The pictures aren’t good enough to make a decision.

I’d need to see all the angles and finishes of the case, from all sides, in high resolution before even considering opening my wallet.

The dial and hands look nice, the movement needs a service, and it needs a new crystal - but if the case isn’t right (or isn’t appealing enough as is, for you to love it), it’s really not worth your time.

Thanks, agree the bracelet is an important factor on these, never really gelled with a MKii on strap.. I have had MKiis on several different Omega bracelets over the years but the 1162, as on mine, is far and away my favourite. The taper is awesome.
The big steel tonneau case with the integrated lugs just works with the bracelet - straps dont seem right. And the taper you get with vintage bracelets is just perfect. Thanks again for posting and hope you get to enjoy lots of time with the MkII on the wrist
