I guess we can debate the merits of why one would buy vintage and whether the "vintage" look is important. I was attracted to the vintage Omegas because of the simple, classic desing, the signature Omega movement, and the small size (I have small wrists). With these sellers, I can get all those benefits while getting a watch that looks almost new.

The second one with the blue face actually isn't as clean and does have some marks, which that picture just masks. I figure I can do some work on my end to get it cleaner.

The third one with the gold bezel is sold by the same guys as the first one. Several SF members have bought from the same source and have been extremely happy, so I feel comfortable with that.


Can you let me know the source on the 1st and 3d watch. Looks lovely, I especially like the gold one.

Too add to my request list - I'm looking for a good quality navy alligator band. My last one was Di-Modell but they seem to have gone through the roof in price. Any suggestions on that?

Need your help guys. Would you sell this one? I thought I wanted it. But I have a buyer right now, and I don't know what to do.

It's a sweet watch but I would need to know what else you've got in the stable, if you're going to replace it and with what.

Rolex Submariner, Tag Heuer Monaco (McQueen version) and Omega Speedmaster are his fellows. Nothing else in mind (till 42mm Radiomir are on the street

^ Nice classic collection. I would keep the Mk XV, but I'm biased.

Which 42mm Radiomir are you waiting for?

These wonderful things... Pam 336, 337, 338. Although the one in the middle is the 378 not the 336 (just different dial color, black/brown).

Would you only sell it or replace it? If replace, PLEASE do not say you would then get the Mark XVI. The XV is a classic, the XVI is just fugly.

Edit: just saw your other posts. Personally, I'd sell one of the others and keep the XV. You don't have one like that, and the 3 you have are all more similar. But perhaps that's how you like it. Not a Pam fan myself.
