    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?

    You did not get burned at $850

    Not over polished and it’s attractive.

    I agree. It looks like a nice honest example.

    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 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. :thumbsup:

    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!

    For that price, i think it's a great pick up.

    +1 on the orange hands!

    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.
