I am very happy. Vintage (read used) was definitely the way to go. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Awesome! Where did you get it from? And how big is the case?

Probably a 35mm

A reputable seller on EBay (still scary, but I did my research). The case is 35mm without the crown. It is small, but for my wrists, I think it will work well.

Thank you :) it is a 1970's Seamaster caliber 1020.

That's what I figured but I wasn't sure

Very nice. I like that a lot. The bracelet is really cool too, and I’ve never seen one with that design. There’s definitely a ton of value in vintage Omega.

I had never seen a bracket like it either. That's what attracted me to it.

It’s beautiful! I did the same thing back in 2003. Bought my used, six-year-old Breitling from a dealer on eBay. It came with the box and paperwork, and I saved $1,000 over retail. I’ve worn it ever since, and it runs flawlessly.

I was excited until I saw it’s just an automatic...

;-)

It looks good, enjoy it!

It looks sweet!

How do you find a trustworthy ebay retailer for something like this?

Also, which retailer did you buy this from?

That’s a great find. Hopefully you got a good price on it as well. Wear it as often as you can!

Thanks. I picked it up for just over 400. I will definitely try!
