The reasons why Omega vintage watches are good to buy:

1.Value/Investment. They hold their value brilliantly and should actually increase in value over the next few years as they become rarer and rarer. Buying a brand new watch is like a car, as soon as it leaves the premises the prices drops by at least 20%. A vintage watch like this in excellent condition and serviced by a Omega specialist is very difficult to find.

2.Stealth Wealth. A leading American news commentator wrote an article regarding \"Stealth wealth\" - where this watch type is purchased by gentleman who tend to purchase things that are discrete and very sophisticated. Basically a subtle way to show off the exquisiteness of good taste.

SERVICING

This watch has just had a full service. These in itself can be very expensive, upwards of £400 + VAT. Like cars engines the performance of your watch\'s movement is likely to deteriorate over time if not cared for properly. Watches like this should be serviced at least once every 5 years. There are different oils used in wristwatches. Oils can dry up and lose their cohesiveness over time. Naturallylike a car, a serviced watch can also help the appreciation value

The full service included the following:

Removal of the movement from its case |Complete disassembling of the movement |Full ultrasonic cleaning of the case and bracelet (if applicable) |Acrylic glass polishing |All parts are then cleaned |The movement is then reassembled, applying fresh lubricants | The watch has been regulated to maximize its performance.

I am selling lots more items including my French holiday home where I dropped the price from £350k > £275k. Also selling a couple more watches, top notch gents & ladies ones. Have a look.

I have excellent response from well over 800 sales. I have recently been upgraded to a \"Power Seller\". Therefore offer with complete confidence.

To drum up interest I am shipping Worldwide for this one. Any collector out there I\'m sure you would agree what a rare find this is. I can dispatch within 24 hours of payment being received. You will receive very fast.

Any questions drop me a mail.

Some trivia on Omega watches:

1. In 1848 a 23 year old named Louis Brandt is credited with starting the brand which later became Omega.

2. In the early 1900\'s OMEGA\'s watches were prized by railroad professionals in China, the United States, Canada and much of Europe.

4. Omega was a major supplier of watches to large ministries of defense, especially during the 1st and 2nd World Wars. The company\'s timepieces would go on to be used by the armed and special forces of British, France, Italy, USA, Norway, Sweden, Canada to name a few.

6. Past world leaders such as JFK and Mikhail Gorbachev choice of watch. Pope John Paul II wore Omega watches.

7. Before official chronometers, Olympic chronographs or the NASA-approved Speedmasters Omega watches.

8. Omega \"Pie Pan\" is used a term in the industry /collectors to describethe style dials from other models. The dial that has the hour/minute markers placed in a concentric ring that slopes down at a constant angle i.e, not rounded, from a raised flat center, and that the center is often a contrasting color or tone. This design usually commands a premium price and seen in the Constellation & De Ville models.
