Great video, if you like the railway design watches like the UG towards the end of the video check out Perseo FS models. The ones issued to the Italian railway have a unique number stamped on the caseback, commercial models are called Railking. They are high quality with Cortebert/Unitas movements and are usually very affordable.
Thank you very much DK - I really appreciate this video - all your recommendations are excellent with both the Movado and UG brands having so much to offer collectors. Have a safe, healthy and happy holiday season !!!
Thank you so much Vaughan. My video is always honest and straight fact. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holidays and Happy 2021! Thank you for all of your support to this channel. Please stay safe.
Another great video! Thanks! I'd love to see a comparison video of top recommendations for first time vintage buyers. I've been on the edge of buying some kind of 1950s Constellation or Seamaster.
Take good care of both and enjoy matching a nice strap for the GP. Watch my video on matching straps. It will help you to pick out the right one for your watch. :)
Hi lovely video, I don't think many of these can be bought for under $1000 anymore!? :( By the way what is the title of the magazine you were flipping? Looks cool thanks!
I can't say for sure. You probably still can if you want to own one in "as is" condition. You can find the book here: th-cam.com/video/-uNwoxk9Wf0/w-d-xo.html
I would like another Top 5 video in Omega Enthusiast channel with great brands like Tissot, Mido, Certina, Eterna, Zenith (Cyma, Vulcain, Hamilton, Eberhard, ...).
I'm sure I'll produce more. There are currently 3 of these videos. THere are too many great brands out there, it is hard to fit everything into one video. :-)
Spider dials are very interesting and loved by a group of collector. However, regardless of the model or brand, thoroughly examine the condition of the dial before you buy it. Spider dial is an unique way of aging and is actually the dial cracking up. It looks cool, so collectors describe the crack this way to make it sounds interesting. If you tell the client that the dial is cracking, he/she will most likely not want to buy it. You will find that this mainly happens to 1960s glossy dial watches. I guess it is the chemical used on watch dials during that era. Examine the dial to make sure that no crack is peeling or missing on the dial. As long as everything appear well cracked, you are safe to buy it. And inform your watchmaker to be gentle when cleaning such a dial.
Nice! Well, normally when the dial is blank then the model is unsigned. Meaning a regular model. But that does not mean you bought a bad watch. Condition is most important. The model design is only a personal preference thing.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel awesome, thanks! Looking forward to getting it. I have zero experience with working on movements but looking forward to trying to polish it and bringing some new life to the crystal and case. Looking at some of your "how to" vids for inspiration. Thanks, and looking forward to picking up one of your Omegas or that Universal Geneve once your new site goes up.
@@cdb5001 You're welcome. Try not to polish the case if you can or do anything to the dial/hands. You want to keep the watch as original as you can. Clean the case is fine. Polish the crystal is fine also.
It’s a watch collector book with price guide that I bought from Chapter book store about 9 years ago. It is a nice book to look at brands and some of their designs. But I highly do not recommend for the use of price guide. The prices shown in any book is never that accurate compared to what people sell in the real market.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel Hi! Could you please write for us the full reference of the book you show in the video so that we can find it? I’d really like to buy it online! Btw, how much is it? Thanx in advance
Great information, right to the point and very helpful.. Have considered some of your Longines just very much focused on your Omega's right now. What is your life time special warranty? Have a Merry Christmas!!
Oh boy, apologize that I never informed you about it. Any of my regular manual wind or automatic vintage Omega or Longines sold on the site will come with a year warranty. When that expired, the lifetime special warranty will take over. That means as long as you remain the original owner of the watch, anytime you return the watch back to me for a regular maintenance service it will only cost you $100 plus shipping each time! If any parts are required that will be extra.
One of your _very best_ videos. A wealth of interesting history, and a feast for the eyes. Great work!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that. These videos take up a lot of my time. I really hope they will become great use.
Love that Geneve with the burgundy dial. What a classy piece.
Love the late sixties and seventies Omega and Longines
Great video, thank you. The burgundy dial Omega Geneve looked gorgeous.
Glad you liked it!
This is fantastic !! thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing. I am thinking of buying my first vintage watch! It's not easy though haha
Watch this video. The first 13-14mins will help you a lot: th-cam.com/video/pW6uKYuCkJc/w-d-xo.html

Thanks! Have a happy healthy holiday and stay safe.
You too my friend!

Happy holidays! Thank you for the support!
I inherited my grandfather's old Omega and GP a few years ago. Need a new watch strap for the GP, but it's a lovely piece.
Take good care of both and enjoy matching a nice strap for the GP. Watch my video on matching straps. It will help you to pick out the right one for your watch. :)
@@TimelessHistoryChannel do you have a link to that video?
Hello! What is the guide you were leafing through at the beginning of the video?It looked like it had a lot of good information in it. Thanks

Great video. What do you think about Gruen?
They are fantastic. Always make sure about the condition
Thanks for the video. Do you service vintage watches?
You're welcome. Due to my busy schedule, I only service the watches that I sell on my site.

Q? Have you ever had a Seamaster Dynamic II (Spider)? If so, what are your thoughts?
Spider dials are very interesting and loved by a group of collector. However, regardless of the model or brand, thoroughly examine the condition of the dial before you buy it. Spider dial is an unique way of aging and is actually the dial cracking up. It looks cool, so collectors describe the crack this way to make it sounds interesting.

I just purchased a 14K Vintage Movado Not Too Sure On Model tho !
Nice! Well, normally when the dial is blank then the model is unsigned. Meaning a regular model. But that does not mean you bought a bad watch. Condition is most important. The model design is only a personal preference thing.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel It’s a Rectangular/Square 14K YG Movado With Brown Leather Straps It’s A Mechanical Hand-Winding WristWatch . All I Know
Good to find out more from the seller. Not very good to buy a watch without knowing much about it.
Very nice list. I recently ordered a Gruen Precision (original Bond watch), and waiting on it to arrive. Have you any feedback on these pieces?
Have not work on one for a long time. But it is a great size watch and a quality movement.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel awesome, thanks! Looking forward to getting it.

@@TimelessHistoryChannel ah ok thank you. Maybe just some Polywatch on the crystal.
@@cdb5001 Yes, that will do the job. Movement service will be fine as well since you want to wear a watch that keeps time.
Which book is that?
How is the ETERNA brand grading in the history?
A very good watch brand. Just very underrated.
