Help with a Watch from Vancouver

Hi Everyone,

I'm a total watch novice and am new to the forum - I'm looking for a gift for my husband as he finishes some schooling this winter!

This is a suprise for him so I'm getting help from some of his friends who introduced me to this forum.

He's really wanting a vintage Omega watch (seamaster?) and really likes the metal bands (bead of rice?) with the lighter face colour. I sneakily measured and his wrist is 7".

If anyone has any leads, I would really appreciate it!

Welcome first of all ! watches are great gifts that last a lifetime and then some. I would start by asking if you have a budget for said Omega ? I can't suggest a local place but
I'm sure some Vancouver members like @Braindrain can assist perhaps. We have an under 2K section here where you may find what your looking for as well. Best Of Luck !

I recently bought a vintage Omega from @Vanallard and he had a few more although they may be gone by now. There is no shortage of vintage Omega on the market and a beads of rice is one of my favorite bracelets. Condition is the only thing, try to get the seller to put it on a timegrapher so you at least can confirm it's running half decently. Very few service their watches with any frequency so it's a crap shoot. Van does more than most and he'll tell you if not.
