I recently came across this vintage Omega and admired its simplicity and that i did not have anything similar in my collection.

I was somewhat concerned by the low price that it might be mechanically deficient and also if the seller was known and reputable.

i did notice some slight rust type of blemishes and wondered if i should b concerned about those as well.

New to this so any insight welcome.

I can vouch for the integrity of this dealer, I have purchased quite a few higher end Seiko watches from him, in Ho Chi Minh City, his father is watchmaker and his sister lives in Japan where he sources most of his watches. All have arrived as advertised and prompt reliable shipping by DHL. As for the watch not up my alley so dont have an opinion other than it is attractive, but the dealer is reputable. I notice that he has had increasing inventory of Omega lately.

Looks legit, but not really a desirable or collectible model. I don't particularly consider it to be a bargain.
