    Imho really nice watch with a sharp case and rare dial structure. Do you have a photo of the inside of the caseback? I think it is a REF 168.010 which would mean it is 36 mm in diameter so rather big for a vintage dress watch. Does it have an original bracelet too? IWhether or not, I think this is a good buy...

    Bracelet does not look like it fits seamlessly. Probably 2mm smaller than the lug width.

    And also may I know what you are referring to with the arrow?

    It looks like the rotor was rubbing against the caseback and is pretty worn out...

    Would you still splash 500USD on this given the chance? Im pretty new to omegas. Just found the dial a tad unique.And if you noticed, the area around the 11-12th hour, there is a slight brownish tinge. Any cause for concern?

    As has been noted by others, pluses and minuses here

    +ve - nice sharp case, nice unusual dial

    -ve - obvious rotor rub (and expect to see corresponding rubbing on the inside of the case back), so will definately need a service - so you will need to factor this in ( could be 200-500$ depending on what needs to be replaced inside the movement)

    So worse case, the watch now stands at $1000 - are you still tempted?

    I would say it's a fair price for what it is...it probably needs a crystal since it looks like there are some small cracks.
