-bay.

[@edcwatches]

Omegas sell way more though

[@AL-jx8qy]

Beautiful. Im looking for my first vintage watch, and I want it to be an Omega. Gents which is a more exclusive one to look out for? Seamaster, De Ville, or Geneve.

[@edcwatches]

Omega Constellation

[@janrosback8758]

@@edcwatches Jag har en Contelation från tidigt 70-tal..ser ut som ny

[@chanbeompark2402]

Is the movement not attached to the case?

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Nice one. I wish my Seamster would be a 35 or 36 mm. The 34 mm are a fraction too small for me.

[@edcwatches]

I tried 34 too and I agree it is too small

[@DrSpeedNL]

It's a beauty, Gunner!

[@edcwatches]

cheers mate

[@timelanguid4813]

Hi I have one that looks exactly the same but mine says de ville on the face and de ville on the back case. 1970?

[@vishy]

Thanks for the great video EDC - love vintage omega automatics. Looking to get one with a CAL 1022 movement - what an awesome dress watch and a perfect addition to my current 1-watch collection (lol) composed of the Omega Speedmaster Professional hesalite moonwatch. Keep up the great work

[@edcwatches]

thanks man , those with the movements starting with 5 are really cool too

[@okidokibuddy]

Dream watch!

[@johnpinner1]

I purchase this watch today for 170.00 needs a Omega crown and my watchmaker will overhaul the watch a real bargain for less than 300.00 dollars. PS it has the original glass.

[@bnick25352535]

Just subscribed have a question is the Omega 1000 series movements reliable with th ed day date function thanks

[@edcwatches]

[@МирославМршевић]

Do you know where can I find original bracelet and glass for this watch? Thanks

[@edcwatches]

[@LCMNUNES1962]

ÓTIMO RELÓGIO, BRASIL OK.

[@crezzwell]

Did he say domed 'plastic' crystal?? Plastic on a Omega watch???? That can't be right can it?

[@edcwatches]

it can, most of the vintage watches used plastic crystals from rolex to omega

[@apowers7783]

Love the intro my friend!

[@edcwatches]
