: Hello everyone-

: I am a long time vintage Omega collecter and
: was looking for advice on this website,
: since many of the people here sound
: experienced. First off, I have an Omega
: Seamaster DeVille quartz cal 1342 with a
: date, 10k yellow gold filled case, and a
: gold dial with 9 diamonds on it. I am fairly
: confidant that the diamonds are original
: factory stock, but in Omega's vintage
: catalougue there is no record of this watch
: (as with many other odd ones I own). Would
: anyone have a guess to what it is worth? As
: for as the condition goes it's a 9 out of
: 10. Any help would be appreciated.

: I also have another uncommon Omega that needs
: an appraisal. It is a SS Seamaster that is
: completely digital, and has a cal. 1620
: movement in it. Has a light and Chronograph
: and I've seen some Speedmasters with this
: caliber but never a Seamaster. If it helps I
: think these were meant for the Austrailian
: market, having bought this watch from
: Austrailia, and the websites of the
: Speedmaster being Austrailian. Once again
: any help would be more than welcome.

: Last I have more of an opinon issue. I am
: considering to purchase a vintage Seamaster
: Diving watch. Should I get a Seamaster 120
: with a blue face and dial, or a Seamaster
: 300 with black? I'm leaning toward the 120
: since it being so uncommon, but perhaps one
: of you can change my mind.

: Thanks, Spencer

Hi Spencer,

You don't say where you are from but I recently had my two vintage Omegas appraised professionally by National Gemological Svc Ltd from Belleville, Michigan. Their phone # is (313) 399-7260. They were at the auth dealer that I bought my new Omega AT from. The two vintage watches that I own are from the late sixties. The one is a two tone 14K gold plated and SS. It is not in the best condition and I paid $100.00 USD. It appraised for $250.00 USD. The other is very nice and I paid 145.00 USD for it. They appraised it for $400.00 USD. It is 14K gold plated and looks great. The only thing is that the leather strap isn't that great. It is in good shape but is not an Omega strap. This watch takes a 22mm strap and those are hard to come by.
