Would anyone here wear this?
Can't make my mind up...It's a keybolt compressor style quartz Seamaster, apparently, I have been informed from another watch forum. It's the only vintage watch I have (well, it's my dad's), and it has an Omega 1342 which is a pre Swatch Group calibre. it's in for a service at the moment but I think my dad may be planning to sell it; he wants a Rolex and I think this watch is in the firing line. Should I try to stop him? It's his to sell of course, but I may be able to sway him if I can convince him (and myself) that it is cool enough. To me it's a lovely dresswatch (I don't own a dresswatch) and a piece of Omega history but I'm also happy for him if he gets that Submariner he wants. What to do...

He should just give it to you, buy his Rolex and everyone is happy.

We could share it since the strap is adjustable. Oh I dunno. Thanks for the input guys.

You could always offer to buy it from him.

I'm considering it. It's such a strange watch I have no idea what it may be worth. I'm going to ask the AD to include a valuation when I get my price quote on what needs repairing (they will phone me when Omega gets back to them).
