Dealers watches often raise questions, that call into doubt the originality, and are often answered by the community thus: "well it may be ok, BUT..."
This is a great watch to wear, and as such I value it. There are one or two niggles that bother me. Funnily enough the serial does not, but I do wonder if the case is original to the watch - but hey, we cannot prove that one bit, so we have to move on.
The dial is damaged, the hands need investigation, but in the photos I see they look very white. The bezel is not great, and looks as though it has spent time off of a watch, and I would bet it was added to replace either a good bezel for use elsewhere or a service bezel.
The pusher issue is strange - if you really do have two different spec pushers, and I cannot quite see that you do, then that would indicate a sub - specification service. Why replace only one pusher? (to save money....aka dealers watch again)
The movement is showing signs of substantial work by poor technicians. Check the screw heads all of which show damage and the general state of the movement which does not look clean. It has been serviced cheaply. (Like a dealer would, to save money)
Absolutely inexcusable to sell a watch as serviced and have it look and perform like this.
Back to this watch. It is not bad, and the price was not bad.
Dont panic. It needs some TLC but all is not lost, if you have access to an Omega Watchmaker.
If this were my watch, I would investigate the hands, check they are vintage tritium. Have the watch serviced, and instruct that all damaged movement screws be replaced.
Check the pushers and see if they are matching Omega pushers - replace if they are two different ones.
Remove and clean the bezel - it might improve.
Of course I recommend STS - they have done wonders for me
