Hello everyone again,
Greatly appreciated the responses from the last post but following on from that. He was returned with more photos, this watch below has been redialed. I understand that it doesn’t appeal to collectors and it significantly devalues the watch. However I’m happy enough with the way it looks but I don’t want to over pay. He his offering £2k which I believe is way too much as it’s not a great redial and has been over polished. What would you be willing to buy it for as a…

Hopefully we don’t already have a thread like this (I couldn’t find one, but I suck at the search function), but waffle and hobnail dials are some of the best in my opinion. Let’s see what you’ve got, all brands welcome! I’ll start with these two vintage Omegas:

Hi Forum,
Will need your kind help to verify if this is authentic.
I’m only limited to these photos here.
Thank you

Dear Omega forum. I need help from the experts here. I want to buy a metal bracelet for a 345.0809 Omega. According to Omega, only the more modern version with the reference 020st1998849, i.e. the “massive” 1998/849, can be seen in system and ordered in the system.

I have been given this watch, which has been in a cupboard for at least 40 years. The crown is fairly stiff, but I can set the hands (no hacking seconds), and I was able to wind it and it ran for a day or so, so it works. A couple of the lug holes look a little marginal, so it’s been worn plenty. I can’t take the back off, though I’ll take it to someone soon.

Anyone know about the model or anything else about it?

A while back I bought a racing dial Speedmaster Mark II. The bracelet was a link or two short, but that wasn’t an issue. I already had an Uncle Seiko 1162, so I just put a 1162/173 service clasp on it and called it a day. It’s probably heresy of me to say it, but I like the US 1162 better than the Omega 1162 anyway. I put the watch on the US bracelet and tossed the other one in the “Omega Bracelets” bin.

Today I pulled out the bracelet that came with the watch to take a second look at it. I…
