My New Vintage Omega

Hello everyone,

i just picked this up the other day and no nothing about it. i think it looks nice, and am excited to hear your inputs about what it is. i know it uses the 617 movement. it is my new "every day" watch that i don't need to worry about scraping up!

here are some pics:

Nice Geneve! If you get the caseback open you can find the exact model number. It looks like it could use a nice cleaning, maybe a rebrushing as well but it's not in bad condition.

was just thinking that it needed a full service. I'm thinking it would be around 700 or so?

I think it depends who you send it to, if you send it to Omega Bienne it will probably cost that much. If you get it sent to an independent it will cost less. However, I think that the service will probably cost more than what it's really worth.

True. i was looking online, and it appears to be worth around $300 or so. (super cheap considering how much my rolex's are. but then again, i really like it, and I'm not all to worried about selling it or keeping its value. i think in 5 months or so, it will deserve a full service. i will definitely have one of the nicest ones out there!
