I picked this up at an auction for a really good price works really well very accurate to watch.I guess there was just service, but i'm not sure. It looks original, but as always.I don't have the experience to be one hundred percent especially in terms of the dial.

The watch looks a bit dirty for an newly serviced watcth, Also the endlinks looks wrong. A repainted dial dont look like this I think and are the hair looking things inside or are they cracks in the crystal?

There’s some dirt around the omega logo which looks a bit suspicious, but don’t see anything else that obviously indicates redial. Either way, for $300 with the box I’d say you did pretty good.

$300 is about what it is worth, perhaps a decent deal. Though, based on the condition, I doubt the "recently serviced", so expect to have to pay another $300-$400 to get it professionally serviced if you want to wear it.

Yeah, thanks.I'll put it on the time grapher, and I'll post a picture of the movement later on when I get home today. I wore it last weekend. It was pretty accurate, so
Fingers crossed. Thank you.As always.I have a great weekend
