    Thanks in advance.

    Impossible to say anything with pictures like that.

    Tell the seller to remove the Vasoline from the camera lens.

    In addition, we need pictures of the movement and inside of the case back.

    I suspect that's a nice original black dial. While the crown is a later replacement, the gold capped case looks to be in reasonably good shape.

    Here are more photos

    Caseback says: 14393 4 SC

    Movement appears to be a cal. 561

    17372331 appears to be the serial number

    Any further info would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Is the seller sending you these photos?

    If you want meaningful advice on the state of the movement you will need photos that are in focus.

    I'd be buying now based on those pictures if the price is right... and with pictures like that I suspect it could be a potential bargain

    I would love to take a bite out of that. Seems all original except for the crown. Of course with pictures like that there is always a gamble. But the automatic chronometer words seems to be in the right place for a 14393.

    Thanks for all the inputs.

    Does USD1,300 sound right?

    If the dial is original, then 1300 is a pretty good deal...
    You still need clearer pictures of the dial though.

    Pulled the trigger. Overlooked the crown.

    With rest of my omega family.

    Let’s see some decent pictures of the watch now you have it.
    Enquiring minds want to know if your gamble paid off.

    Are these decent enough photos?

    I changed the strap.

    Thanks for looking.

    I think you uploaded the caseback pic twice instead of one of the dial

    Still can't tell. Too blurry. Take a better photo. Maybe go outside
