Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-century Omega watches from this era feature manual-wind or automatic mechanical movements housed in refined gold or stainless steel cases, often featuring clean dials with sub-seconds dials or central sweep seconds.

These timepieces were crafted using hallmarked solid gold cases, silvered or ivory dials, acrylic crystals, and precise Swiss-made mechanical movements paired with leather straps.

Authenticity can be verified by inspecting internal case back hallmarks, checking movement serial numbers against production databases, and verifying calibre stamps such as Calibre 268.

A vintage gold wristwatch serves as a subtle accessory, pairing effortlessly with formal tailoring, business attire, or smart casual wear.

Keep the timepiece away from water and magnetic fields, store it in a dry environment, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a qualified horologist every three to five years.
