Automatic. "Fully restored" what ever that means. "Running well on time for a vintage watch".

Sorry it is in Swedish.

What do you think? What is the value of such pieces?

What about quality of these watches? Comparable to Omegas of this era? Of less quality?

How are they to service? Expensive? Hard to find people to do it? Parts availability?

Would really appreciate some input as I am completely blank on this brand!

"Fully restored" usually means quite a bit of case work has been done and the dial was refinished.

Can't tell you much about the brand because I just don't bother with it.

You don't bother about the brand as such or just these specific ones since the appear to be refurbished? They seem to have a few good looking models.

The whole brand - too many Mumbai specials and not enough interesting watches IMO. They weren't bad, but why bother when there are SOOOO many other cooler watches around?

Fair comment 😀

I just got stuck on the design of these two to be honest. Main focus is to find my first vintage Omega.... need to try and stay on track... too many possibilities of wandering off in the fantastic world of watches 😀
