Vintage Omega Sub Second

Seen this in the Classifieds -

Thoughts on it; price-wise and the like?
I quite fancy a Vintage and it appeals to me in an IWC-like way.

He says the watch has been refurbished Which is good, but for my personal tastes the face is far too new looking, I like my vintage watches with a bit of patina.

Price seems a little on the cheap side to me....

Exactly what I was thinking... I did try and find one online but Googling turned nothing up...

I do quite like the look of it.
Would be interested to hear more views!

I like the look of that! But dammit man, do you really need more watches?

[LukeBird]

You may well be correct Tony!

A friend of mine saw this thread and text me exactly that!
Oh and I will get some photos of the Omegas up, the Speedie is fabulous!

Couple of nice vintage Omegas with the above.

There is one similar looking watch on there, but unfortunately no price as it is on hold.

Any further thoughts?

anything take your fancy here? (knew I had more vintage Omega links somewhere as I was looking for some time!)

[LukeBird]

Must stop looking at watches!!

I see there is a very similar looking example to the one in my OP, albeit a military model. Very nice!

Think that the price looks good, but you should think about the size. Most modern recreations (such as the Heuer Carrera) are much bigger than they were in period because of changing fashions. At 33mm, it'll look like a kid's timex unless you've got tiny, tiny wrists.

[LukeBird]

Was just thinking that.
I do have very slim wrists, but I think even that may well be lost on me...
Shame because I rather like it!
