It was 30% off.

My dad was a big UG fan. I bought a watch he would have appreciated with money he left me.

Hi, recently I’ve been going through my stuff at the attic, and I came over this watch. Not really expert in this matter, but I found this Omega Constellation. Can anybody please take a look at the pictures and tell whether this is a replica or a original one? And if it is original, what is rough estimate on this one? Thanks a lot.

Just arrived today and loving it.

Some more pictures of my new old Heuer 1000 professional.

I inherited this watch from my grandfather. How much roughly do you think it would be for this must de Cartier manual winding watch?

Edit: the inside says “golden shield” and “antimagnetic”, also there is a “B” on the dial
My meemaw gifted me this watch for Christmas. She said she’s had it since she was in high school… ‘60s? Maybe. It weighs an ounce exactly. Also any advice on how to make it bigger so I can wear?? She has tiny wrists haha.Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m researching a family heirloom that recently came into my possession: a mid-1960s 18k solid gold Omega Seamaster.

It has a few features I’m struggling to find exact matches for, specifically the heavy 18k gold mesh bracelet and the polished, logo-free caseback. There are some specific hallmarks on the clasp (361 VI and 750) that suggest an Italian origin, but I haven't been able to find much documentation on Omega's use of these specific workshops.

The clasp also features a "Love Roberta" engraving from the original owner.

I’m looking for any insights on:

• The Bracelet: Does anyone recognize the "361 VI" hallmark or know which Italian workshop Omega may have contracted for these?
• Caseback: Is the plain caseback standard for 18k Seamasters of this period?
• Market: Any thoughts on whether this was a standard catalog item or a specific regional configuration?

I've attached high-res photos of the dial, hallmarks, and case. Looking forward to hearing what you all think!

This will be my first time buying a vintage watch [Polerouter UG].

There are 2 concerns [third pic].

1. On the crystal below the date, there is some kind of moisture or something? Identified because it has different color than the surroundings. What could possibly it be? And is this a dealbreaker for you?
2. On the second

arrow below,

1. there's a small dent. It's not easily visible without closer look but it's there you can feel it. Is this a dealbreaker for you or is this normal for a vintage watch?

I'm also curious - if it's okay to open up a dial and check from there?

I picked this up today in a secondhand store in Japan and I think it’s the coolest watch I’ve ever seen. Got it for a steal and found some stuff online about it. I think it’s a watch from Citizen, being the Trans Continents, but couldn’t really find more information about it. I would love to hear everything you know because I am in love with it already.

Still working, original strap. Just recovered from the back of my sock drawer. 😍

I saw this vintage citizen on reddit, i found it Quirky but very attractive,and I always wanted to own a vintage watch, I bought it, but my girlfriend,my mother both hate it alot, only some uncles (no disrespect)like this watch. Alot of them ask about it.

Hey all, hoping someone can help - I am traveling in Asia and found this Rolex, I am obsessed but a bit worried about the price (28k) and it being fully authentic. So hoping anyone may be able to provide any insight. I am cool with dropping 28k but don’t want to if the actual market is like 10k (I don’t really resell anything but peace of mind etc.)

I apologize for the lack of pics, but that’s all I have. There is also some tarnish on the bracelet to the right of the 12 indicator

Thanks again for any feedback!

SKX779 in all its glory.

I bought this KS few months ago and I still can't find any ref with the gold markers and hands paired with a silver case.

Do you think it could be a dial from another ref wich had a gold plated case ?

Or is it a genuine reference? I haven't found anything about this combination yet.

However this watch is amazing, last serviced in 2019 and is running at +5s/week if wound correctly every day.

Tends to lose time quickly if not wound for more than 24h. I think the power reserve is probably less than factory now, I want to service it ahah.

Every angles of the case and dial indexes are so nice to look at, the 36mm is made for my wrist.

I love it.

Got it for 400 euros.

I still need to get this serviced, but so far replaced the band, a gasket, and the crystal. One of my favorite finds this year.
