Love the last one. I just purchased my first vintage Omega this weekend. Ref# 198030. I’m already in love with it. Came with original leather band and box. He told me the watch didn’t work but all I did was put a battery in and voila, it works. Best 200$ I’ve ever spent.
Wow man! Amazing collection. I recently aquired a 30T2sc ref.2179 in mint condition, like the 2384 were both purchased by the U.S. Army, altough they were both used by civilians too. It is a 1945 model, even came with its original papers (a kind of booklet from the argentinian importer). Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
That's awesome man. I'll have a part two video of my 30T2 collection hopefully soon. There are about 10 more pieces including my 2179. But the civilian version and not mint like your of course. So take good care of your!
Wow! Love all of these, and they're in such good condition too. Particularly like the gold CK 2364, and the steel CK 2384. I wish I could find one in this condition!
Amazing collection. absolutely stunning. I have a 1968 steel constellation pie pan which is my daily wearer. and an early 40's 18kt 30t2 with the original leather band. I would love to learn more.
My respect to an Omega man with a great specialist collection. Would be interested in seeing additions to the flock. Like your style. I can't choose a single watch!
I like the one with roman mix hour indexes🤩 you are good at reviews, and maybe you can tell us what you are looking for when buying vintage, you have a beautiful collection
Have you ever examined your vintage Omega cases and lugs with an eye piece. When I viewed my 1965 gold filled Omega 560cal.'s bottom lug portions with a magnifier I noticed wear holes in the corners and edges. And there's severe hollowed out corrosion pits were the steel or brass used to be. Have you ever noticed this on any of your vintage pieces? Thanks.
This sort of wear you'll find mainly on gold plated or gold filled model. My eyes are still pretty good to spot these issues without using a magnifier. I try to avoid them. But very minor wear I can live with it.
hi, sorry for the slow response. Holiday season. not all dial can be cleaned up nicely. And on some dial if you try to clean it will remove all the font/print on the dial! That would be a nightmare. Best to let a watch maker do the cleaning lightly while he is working on the watch.
Just now found your channel and web site. I enjoy your videos and am finding them very informative. I have a couple of questions: do you polish the watches in your collection or the ones available on your web site for sale as you're restoring them? They do not look like highly polished cases at all, but they are usually in pretty nice looking condition and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on polishing. Also, do you ever replace parts like hands or crowns on your watches? The watches in this video are all beautiful and appear to be entirely original; do the watches for sale on your site ever have replacement parts or are they all original? I would like to get a vintage watch or two, but would never consider myself a serious collector, but rather someone that would enjoy having and wearing a nice vintage watch, so I'm not sure how important 100% original would be for me. So, I am interested in your thoughts on this topic. I am blown away by how much you know about these beautiful vintage watches. Thanks for the great videos. I'm looking forward to watching more of them in the days ahead.
Hi there, follow this link to learn about myself and the sort of work I do to restore a watch: www.omegaenthusiast.com/contact.html - I do not polish the case on my watches. But in some occasion the watch may come to me already slightly polished. But I myself will not polish the case as I like to keep my own watches to be as original untouched as possible. I do not replace movement parts either. Omega do not make generic parts for their movement either. For instance, you cannot take a machine part from a BMW and try installing it into a Mercede, they will not work or fit. I do my best to restore my watches and keeping them as original as I can. Which is why I make those "watch's wrong" youtube videos to educate people.
A vintage watch does not need show patina in order to be factory original. When the previous owner takes good care of his watch it will remain in great shape for many many many decades. And it does not mean a watch with patina will be factory original either. It could be an old redial which aged over the years. Know your stuff is the most important thing. All of my 30T2 come with factory original finish dials. NOTHING IS REDIAL.
Whats the difference between ck 2400 and ck 2383-6? Were both made for the swedish military? I have the opportunity to buy a 2383-6 and I am swedish, so would be great to know more info about the watch :)
i had a 1943 omega 15 jewel watch that i bought for 10 dollars back in the late seventies on skid row in Vancouver . i threw it away because the balance spring broke and i thought the watch was not worth fixing .
@@TimelessHistoryChannel : the case was fine but the dial was corroded and its quite possible it had seen military duty in the second world war and came home with someone to Vancouver and maybe pawned or sold for the price of a beer or something .
@@TimelessHistoryChannel : i also bought an old 1940-50s connie from a thrift store . it was heavily worn inside the lugs , probably from one of those flex bands that guys used to wear back in the day . the bumper movement still worked fine though but something happened and it got thrown away or something . silly me
@@TimelessHistoryChannel : ever since a kid i loved nice watches , especially Omegas but i didnt really like spending much money on such things . another mistake i made in my life .
Hi thank You for a awsome Channel! Im looking to buy my first vintage omega, got One coming Up in auction Next week, only problem is the auction house dont have any information on the watch and i cant find One similar anywhere online, any sugestions?
What kind of watch is it? Seamaster, constellation etc. I would recommend going to his site omegaenthusiast.com . Just bought my first 2 vintage watches from there and couldn't be happier!
I got mine a long time ago taken out from another watch. But for brand new ones I have heard from other collectors that you can order them from this Japanese dealer"Private eyes". Try searching them on Google. :-)
The movement is exactly the same as all other 30T2 movement, but since it is a Chronometre version the finish on some parts will differ from regular version. And the regulator bridge has a different regulator design as well.
I do not collect or own anything that has a renew/refinished/restored dial. All of my watches must retain their factory original finish dial. I do not recommend you to refinish the dial. But it is your watch, so you feel free to do whatever you wish as long as you are happy.
Hi there, i chanced upon your videos and I just took a risk and bought a vintage omega seamaster cosmic, ref 165.023 (according to the caseback). I'm worried it may be a fake, any chance i can share the photos with you and let you have a look?
Congrats. Make sure you know for sure before you buy anything. Don't take risk. I am always very busy, but please share it on the Omega forums and I am very sure a specialist there will answer your question. :-)
Well I have a watch in which in the front part it has marking omega with its symbol and Swiss made and in the back the cover is having the half radius of total radius of back of watch which model is this one It is not the first model in this video
thank you for sharing. Since I am very busy with my watch business. I suggest best that you make a post on the Omega forums about your watch. I am sure many experts there will be able to help you out.
Hi! Id like to send you a picture of one of my grandpa watch. I don't know which model is and I'm not an expert. I'd like to know from an expert. Could you please help me
Great collection! Love those vintage Omegas. However, do yourself a favor and watch your video before you post it to TH-cam....they’re pretty messy. Half the time you’re showcasing the watch it’s partially off screen and you keep twisting and turning the watch, just hold it still in front of the camera for a few seconds each time. Also sometimes you’re too close and it’s out of focus. Hope this is constructive for you.
Actually, if you have been following me on IG, I'll privately sold quite a few pieces there. Only when I have two of the same identical piece, I'll post the double on IG for sale privately. I like them a lot, but I've sold a lot as well.
It's good to have some patience. I made this video very early on when I first started youtube. A lot to learn especially when youtube is not my full time. I am really just here to help and educate people.
Those are all beautiful watches. I just bought my first Omega just last week, a 50yr. old Genève Dynamic day/date. I love it!.
Nice! Congrats!

Wonderful collection. Well done. I love number 7 bullseye watch. I'd be proud to wear any of them
I may need to update this video. Collection has expanded a bit. haha
Lovely collection thanks for sharing them here.
Thank you! Will share more of my other examples in the future. Enjoy!
Wow man! Amazing collection. I recently aquired a 30T2sc ref.2179 in mint condition, like the 2384 were both purchased by the U.S. Army, altough they were both used by civilians too. It is a 1945 model, even came with its original papers (a kind of booklet from the argentinian importer).

Man your collection is inspiring, keep them coming .
Thank you bro as always!
Amazing collection about dressy and army Omega watches ..
Love the first Suveran. The numbers are amazing!
Thank you!
The 2364 30T2-RG is beautiful! I've been looking for one of these for myself for about 2 years! Great find :)
Thank you! I really hope you will find one soon! :-)
But do take your time as this model is best to find one in great shape.
Wow! Love all of these, and they're in such good condition too. Particularly like the gold CK 2364, and the steel CK 2384. I wish I could find one in this condition!
Thanks! Check part two of my 30T2 collection. Eventually, I'll have a part 3 completed in the near future.
Yes I agree! Wish i could find one too🤗
Amazing Omega 30T2 collection! Wish to find one too🤗👍
Thank you! You will definitely need to watch part 2 and 3 of my 30T2 collection! :-)
Amazing collection.
absolutely stunning.
I have a 1968 steel constellation pie pan which is my daily wearer. and an early 40's 18kt 30t2 with the original leather band. I would love to learn more.
Best is to know what case model they are. That will allow you to learn more about the watch since You'll be able to search it online.
My respect to an Omega man with a great specialist collection. Would be interested in seeing additions to the flock. Like your style. I can't choose a single watch!
Many Thanks! You should watch the latest video with a few more 30T2 examples. :-D
I like the one with roman mix hour indexes🤩 you are good at reviews, and maybe you can tell us what you are looking for when buying vintage, you have a beautiful collection
I like that suggestion. Will make a note of that! Thanks bud. :-)
Awesome collection! Congrats!
A part two will come. :-P

so beautiful. How comes it looks so new after so many years?
Well kept. A vintage watch does not need to look old and beaten up.
nice watches there is one chronograph 101.010 -59 going pretty cheap at bukowskis auction house if interested :)
Awesome Video. Thanks!!! Would it be possible to make a video of "How to clean a dial?" please.
hi, sorry for the slow response. Holiday season.
not all dial can be cleaned up nicely. And on some dial if you try to clean it will remove all the font/print on the dial! That would be a nightmare.

I have a omega and the model number is 1120 can you tell me about what year it was made thank you very much
Where did you find all these vintage watches with such mint dials???
Haha, most are actually purchased from private collectors.
Whats the difference between ck 2400 and ck 2383-6? Were both made for the swedish military? I have the opportunity to buy a 2383-6 and I am swedish, so would be great to know more info about the watch :)
This video I made a while back should answer your question: th-cam.com/video/qCXm-sqj0wY/w-d-xo.html

Ouch. Hurt to hear that, but nothing you can do about it. Only a handful of people were collecting vintage watches in the 90s and early 2000s.

I take the #3 ;-)
Check out the part two of this video. 20 pieces!
The watch with 18k gold
Does it have a mechanism too made of any precious metal?
The movement is exactly the same as all other 30T2 movement, but since it is a Chronometre version the finish on some parts will differ from regular version. And the regulator bridge has a different regulator design as well.
Have you renew some of your dial omega’s? Are you recommending renewing old omega watches?

Great collection! Love those vintage Omegas.

Still new to TH-cam. This video is also one of very early ones. Do apologize for that.
No Seamaster's.
These are 30T2 Omega. They existed before the introduction of the Seamaster. You can find Seamaster in my other videos. :-)
I only see one for sale on the website. I think you like them too much to sell. LOL
Actually, if you have been following me on IG, I'll privately sold quite a few pieces there. Only when I have two of the same identical piece, I'll post the double on IG for sale privately. I like them a lot, but I've sold a lot as well.
I have one Like number 4...and i want to sell it.😁
You should watch my part 2 series of 30T2 collection. 10 more pieces added.
Suveran
Love the watches but drop the horrible rock music that makes it hard to hear your VO
Haha. Thank you. I know, I know. These were my early videos. Sorry about that.
Your audio signal is almost non-existent. I'm bailing out.
It's good to have some patience. I made this video very early on when I first started youtube. A lot to learn especially when youtube is not my full time. I am really just here to help and educate people.
