I've been after one of these for years. They don't come up very often and when they do they aren't usually in as good a condition as the one in the opening post.
@chamomilet If you are new to vintage watch collecting, you either have a talent for it, or you've been rather lucky!
I'm sorry to hear that you've been searching for one of these for years without success. However, online transactions, despite language barriers, offer a somewhat level playing field for everyone. I must admit, I do consider myself quite lucky. Finding this watch and then discovering and joining this Omega forum was too.
It's not so much that I recently started collecting vintage watches; rather, I've always had a fondness for square-faced watches and the charm of vintage Omegas. That's how I happened to come across this watch while searching for a square-faced Omega piece.
(Normally, I use a Casio AQ-230. lol. —it's square-faced, affordable, yet elegant, which is why I like it (I've uploaded an image)).
I live in Japan, Japanese currency is low now, the Japanese market might seem inexpensive from perspective. If there's anything you need from the Japanese market, I can will be to help for your dream.
I also hope that you find a watch that meets your satisfaction.

By the way, this is translated using an automated tool, but I hope it conveys my thoughts properly. I'm a little worried, but I sent it anyway.
