·Can’t understand how it looked in the first place. I see that it has a reprinted dial, but i was curious to know how similar to the original.
Seller asks me for 1300€.
Don’t know if it’s worth it

·With a reprinted dial, it's not worth it if you want it to have any collectible value.

·I don't have enough familiarity with this reference to opine on the value, but it would be greatly reduced with a refinished dial. If there isn't a very particular reason that you want this watch, I would shop for something else. There are plenty of reasonably priced, fully authentic vintage Omegas available for purchase. Start with the private watch sales forum on OF or look at the recommended eBay vintage Omega watches thread that is updated more or less daily by dsio.

·@Anbrew:
It is a nice watch if you just look for design/appearance and not for collectibility and if you are going to accept a size of approx. 30mm
Pluses:
18 K case in good condition
rose gold
original crystal
original hands
hobnail pattern dial
minuses:
small size (depends if you mind or not), I wouldn´t call it a ladies´ watch, rather unisex
reprinted
This is important if you look for originality/collectibility.
IMO the original dial will have looked very similar I guess
If you like the watch try to talk the price down to maybe 900-1000 which should not be impossible.
just my 2 cents

I’m looking as a gift for my wife. 30mm is a perfect size imho. I will continue my searching for now and if necessary, i will consider also to offer a different price later. Thanks

As I have learned in my attempts to give my wife of 37 years jewelry. It’s a dicy proposition unless she picks it. If you insist on gifting her a watch, get one that can be returned.
