For so long I wanted to buy vintage Omega and finally found a seller showing me this vintage Omega model (see pics) Does anyone see any issues with it on first glance?
I am a first time vintage buyer, and first time omega buyer. Tried finding this model on the internet, but can't find one with same details (found nearly same looking model, but with Seamaster embeded below the Omega sign).
Any advice is welcome.

What is immediately jumping out at me is the extreme damage to the gold-plated lugs. Not a recommended watch. And I certainly don't think it's a Seamaster. Maybe you are comparing dials, but that's not how the model/reference is determined.

In general, you should show photos from various angles, including the inside of the case-back and the movement.

Thank you for the advice!
Provided some more pics from seller's page (above edited). I asked for movement photo, still waiting for it.

I don’t think you need to waste any more time on this particular watch.

Perfect example of nice ‘catalogue’ style photography of a crappy watch.
