Hello!
Looking to finally buy my first vintage piece and this one popped up locally. Really like the look of it , but have zero experience in telling if it´s all "original"...?
Thank you for your time!

Looks original and in decent condition. Original crown, case slightly polished but perfectly normal.
Dial is a known variation but better pictures needed to confirm dial condition.

It is an entry level piece and should be priced accordingly.

Thank you for your time! Seller is asking 600€ , so I suspect a little overpriced...?

600 EUD is a little overpriced, but not horribly so. They tend to go for ~$500-$600 US (so closer to 500 EUD). I WILL note that it is a 613 movement, which, IMO, is the nicest of the Omega hand-wind 3-hander/date movements. So if it was me, I'd be willing to overpay a little for that (the rest of the manual-wind mens-size-date movements don't have quickset).

Movement picture is a little fuzzy, so not clear how much it'll need cleaning, but always buy vintage with the expectation of "Soon".

As David said, the case is a bit polished, but not horribly so. IF it had a good timegrapher result (mostly a good amplitude) I'd be more willing to pay higher-end prices though, since that means you won't NEED a service immediately.

Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated... I guess the "linen" dial name led me to wrongly assume this was a more sought after piece... 😀

Unless I'm missing something in those pictures, that dial does not look like a linen dial. But the picture isn't great. That said, the value of them depends very much on the watch itself.
