Hi everyone,
I'm looking at the watch listed below. The seller is the first owner, service history is unknown and there are no images of the inside.

I know there is huge risk attached to this, but I'd still wanted to ask your views on the photos that are shared below. What would you find a fair price, assuming the watch is running fine, but that it will need a good service? (ofcourse there's the risk that it's Franken on the inside, but it might be a risk I'm willing to take)

Thanks in advance!

Does the seller still have the bezel that has come off? If not you should either reconsider purchasing or at least lower your offer substantially. Wonderful looking watch besides that.

Ah I feel a bit stupid now! It did feel something was 'missing' but couldn't put my finger on it. For the rest the dial looks beautiful indeed.

No reason to feel stupid. Many of these vintage Omegas don’t look too off for an eye that’s not as extensively trained. It’s a significant issue though.

If the seller is the original owner how can they not know the service history? Dial looks good and crown is correct for the watch.
As @ConElPueblo notes you will need a bezel ring. Unless you like the crystal to fall off when you twist your arm.

The bezel does not hold the crystal on this model, so no risk involved wearing it as is
