Let's Prevent this MISTAKE the Next Time You Buy a Vintage Omega Watch Online

[@Gnarpjohan]

These are the best polished vintage Omegas I have seen, including the movements.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Actually. They are unpolished

[@mountainhobo]

With a 7.25" wrist, for a dress watch I can pretty much pull off anything from 35 mm to 38 mm, so I could span multiple size categories.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

That’s a perfect wrist size.

[@hockeyrd99]

Great information. I checked my Omega watches and actually had 2 mid-sized ones (I didn't even know they existed!). One is a 32mm manual wind.. case number 2667-5SC.. Cal. 420 movement. The other is a 32mm bumper.. case number 2492-3 (under that number there is an "H", and under the H there's a "6").. cal. 344 movement.. honeycomb textured dial.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Nice! and You're very welcome. Case 2492 is not mid size from what I remember. Maybe a different piece?

[@tattoofthesun]

That seamaster with the black dial and the gold hour markers is so classy. Textured dial and lots of detail to look at

[@tattoofthesun]

My FAVORITE are the oval DeVilles. They aren’t often up for sale but I’m on the hunt

[@mrreeves6811]

Thank you for your amazing insight into the world of vintage omega,s..... I love them all

[@WatchWithMike]

The larger versions seem to have larger or more detailed hour markers! Great video, I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

You’re welcome. :D

[@timsonxx]

I have a 36mm Seamster with caliber 552 24 jewels. Ca early 60s. I absolutely love the size and it’s so nice that it’s automatic. I think i can never get a mechanical hand wind again

This video came out at the perfect time for me. I now know to be on the lookout for a boy size Omega. Thank you for your service!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Anytime! Glad it helped you. :)

Thank you, very good information. Grampa had a 1940's moonphase that drew my interest, got me started. You have a great collection.

Hey there, Mr. Timless! I currently inherited and restored 2 vintage Seiko and I gotta say - i’m hooked. I was thinking of going for Omega, as I’ve always wanted one, but could you please help me with recommending me a reliable automatic watch? Even if it’s another brand? Thanks and have a great day! ⌚️

[@Luca-ob4no]

Hey the seamaster 2501.31 is a great one with good long performance

[@JavierBonillaC]

This is a very professional video thank you very much

[@boydsargeant7496]

Many thanks for this video, I realise this does take a lot of time, so I appreciate. Are all the larger sizes having a diameter 30mm movement?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

You’re very welcome. Most of the larger size models take a movement under 30mm in diameter.

[@jadedarby7290]

Best video ever!!! Lv this , Wonderful information very good for newer collectors. OE, this is why I buy all vintage from you, perfect and best running watches. Totally appreciate your honesty so we can buy in confidence ..... Thanks again for anther fabulous video... j

Yes, you can use the donate feature on my site for such service. But I do not provide authenticity certificates. Can only let you know if the watch is original and correct.

You're welcome. It looks like you have a lot to learn about vintage Omega watches. In that case, please take your time to purchase one. There is a lot to learn and you do not want to make a poor decision. Yes, they are available in: 1) automatic + non-date 2) automatic + date 3) automatic + day-date 4) manual wind + non-date 5) manual wind + date

how much could be the full service of one of those whatches? I am planning about buying a vintage Ωmega like in the video for around 600-700 from early 70's, but I ave no idea how much will they charge after for a full restoration. Thanks a lot to those who'll answer.

[@Shock_Treatment]

Did you ever do it and find out?

[@danijelpavic2708]

Talking about all the De Ville models, if the first number is 5 it is womens watch, and if the first number is 1 it is mens watch?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

1-4 will represent Gent's watch. 1 = Gent's Watch, 2 = Gent's Jewellery Watch, 3 = Gent's bracelet watch, 4 = Gent's jewellery bracelet watch. 5-8 will represent Lady's watch. The second digit (1-9) represents what type of movement and the feature. The third digit (1-8) represents whether it is resistant or not, and the feature such as chronometer and calendar.

[@jan_de_witt]

About the seahorse on the caseback, why do some models have a basic engraving while others have that luxurious raised design? Is it based on the year, or was it done only on the most expensive seamasters?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Some references only come with the printed Seamaster while some have the emblem. But some references exist with all three versions, plain (mainly for engraving purposes), raise emblem (it can be for a specific market, or dial variation), and printed (most common).

Omega enthusiast question for you.what is a great vintage seamaster to have and collect.I want to buy one from you again.I would like one without a date on it.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

A great vintage Seamaster is one in great condition. You can buy the greatest Seamaster out there, but if it's condition is not great, will not make it a great Seamaster. There are too many great Seamaster when one is in great condition. Do you know what era of Seamaster do you prefer? 1950s? 1960s?

Hmm, where is Omega Geneve? :-) Ohh, I am sorry, Geneve is entry lev. vintage Omega , sorry again ... :-)

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Entry level? Maybe price wise on some. But some Geneve can be quite pricey. And many Geneves are actually successors of the Seamaster. For example, a Seamaster 600 like the one in this video changes to a Geneve in 1968. :)

[@fredfarnackle5455]

@@TimelessHistoryChannel Hi, I have a caliber 552 gold plated Automatic Geneve, it has the screw back (165.002) with the seahorse on it. I always thought it was a Seamaster. Serial number is 22181948 which looks to be early 1965, I bought it in 1965 or 1966. So, is it a Seamaster? How come Omega changed between Geneve and Seamaster apparently at random - can you throw any light on that? Also, it got water in it soon after I bought it (SCUBA diving with it!!) and was repaired under warranty so now has a non-Omega crown and crystal. I would like to fit an Omega crown and crystal but from what I have read I need to quote the case number - is that the number inside the case back? Thank you for any help you can give.

[@igedeputra8625]

Bro, the color of the watch doesn't fade for a long time

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

That will depends on how well you take care and protect the watch. Wrong crystal and old gasket will make the watch age quickly.
