First Omega and New member!

Hey everyone! So this is basically my first real post on here. I just joined up on the forum yesterday. I have always been a huge watch fan my entire life and I finally bought my first legit watch.

I wanted something classy and dressier so I went with a vintage Omega Seamaster. I was doing a lot of research on vintage Omegas before I found one and purchased. The 565 movement is suppose to be one of the more reliable ones Omega made so I jumped at the chance to buy this one. I'm pretty excited with it.

The ubiquitous 565 movement was a stalwart for Omega in the 60's and 70's! Nice piece, enjoy your ownership!!
