In Response To: Expert help needed ()

: (1) Did Omega make a ladies Seamaster in '63?

Yes.

: If so, what is "Turler"?

Turler, like Bucherer, was a large jewelry store that added their name on to the dials of many of the fine watches they sold.

: (2) Is the watch (if legit) worth the $495
: asking price?

You forgot some critical info, like is it steel, solid gold, or some form of filled gold? Is the condition near mint, excellent, fair.

In general, the Geneve series was a more economical line of Omega watches back then. But prices on vintage ladies models are harder to determine as there are so few for sale.

I'd say US $495 was probably high for a steel model, maybe a little high for a gold version. Unless they have been fully reconditioned. But the fact that there is one right there that you like is worth a small premium -- otherwise you could be hunting for quite a while to find another.
