Impulsively purchased an Omega Seamaster Chrono Ref. 145.007 from Ebay. I have seen them before, loved the look, but not entirely sure about the market for these. Can any of the experts here tell me what they think of the example I purchased? I know a bit hard to tell without a picture of the movement. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Seam...7kvKKSF9lRR9Qmvjcgahc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=ncPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Also, does anyone know the correct bracelet for this reference?

The mark between crown and pusher is a likely a Portuguese tax stamp, which means that it was originally sold in that country.
Looks like all the parts are Original! Also the tritium dots are still there.. see a lot of dials who misses them
Looks like a piece of junk. I have a nice Seiko I'll trade you so you won't have to face the embarrassment of wearing that thing.... Actually I like it a lot.
I appreciate the comments and thoughts. Looks like I got a little lucky buying this on EBay without much knowledge on the watch. Now I just have to wait for the seller to ship it out... Also, @Tony C. I believe you are correct. The mark has been advertised as a Portugeuse tax stamp. I was shocked when I learned Portugal was marking watches like that!
Watch came in and I must say I’m surprised. I’ve been lucky to have some amazings watches, which were far more expensive than this Omega. But I think somehow this watch that cost me less than $1,000 is one of the best. I’m officially a Omega guy (never thought I could let Rolex go). Anyone else ever feel this way about a watch that doesn’t cost more than 1/10 of the majority of the watches on this form? Feel free to let me know if you think I’m crazy.
