re: Picked up my first luxury watch yesterday - Omega Seamaster

I've never owned a new Omega. I've had a few old Omega Seamasters over the years. Other people always liked them more than I did, though. I've never paid a lot for one. Somehow, I've always managed to find them cheap. My first one was a 1967 found in the bottom of a box with a bunch of glasses and odd costume jewelry from an estate sale. It was in good shape with no band. I paid to have it cleaned up and got a band for it. Wore it a few times and sold it to a friend. Another I bought off of a table at a flea market for $10.00. That one was older and in worse shape than the other, but was repairable. Again, no band. I sold it the next day to a guy who collects old Omega's. He got it running. No idea what he paid for that.

I've had a few others that I paid a little more for, mostly from estates or from people who just wanted to get rid of stuff.
