    Found this on WUS this morning. I feel that this price is pretty low compared to others I have seen at this quality. I don't know if my newbie eyes are really that bad, but it doesn't look like there's anything wrong. What do you guys think?

    And some photos that I copies over... there are more when you follow the link.

    Looks like the watch has been polished and you can see a minor dent on the left hand side. The seller also does mention that a $40 replate would bring the watch back up to scratch somewhat, due to wear on the case. The photos don't really show this side. Omega crown, dial and glass appear original.

    Considering that you have to factor in shipping, a possible replate and the option to have the watch 'serviced' (which I use loosely) the total cost of the watch will be anywhere between $300-400. It's not bad; however for that price you can include some vintage Seamaster models.

    Replating doesn't fill in and cover over dents and scratches.

    Thank you! I often just like to get at least one or two other opinions to sway me one way or another. :D
