Which Starter Vintage Omega Watches are Affordable, Reliable, and Sturdy?

[@mansoor9894]

Thank you for this video! I have my eyes on 136.070, i just wish i could find a producer of exhibition case backs for this reference

[@Omega30t2RG]

Nice watches! Theses movements are probably the last great movements that omega made before the 70s quartz crisis. Also,if a collector wanted to collect just omega 550/600 family movements,the case,model and style variations are many.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

I totally agree!

This is cool because the Omega I have had for a while now is the 165.070 cal. 552 automatic genevé. And it hasn’t let me down.

Do a video about Omega buckles

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

There are too many kind of buckles. But there is a nice article on vintage Omega buckles on the Omega forums.

Thanks for sharing all your information on the bewildering references from Omega. I have 1940’s 2319 and it has clearly had the dial refinished sometime in the past however in my time with the watch a fingerprint stain has started to appear - clearly someone has handled this in the past without gloves. My question is would you have it refinished again?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Since the dial has already been refinished, there is nothing wrong with redialing it again if you find the old refinish is not good. :)

Evening.have you produced any films on the omega dynamic geneve automatic range of time pieces .thanks

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Good evening, Unfortunately, I have not. They are great watches though. :)

[@mercuriall2810]

⁠@@TimelessHistoryChannelThey certainly are. They might not appeal to as many people as the references you covered in this video, but for people who like them, the earlier versions contain top quality Omega movements and they tend to be even more affordable than the watches featured here. The early Dynamics don’t have a screw off caseback, but as a watchmaker I’ve noticed that monocoque watches tend to be less likely to have suffered from being “serviced” by a butcher. The case design tends to either scare away the butchers, or show telltale damage from a butcher’s attempts to open the watch, warning a potential buyer of what unfortunate surprises might be lurking within.

Are the dials of the two watches refinished? They look like new :)

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

They are all factory originals. I will not present anything with a redial or rebuilt. This is an educational channel, so it’s important to show a piece with all its correct parts and, most importantly, a factory-original finish dial. 😊

Enjoying your videos. Thanks for continuing doing this informative videos.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

You’re most welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@ad.6472]

Or get a Seiko Skyliner which has a timeless design and is very affordable 😊.

Should watchmakers always replace seals, during a service ? Are they all obtainable ?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Yes, they should. A gasket doesn’t cost much to replace, and it can save you a lot of money by preventing moisture from entering your watch. If you own a regular automatic or manual wind vintage watch, I would say 99.9% of the time, the gasket is obtainable. It is no different from a modern-made gasket.
