Hello experts! I'm lucky to have been able to return my frankenwatch to the shop after much fighting the owner on how he misrepresented it. Now I am taking my time and doing my research before purchase!

Found this one in a highly regarded local shop. Asking price is $1100. More than I would ideally be paying to get my feet wet, but as you can see the dial is a bit different and the movement looks pristine.

Era is late 1940's.
Serial number = 10,979,001
Vintage Omega Database puts the cal as what I understand is a classic: 30 SC T2

Worth a serious consideration? Thanks!

 

Yes, way over priced.

 

Wow, 3x overpriced! Is this relative to what it would fetch on eBay? As a brick and mortar they probably couldn't compete with that but I wonder do places ever come down? $500 for their stamp of approval might be ok for me.

EDIT: I guess I don't know what a pristine movement looks like. Compared to my last attempt at a purchase this looks much better to me. What flaws do you all see?

 

Thanks for the help everyone. The learning process continues! And this time I saved myself some time and money.
