    Considering buying this timepiece. Not very knowledgable with these models but I do really like these antique military omegas. Need some help and opinions before making decision

    I would give it a skip unless really really cheap. Just not too eye pleasing for myself if I was to wear it.

    reprinted dial. swiss made next to the 6 missing. and a lousy dial anyway. movement has a problem; regulator out of range. could be the wrong hairspring. they are $ 300 plus for the open balances now. if you find one..... overpriced for the flaws. kind regards. achim

    It's a poor example of a relatively common watch. It's a parts watch in its current state.
