Hello all, This is my first time posting, although I have been admiring Omega watches for a long time. Currently, I am considering buying this watch. The seller has given the following information, and I would like to know more about it, and whether or not it is authentic (as I've never seen one like this before.) Asking Price: $520 1960 Omega Seamaster Automatic 14k Gold Cap over Stainless Steel Luminous Dial and Gold Hands Plastic Crystal Caliber 552 Serial Number on Movement: 17186687 This is all I know about it, at present. I am not concerned with the band at all, as I will be replacing it immediately. Thank you in advance for any and all help. James
Don't buy that watch. It's over polished, the gold capping is worn through at the tips of the lugs, and it's a badly refinished dial. It has the wrong hands, a worn (and probably wrong) crown...... the list goes on.
I follow a lot of threads and have made some mistakes and I can tell you...YOU GUYS ROCK telling us new guys the insights. I for one am very grateful for the advice I see.
What was the redialer thinking?! That's a terrible dial! How bad must the original have been for that to be an improvement?
