I’m not sure if they know and are just trying to scam, or maybe they are convinced it’s original. I just can’t find a white honeycomb dial that has square gold hour markers. This is from a redditor’s private collection that I met through r/watchexchange. Do you think it’s even worth looking at some more watches they have? or they are all probably messed with? I’m just trying to find a decent 50’s-60’s sea master, no date, and preferably in steel not gold. If anyone has any other places/sellers/locations to look please let me know.

Thanks for the help

You will find original watches at fair prices here on OF

I wouldn’t waste more time with your seller they are at best uninformed

I’ve searched through there and was only able to find one seamaster, but I just didn’t care for the dial. Do you know of any sellers I can directly reach out to on OF, or verified sellers on Chrono. Or do i just need to be super patient and wait a couple months and check back?

🇺🇸 Vintage Omega Geneve 166.041 Racing Dial going no reserve in 7 hours

https://www.ebay.com/itm/257262035592

Being new to vintage Omega If you go it alone on EB or Chrono you will likely buy junk or overpay

You can have 2 of the following:
-good condition

• fair price
• a watch right now

Patience is key.
Stick around you will learn here.

You need to check every day, good watches go quickly.
