Actually, hold on, it’s a straight lug dial in a Pro case so it’s not correct. Still high value as parts and could be rectified but it’s not longer the home run I thought it was.

He said he bought it new in 1969 at an authorized omega dealer. So how come it has a wrong dial or case? Any possibility that this is during a transition of cases?

So this is not worth the asking price. And should be purchased for selling parts?

The seller is either lying or has a very bad memory. It has some desirable parts, but it's a project.
He is 78 so maybe just bad memory.
The dial could be very nice, even if it´s not correct for the ref.
The bezel is very nice!
The lumeplots looks also very nice, and hopefully most of "the white stuff" you see is either scratches on the crystal or dirt on the dial.
The case and caseback looks sharp.
The crown and pushers looks original (very blurry pictures).
And the bracelet is a bonus!
Have you asked the seller if the watch has had any service?
It happens. I have had people tell me some crazy and impossible things about watch that they supposedly purchased new.
It’s hard to be sure from those pics, especially if you’re not a watch person and we can’t be sure of dial condition.
I’d say yes, it’s still a definite buy, assuming bracelet is in good nick etc but if you don’t want a project, maybe not. Equally you may not give a damn about an incorrect dial.
It would help if you tell us more about yourself and what you’re looking for. It’s hard to say ‘yes, buy it’ when we don’t know your objectives.
