Where to buy a vintage Seamaster near NYC?

I like the vintage 1960s Omega Seamasters with domed (pie plate?) crystals.
Anyone know where to get them in the NYC area? Do the trusted sellers on this site sell them?

Of course, if anyone wants to post a picture of their vintage Omega, I have no objection.

Go see John C. (aka Johnny Rolex, aka Johnny Two-Watch, aka Johnny Cigars) at the jewelry exchange on Bowery and Canal. He's a vintage watch dealer, and he'll talk to you for hours about vintage pieces of all brands. He's sure to have some Omegas for you.

I think you maybe refering to the pie pan dials, typically found on Constellations, not Seamasters.

If you're in NYC area I'd definitely talk to kringkily. He's the expert on selling modern /vintage speedmasters on omega forums and sells here also . Good luck.

I think the previous poster is correct. Piepan on Constellation.

That's great! He's a great guy, with an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage watches (and Cuban cigars, and whisky, and music, and literature, and art...).

Have a pic of the watch?
