Watch Buying Advice

From the Timepiece Team

We had a reader reach out on Twitter asking if he should buy a vintage watch. That’s one of our favorite topics, so we were happy to weigh in.

I found a great deal on a used Omega Great White GMT. What do the watch folks in your office think of it?

We'll ask 👍 Link to the listing?

It's at a local jeweler we use, so no listing. $2200

Seems like a great daily watch. GMTs are essential if you travel or love watches, and hard to find at that price, so it seems solid. 1/2

A hint of Rolex Explorer II in the design, not that that's a bad thing. And I'm a fan of the wave dial pattern so that's another plus. 2/2

Thanks. You confirmed what I already suspected. It's my first watch over $100. I bough the Seiko Sea Urchin because of your article on it
