路The photographs are made to hide all the things that don鈥檛 work imo. To me it was far away from a bargain, even if you consider buying for parts. 馃憥

@kov - I'd love your insight on this. What stuck out to you that maybe an Omega n00b like me missed? Any thoughts/education would be appreciated. Cheers.

路路Oooo subtitles!Replacement hands and bezel, washed dial, polished case. Possible replaced crown, not a 24 tooth at least. Not a terrible price but not a collector watch.

路Less of a bargain after you buy a nice DON.

路I think the case back is period.
Agree about the rest though. Washed dial, new hands, new bezel. I'll bet his was in pretty poor condition until relatively recently and it's had a dealer spruce up so from a distance it appears a nice example.

路So we can see what the thread is about when the link goes dead.
The discussed case-back.

路@padders @kov - thank you for the education gents. So, when comparing it to a legit one, how does this one compare? I see that the bezel has the tach numbers partially cut off at the top (not to mention the accent over the "e" and the dot above the 90), the lume looks more worn (hence older hands), some grime or "patina" on the hour markers and dings on the lugs (hence not polished). How'd I do? Again, just looking to learn with real life examples since this thread is alive and kicking.
One other thing, I didn't understand what DON meant. Can you give me the quick definition? Sorry, been more of a Seiko junkie recently.

DNN = dot next to ninety
Looks nice. That is a pristine DON you have there. The bezel certainly puts it in a different category than the watch in the OP, value-wise. Is the dial missing most of it's lume, or is it just the photo?

路路Oooo subtitles!Yes I agree with Garron above. That one is a lot nicer and a lot more honest. The lume is spotty though and there is maybe a bit of dial damage across 'Professional' that warrants a closer look before parting with cash though as that is a bad spot to have a scratch etc.
