No, I just meant RUN LIKE HELL! You're asking a collectors forum what do we think of your potential omega and we tried to tell you dont buy. We do this with a lot of people and at the end of the year we send our newcomers the bill for our advice. But if you dont mind all the problems with the watch then you should buy it. Good luck!
So why did you come here asking questions in the first place?
To be fair, this reference often get overlooked as it "misses" the sharp angles of the contemporary Omegas, where a thorough polishing would make the watch nearly worthless as all those facets would get removed.
I remember when one of these in extremely nice condition was posted in the "Recommended Vintage Omegas..." thread and it was panned by a couple of members as being massively overpolished 😵💫
It’s from the year I was born. I’m not a collector, I really like the look of the watch and don’t plan on reselling. I bid on eBay for it and lots of people were bidding. I don’t think I overpaid for it and when people come onto a forum seeking help I personally don’t think Forrest Gump references are helpful in my opinion
Welcome to the forum. The general feeling seems to be... ask BEFORE you spend good money on something many here feel is not a good example of the reference. I'm glad you have a birth year watch you're happy with. Wear the heck out of it. I'm still looking for the "right" one myself.
Have fun

Thanks for any info. It all helps and I’m trying to learn. Liked the fact it was a bit larger which I’m guessing might be a bit unusual for the sixties ?
