    Hi All,
    Just got this for USD200, everything seems legit, or anything I missed here? Thanks! (Apologise for the non hi-res pics)

    Looks OK from those pictures. Good going at that price.

    Google "Omega 135.041"

    Make sure you put the $$ you saved into a service before too long.

    After the nuclear winter, only two things will be tickin'.

    Cockroaches and Caliber 601s.

    I think you've done reasonably well for $200. Nice dial, nice case, and did I mention my admiration for the 601?

    For what it's worth, you probably want to find a new gasket for the caseback, but besides that, the piece looks pretty good.

    Thanks for the comment! Actually there are “islands” on the dial :p

    Make sure you don't have that case put to the buffing wheel though! The case in its current condition seems rather nice and relatively unpolished, but polishing can ruin those pleasant curves and edges by turning the watch into a blob of metal...

    Yes, it's currently has that brushed look. Thanks for the advice!
