··Sunburst dial fanHi @Drewbogdanovich,
I think your watch looks fine and the price is fair and it's one that you’ll enjoy if you buy it.
The only feature that you should consider is that it is 34mm plus crown diameter. In the following decade, Omega's cases were generally 34.5 but, if like me you have thinnish wrists, this won’t be a problem.
The 591 movement runs well, is easy to service and the watch is reliable. If you post where you are, someone will be able to recommend a good local watchmaker for a service for the future and that would probably cost about $150 (give or take).
The alpha lance hands and crown are correct for the watch and I attach photos of my 1959 model (your movement is dated 1960) for you to compare. I suspect, from the condition, it’s been kept in someone’s sock drawer for most of the last 63 years, given the nice condition, notwithstanding that the current seller has probably given the case a polish.
