Just a brief update on my sub £300 Omega search - I found a place in London which does a lot of them around this price point. None of them are straight up collectors items - most of them are of the Indian school of vintage watches, so the movements and cases tend to be original but they've got replacement backs and straps and sometimes crowns - but they're quite up front about it. Anyway I picked something up from there and I'm very happy. Link is http://www.vintagewatchmart.com/
