    Yes it should have a seconds hand. I can see the pivot where the seconds hand goes into but I can't tell whether it's a bit short or not.

    EDIT: Looking at the 2nd photo it seems a bit short, honestly... It should stick out more. Not 100% certain.

    Thanks. I was wondering if this was a variant without seconds hand. The cal. 712 was often used as a two-hander though it has a central seconds capability. But from the pics I thought there was a pivot there, as dx009 noticed.

    Too bad, how much did somebody pay for a watch missing a second hand I see it’s gone

    in the weekend flea markets in NYC there would often be a few old omegas missing the second hand and found that usually there is a reason why the second hand isn't mounted and it's due to a bad wheel.

    The missing seconds hand is nothing. Easy to install and probably not hard to find (nor expensive).

    Easy to install, certainly. Easy to find, I don't know. But I would not buy a watch in that state for the reason Fred (?) stated above. And no movement pics.
