Figured I would never own a Rolex, and wound up Purchasing a 1969 Omega Seamaster 300 with date window at an estate auction over 20 years ago. I’ve replaced the face, hands, crystal, crown and case back from a now defunct Watchco out of Australia (affects the collector value, but I don’t care) and it runs like a champ as my everyday watch. I’ve taken care of a nice vintage Omega Speedmaster reduced that I will present to my son in August when he graduates from Duke University’s Physician Associate program. He’s a rather bright boyo who’s just starting to get into watches.
I just sold an old seamaster
I had forgotten I even had it but a friend said something about vintage watch prices.
I stopped at a local clock shop to ask if they could open it up for me and one of the customers asked to buy it
Getting close to this territory :-)
