Been watching this omega with a very rare 1035 1501 double signed flat link for a while
Unfortunately it’s from Japan and tax’s, vat and the endless fees what it’ll cost to get to the uk would be ridiculous

Condition doesn’t look fantastic but maybe could be restored
The watch isn’t also in the best of condition but you could easily get £350/450
Maybe someone in Japan may get it for a better price ?
I don’t believe the endlinks are correct
Tho one did sell on here a good few years ago for £1750

Of course it can be restored and wouldn’t even require much. You pay “only” 20% tax (+handling £12-15) compared to our 25,5%. What I’m worried about is the asking price on this particular watch. I think it’s too high. For that money there are much better options.
Edit: Of course, if you want this piece and have been looking for it and want it in your collection, then you should buy it if you have the money and want it for yourself.
