Dear all, I want an omega watch like in the picture and it is either very expensive or I cannot find it. I am a student and I am in Germany at the moment. Any way to get a good rep of this?

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Not sure this is repped, and if it is the quality isn't probably the best. You can try AliExpress or dhgate (still low quality) or look to buy a set and build it yourself, if it exists. I'll tag @Karbon74 who has some knowledge in these pieces.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.

Hi

I can make a Constellation Pie Pan but a De Ville I can no longer find rep parts easily

That said, what is « expensive » for you
You can get this as gen for 400-600€ from Japan, and with tax it will be around 800€



This one (quartz though) is available in Germany for even cheaper

That's a lot for the average student.

Those vintage Omegas can sometimes be found for a fraction of what they're actually worth. A few years ago, I snapped up a 70s Quartz Seamaster on eBay that usually went for 300-500 EUR back then for as little as 150 EUR. Was originally listed for 200. Takes much patience and some luck though.

Unfortunately, there aren't many reps of Omegas from that era, but here and there they exist. A 180-200 USD vintage Seamaster 300 rep could probably satisfy the itch for a vintage Omega for the time being?

Is it?

Oh ok.

Well, it's probably not as much as it used to be 5 or 10 years ago in terms of its purchasing power due to increased inflation. The problem is that people's wages (esp. low wage jobs that students typically work in) don't keep up with increased prices.

So yeah, if your parents aren't wealthy, it's still a lot of dough for a student.

This is really an old vintage De Ville Seamaster.

I believe you can check on Ebay or some other genuine vintage Omega Forums that have such pieces advertised.

I believe it should cost below Eur500 or so.

Thanks
