Re: Good deal? (Vintage Omega)

: I have the opportunity to purchase two older Omega's. Just wanted
: to run it buy you guys and see if you all think they are worth
: the price.

: One is a 1952 351 cal. 'Bumper Wind' automatic. black lizard skin
: band, wears fine as is, but band is worn, the other is a 1957
: 470 cal automatic, has cheap black alligator-looking band, but
: wears ok.

Pics aren't good enough to get closeup of the dial. If one or both are redials then its not really a great deal. One for sure has an incorrect crown. Looks like both need some work. $200 to $300 a piece for servicing and parts. Not worth getting them IMO if either is redialled. better to put $400 to one really nice piece. See if u can get better closeup pics.
