Which Vintage Rolex Watch Should You Buy?

Pre owned Omega Watches tend to hold or indeed increase in value, as opposed to new, which tend to depreciate as soon as you leave the store. So, buying pre owned is a shrewd financial decision, plus you will probably get what you want much sooner.

&nbsp;

When you buy a perfect, fully tested and warrantied pre-owned Omega watch from Oakleigh Watches, you will normally be saving a considerable amount and still getting a watch that you can rely on 100%.

&nbsp;

Below are 5 key things to consider when buying pre owned Omega watches.

&nbsp;

1. Investment, Pleasure or Both?

If you’re buying purely for investment, then you don’t need to worry about the style of watch. Rather, you need to focus on whether a model is desirable now and whether it is likely to be so for the foreseeable future. So, my top three tips …

&nbsp;

• Always go for a watch with the widest appeal and the most limited supply.

&nbsp;

• If it’s purely for investment purposes, buy the very best example you can find. After all you don’t have to worry about damaging it if it’s only going to sit in your safe.

&nbsp;

• Make sure you buy a Full Set – box, papers, service records and accessories.

&nbsp;

If buying for pleasure and or both pleasure and investment – keep reading.

&nbsp;

2. Style

If you are wanting to wear your Omega watch, pick something that has style longevity, suits your style and your wrist.

&nbsp;

There are literally hundreds of watches to choose from, varying in size, colour, purpose and so on.

&nbsp;

The most popular pre owned Omega watches tend to be sports watches and are split into two main groups – the Omega Speedmaster and the Omega Seamaster.

&nbsp;

There are several models of Speedmaster, but the two key ones are:

• The Moonwatch is the classic manual winding chronograph with a steel caseback and a Hesalite plexiglass. One of the most iconic watches ever made, it’s a beautifully designed statement for your wrist.

&nbsp;

• The Speedmaster Sapphire is a more modern automatic watch. The display back gives it a special unique edge and the Sapphire Crystal makes it more robust.

&nbsp;

You will find many variations on the classic Omega Speedmaster theme including limited editions, different case sizing and added complications.

&nbsp;

Speedmasters tend to have a case size that is between 42-43mm plus the chronograph pushers. While they’re relatively slim, they are quite wide on the wrist.

&nbsp;

There are 4 models of Seamaster:

• The Omega Seamaster 300 is a classic 1960’s style Diver. Ideal for those looking for something with a vintage feel – a slightly smaller watch.

• The Omega Seamaster Diver is a modern take on the dive watch, worn for years by Bond, James Bond. The case is bigger (up to 42mm) but not bulky, so ideal sports watch for a daily wearer.

• The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is a bigger dive watch than the others with a helium release valve and deeper depth rating. Perfect for ‘actual’ divers or for those that like something substantial on their wrist.

• The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is a slighter dressier take on the Seamaster and while still sporty, is more suited to a three piece suit than a wetsuit.

&nbsp;

3. Size

Does matter when it comes to watches. However, it is all down to confidence and perspective.

&nbsp;

Just because you’re small in stature, doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t carry off a larger timepiece. In fact, it’s very much the fashion for women to wear oversized men’s watches.

&nbsp;

For a man, it’s all about confidence. If you feel comfortable going big and will wear a 43mm + proudly, then it will look good. If you’re going to be self-conscious, then pick something classic like a Seamaster 300 or the Aqua Terra.

&nbsp;

Most modern watches tend to have larger cases, simply because as a nation we are bigger. If you want something small, you might want to look at vintage models (pre 1980).

&nbsp;

4. Vintage or Modern

The choice between a vintage or modern watch is partly one of personal taste and partly one of robustness.

&nbsp;

We mentioned above about the fact that vintage tend to be smaller in fact, the Omega Speedmaster was 4mm smaller in the 1960’s than it is now. So, if you like a slightly smaller vintage look, then this might be for you.

&nbsp;

On the other hand, if you want to wear your Speedmaster every day, then you should go for a newer one as the 321 movement from the 1960’s can be fragile and expensive to repair.

&nbsp;

Modern watches are more robust due to developments in technology and therefore are more hard wearing and suited to regular as opposed to occasional wear.

&nbsp;

Servicing costs for a vintage watch can be higher and parts hard to come by – two important considerations when choosing between modern and vintage pre owned Omega watches.

&nbsp;

5. Fashion or Function

What do you want your Omega for?

&nbsp;

Omega watches are among the most precise in the world and they’ve set more precision records than anyone else. Because of this they have long been associated with timing at major sporting events including both Summer and Winter Olympics.

&nbsp;

If you do want a sports watch for actual sport, the Omega Seamaster models are the best place to start.

&nbsp;

If you’re simply looking for a fantastic watch made to the highest of standards, then you can have some fun choosing.

This Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GoodPlanet GMT is one of the most unusual and lesser-seen Planet Ocean models - a watch many enthusiasts have never encountered in the wild. Created as part of Omega’s partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation, a portion of the proceeds from each watch supported projects dedicated to preserving mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs across Southeast Asia.
What truly sets this Planet Ocean apart is its exclusive blue and orange colourway, unique to the GoodPlanet GMT. Bold yet perfectly balanced, it delivers serious wrist presence while remaining unmistakably Planet Ocean.
Condition is excellent, with no scratches, dents, or dings. The movement was serviced one year ago and has just been freshly tested, running strongly within COSC specification.
Supplied as a complete Full Set, it includes original boxes, booklets, tags, and all factory accessories. The watch is also covered by a 12-month warranty for complete confidence.
Built by Omega, this Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GoodPlanet GMT offers something genuinely different - a high-performance professional dive watch with a meaningful backstory and rare visual identity.
