I'm in the market for a 36mm Omega Seamaster 300m and I received this offer from a guy I met on reddit:

"
This comes as watch only, no box or papers. This model is from the 2003-2010 era which was the last years for the 36 mm "midsize" Seamaster professional.

This watch keeps time very well. The only thing is that the bezel insert is aftermarket. Price is 3200CAD (which is 2300usd)
"
Do you guys think this is a good price? How much do you think the aftermarket bezel insert affects the pricing? Personally I don't mind the bezel inserts, I find this era of Seamaster captivating. Below I have attached images and videos of the watch.

Is 223 amplitude a little low for this watch? Thank you for your resources I think I can negotiate him down
Minimum acceptable by Omega is 200 after 24 hours of running. But generally you’d expect it to be closer to 270-300 when full wound. You might ask the seller to give it a full wind and retest. If it’s still on the low side, I’d assume it needs a service soon and ask for a discount.
