I'm not very keen on gold-filled or plated cases.
Same here, I'd rather have solid gold (even low karat) or steel.

That appears to have a restored dial which usually means a lower price for collectors.
I have an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional that I wear daily and it takes a beating. The Speedmasters use an acrylic/plastic face in lieu of Quartz (I read somewhere it had to do with the watch being used in Spaceflights) It scuffs and scratches like a mother (also due to the raised face). I am a FIRM believer in Meguiars Plastx as well

Are there any other vintage watch brands with a similar look to the Omegas that might be got for $200 or less? These Omegas are beautiful, and an object of lust for me, but I simply can't afford one right now.

Depends on which Omega look you like I suppose. Longines would be worth a look around that price point, something like this but in stainless would be a great start imho http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=150145084342

Mark, my impression has been that "gold-filled" is an ambiguous term--or let's say one that is used loosely and imprecisely. Is there, to your knowledge, an agreed-upon, or perhaps, regulation-mandated definition of it?

Well, there are lots of vintage watches out there for less money than the Omegas. Let's see what some forumers can come up with. One brand that springs to mind is Hamilton, although I haven't checked prices. Bulova is another.
