·Hi all,
Currently looking into an Omega Calypso (196.0234) and would like some help taking a look.
Listed as NOS, pictures look overall fine but a few things stick out.
Movement and rest of the pieces look correct.
Seems like there is some possibility of Frankenwatch and/or some kind of refinishing job to take a worn watch to "NOS". I don't mind wear at all, but don't want to buy something spraypainted or cheaply put back together. Unfortunately can't travel to view watch in person so would really appreciate some feedback from more expert eyes.

- Potential damage on dial @ 10 hour mark
- Some wear on crown while bracelet looks spotless (mismatched wear)
- Slight finish/colouration mismatch on bezel vs case/bracelet. Might not mean anything but the question for me is: is it possible the case/bracelet was refinished cheaply or otherwise? Could just be lighting.
Movement and rest of the pieces look correct.
