Omegamaniacs meet on Friday 29th June 2007  2 Comments

Published Wednesday, June 13, 2007 by Harry SK Tan |

 

A small group of enthusiastic vintage Omega collectors have gotten together to organise a small meet for watch fans to come together to hear Dr Bernard Cheong share his insights on vintage Omegas.
With the cost of new luxury and high end watches escalating to previously unheard of levels, returning to collecting of great and rare vintage pieces will soon be a common change with collectors. Many unheard of or lesser brands passing themselves off as desirable through slick marketing and expensive new models in a vain attempt to draw some of the rich pickings away from the mainstream marques. Even in the preowned market has seen some level of inflation following the rise in prices of current models.
So in my view, the smart money has begun to gradually move to vintage - if you can find any. However, knowing how to buy vintage timepieces takes some skill and willingness to carry out research on the watches. For a leg up on how to start, register for this meet as Dr Cheong should be able to point you in the right direction.
