Title: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: ddnnbl2 on April 17, 2018, 03:02:44 PM: Hi All

I'm collected various brands so far but i'm always drawn to omegas, the yesteryears design.
any recommendation for vintage omegas?

I will prefer vintage Rolex , the Rolex movement is always more better than omega.

Post by: SLK on June 27, 2018, 05:13:34 PM: I’ve been eyeing on vintage omega as well! Beautiful watches at reasonable price!
Would agree that Rolex is the better watch but their vintage watches just cost too much

Post by: koryong on June 27, 2018, 11:16:11 PM: It's so darn common to see everyone having a Rolex nowadays ... like AA .... now everyone can fly but actually not cheap ;D

So yes, collecting vintage Omegas is definitely worthwhile ... prices are not as crazy but also gradually climbing.

Even Jib kor prefers vintage Rolex :Laughing_on_floor:

Post by: Watchlover90 on July 10, 2018, 09:24:59 PM: Some of the sports watches are in atm.. but other than that it's a gamble..

Just buy something you enjoy wearing .. that's all the worth you need

Post by: wateveritis on July 28, 2018, 06:58:34 AM: I guess both vintage rolex and omega is worth collecting but you must be familiar with the watch itself to prevent yourself getting a fake watch. There are more fake Rolex out there as compare to Vintage Omega Speedmaster, can't say much about Omega Constellation/Grand De Luxe, etc.

Post by: ddnnbl2 on September 25, 2018, 06:32:46 PM: i ended up buying a few vintages Omega, cal 7xx & 10xx. :D even a seamaster quartz cos was hard to find an auto
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: WhiteComet on January 21, 2019, 09:00:13 AM: I had a vintage seamaster before. (from early 70s). My father gave it to me to wear for like 4 months.

He sold it since a friend of his make some good offer. I miss it a lot, should've just stop him from selling. Then again, I'm not into watch at that time.

Post by: kk72 on January 26, 2019, 04:22:07 PM: vintage Omega speedmaster is really worth collecting, especially the one with tropical dial.

Post by: lztan21 on April 14, 2019, 12:33:53 PM: Some selected models are beautiful, and can rival the vintage Rolexes, IWcs, and Pateks! not to mention the price points which made it so much easier for a beginner to enter!
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: josephw on April 17, 2019, 03:44:47 PM: Agree, there are many in the secondary market. So drawn to the vintage type but not sure which one/model to collect.
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: 2bad on April 30, 2019, 12:25:12 PM: Tbh i think omega from the 60s is the best esp those with 5xx movement. The movement itself is so nice looking.

Post by: eugenegan on May 10, 2019, 02:19:09 PM: IMO, omega dress watches try getting before 1970 usually better. I myself just got a Mark 40 and suits someone who can’t wear a moonwatch 42mm.
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: mh17 on May 21, 2019, 08:04:06 PM: Vintage Seamaster 300 gets the vote from me, though not as popular as the Speedies (which I believe is due to the heavily marketed moon factor), to me they are much more beautiful and has a unique dial design, unlike the Speedies which look like most other chronographs with black dials

Post by: wwf on May 30, 2019, 09:45:40 PM: ????? sea master is very famous in China, but value wise and if you are affordable, go for Rolex.

The thread is about vintage omega. This isn’t a omega vs Rolex thread

Post by: Hermanyee213 on June 06, 2019, 10:27:39 AM: YES, SEAMASTER WORTH TO COLLECT
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: RichGoD on July 22, 2019, 02:27:18 PM: speedmaster cal 321 :thumbsup:
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: eugenegan on July 24, 2019, 09:42:59 AM: Seamasters without diving bezel look better.
Speedies are just badass in general, especially on bracelet and beaten up. but I can't say I'm a big fan.
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: ehfoo1976 on September 02, 2019, 10:13:58 PM: I like the seamaster big blue. Like the huge size.
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: francis226 on September 19, 2019, 07:38:30 AM: To me, i would still prefer vintage Rolex ;D
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: Watchxcraze on September 19, 2019, 04:17:04 PM: There's no such thing as being worthy or not. If you're drawn to one, go for it. Btw, Check out the vintage seamster 300.
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: exodus on March 13, 2020, 12:35:37 PM: I don't think you'll ever go wrong with the Seamaster.

If you like wearing them then it's a great deal.

I'm not a big fan of the idea that watches are an investment.
Title: Re: are vintage omegas worth collecting?
Post by: Walllee18 on March 19, 2020, 07:29:44 AM: Definitely they are worth collecting, especially those with rich history like 40s Omegas used by RAF and in WW2.
