1971 Omega Geneve 166.070 - needs service

I bought this watch for the bracelet that was mounted on it with the intention of passing on the watch itself to another member. Nice entry-level vintage Omega, 35mm all-stainless case with high quality cal 565 movement. Attractive sunburst silver dial with beautifully aged lume dots and matching hands. Minor scratches on the Omega-signed crystal and a few tool marks on the caseback. The watch is running and setting and the movement looks clean by eye, but the crown is extremely stiff in the winding position and I can barely turn it, so it is being sold as needing service and priced accordingly.

Please take a good look at the photos and let me know if you have questions.

My asking price is $385 USD by PP F&F, Zelle, or potentially other fee-free electronic payment. The watch and I are in the US (Colorado). Shipping included within the US.
