That one is pretty tired, what country are you in? https://www.chrono24.com/omega/omeg...18414087.htm?searchHash=b2332097_pWOb88&pos=6 is a much better piece for example.

Also with the serial number on the lugs, I am not sure that is a 1986 production piece, and that production started around 1994 for that model.

There are a lot of them in the US for under 2,000 pounds if you are in the UK. A simple search for 168.1502 yields a lot of great looking pieces. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=omega+168.1502

Just going to mention, 1986 wasn't the best time period for Omega, aside from the Speedmaster Pro, the Louis Brandt, there was a whole lot of very mediocre watches around during that time period as the company had been teetering on the edge of bankruptcy for many years at that point.

Since you are in the UK (I'm guessing, you linked to ebay.co.uk), try https://www.birthyearwatches.com/.
The owner is an enthusiast and a gentleman. I have bought two watches from Birthyearwatches and couldn't be happier with them.
No connection with the site other than being a customer.
